Excellent scholarly treatise on the New Iceland Colony in what was then the District of Keewatin in the North West Territory (now within the province of Manitoba) in Canada. It follows the politics and processes under which the Icelandic Reserve was created by the government of Canada and describes its formative years in the context of the European immigration to and the settlement of the Canadian west..

In 1875, Icelandic immigrants established a colony on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipeg. The timing and location of New Iceland was not accidental. Across the Prairies, the Canadian government was creating land reserves for Europeans in the hope that the agricultural development of Indigenous lands would support the state's economic and political ambitions. In this innovative history, Ryan Eyford expands our understanding of the creation of western Canada: his nuanced account traces the connections between Icelandic colonists, the Indigenous people they displaced, and other settler groups while exposing the ideas and practices integral to building a colonial society.
