Publisher: Page Two Strategies

Book Description

The  Indian Act continues to shape, control, and constrain the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many  stereotypes that persist. Bob Joseph’s book comes at a key time in the reconciliation process, when awareness from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is at a crescendo. Joseph explains how Indigenous Peoples can step out from under the Indian Act and return to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance—and why doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian.
