Book Highlight:
21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act
Helping Canadians Make Reconciliation With Indigenous Peoples a Reality
By Bob Joseph
21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous Peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer.
Since its creation in 1876, the Indian Act has shaped, controlled, and constrained the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many enduring stereotypes.
Available as book and ebook.
