Abstract

"This volume analyzes important practical issues that must be addressed as self-government becomes fully operational. These include: financing; formation of Aboriginal governments; development of Aboriginal institutions to provide education, health care, justice, employment, and other services; participation of urban Aboriginal people; gender rights; the unique circumstances of Métis and many others. The book is an interdisciplinary guide for practitioners, policy makers and students interested in learning more about the aspirations of Canada's Aboriginal Peoples." -- Back cover.
