Abstract
"Essays by Kjikeptin Alex Denny, james youngblood "sakej" henderson, Joy Mannette, M. E. Turpel/Aki-Kwe and Bob Wall reveal how, even in this latest inquiry, the traditions, understanding, customs and culture of the Mi'kmaq people were almost completely ignored.
"The Marshall Commission Report ... does not deserve accolades. While it acknowledges errors, negligence and mismanagement, it did not make the connections necessary to begin the process of developing a dialogue about a justice system that Aboriginal people can respect, or which respects Aboriginal people" (M. E. Turpel, Dalhousie Law School)."--Back cover.
