Abstract
"First Principles, Second Thoughts attempts to present a comprehensive analysis of the politics, policy, and law of constitutional reform with respect to the aboriginal peoples of Canada since the patriation of the Canadian Constitution. It does so by providing a thorough account of the evolution of the negotiations and an in-depth analysis of the policy and legal implications of all of the significant proposals that have been made.
First Principles, Second Thoughts is an important work, written with a view to being understandable and enjoyable for non-specialist readers, and is expected to make a significant contribution to the national discourse on aboriginal government because it tries not only to evaluate the positions of the parties, but also to advance proposals for reform."--Back cover.
