Abstract
"Now in its fourth edition, Native Peoples in Canada: Contemporary Conflicts has been thoroughly revised and updated, with extensive coverage of such recent events as the constitutional negotiations and the Oka conflict. It also includes a new chapter on the Native Women's Association of Canada.
Material on self-determination and land claims complements the solid historical and statistical grounding that has always distinguished this text. Not only are the major conflicts clearly defined, but current self-help strategies, such as the development of mineral resources on the reserves, are also identified and evaluated. In addition, federal government policies and legislation are painstakingly examined and criticized."--Back cover.
