First nations? Second thoughts

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

The author examines the prevailing orthodoxy that has determined public policy towards Canada's Aboriginal peoples. Flanagan demonstrates that the policy this orthodoxy produces, enriches a small elite of activists, politicians administrators, and well-connected entrepreneurs, while bringing further misery to the people it is supposed to help. The author includes a chapter on treaties and surrenders in which he discusses the new orthodoxy in this context.
