I've always maintained that we, at least sometimes, need to look behind to appreciate what lies ahead (also a fun play on the title of this podcast). Today, Canada's Indian Act is once again at the heart of news and controversy in Canada; however, in ways that few people appreciate. So I took two works of mine, both from around three decades ago, and assembled them into a new book, Canada's Indian Act: Policy Perspectives from the Years Defined by Oka, Meech Lake, and the Royal Commission.
The first half of the book, the first Chapter, adapts a major academic paper (a Master's thesis) I prepared on what was then called Indian Policy. Yeah, it's really academic. That document comes from 1991. The second half, the second Chapter, adapts a research report and submission to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, which was completed in 1992. The second part is more practical in nature, and somewhat more conversational in tone. Together, they form a bit of a time capsule for students, practitioners, or anyone interested in indigenous affairs in Canada, to see what has happening back then, what was different and what hasn't changed - despite more programs of study, more publications, more social awareness and different terminology.
The paperback and e-book versions are available through Amazon.
