Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 209pp., index, map, biblio., notes. Jacket slightly loosened. "Helen Buckley examines the reserve system imposed by the Canadian government in the 1870s-a system rooted in theories of racial difference-that stifled initiative, opportunity, and self-esteem. The key to change, Buckley urges, is native self-government and the rapid settlement of land claims."
