| | Synopsis
|
Based on a viral article, 21 Things You May Not Know About the
Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document
and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous peoples, written by
a leading cultural sensitivity trainer. The Indian Act, after 141
years, continues to shape, control, and constrain the lives and
opportunities of Indigenous peoples, and is at the root of many
lasting stereotypes. Bob Joseph's book comes at a key time in the
reconciliation process, when awareness from both Indigenous and
non-Indigenous communities is at a crescendo. Joseph explains how
Indigenous peoples can step out from under the Indian Act and return
to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance-and why
doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian. He
dissects the complex issues around truth and reconciliation, and
clearly demonstrates why learning about the Indian Act's cruel,
enduring legacy is essential for the country to move toward true
reconciliation.
