Canada's Indian Act

This book revisits two significant early 1990s works—an academic thesis and a Royal Commission report—focused on Canadian Indigenous policy and the Indian Act, transforming them into a compelling historical snapshot. Set against the backdrop of key moments like the Meech Lake Accord and heightened awareness of Indigenous issues, it explores the complex relationship between government policies and Indigenous governance during a time of increased public interest and political tension. The publication provides a nuanced view of Indigenous issues in Canada, capturing a pivotal era of change and dialogue.
