Description
Book SynopsisThis remarkable book argues that neoliberalism, which drives government policy concerning First Nations in Canada, can also drive self-determination -- including the Mikisew First Nation, which successfully exploited opportunities for greater autonomy and well-being that the current political and economic climate has presented.
Trade ReviewMs. Slowey presents a highly thought-provoking treatise on the development of self governance for First Nations peoples and it will certainly be a useful resource for all aboriginals in their search for a desirable and workable solution to their demand for justice. Lawyers working through the land claims process towards indigenous governance will find this to be a valuable text. -- Ronald F. MacIsaac * Verdict, Issue 118 *
