Description
A thoughtful account of life on a reserve and of the interaction of Native people with White society, this volume is based on the author’s three years’ experience with one Indian band on the prairie, during a period in which there were intense negotiations between the band and the federal government. Lithman’s analysis of the political manoeuvring of both sides makes this a rare contemporary account.
