"Combining contemporary articles with historical documents, this engaging reader examines the rich history of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. The 30 articles - half of which are original to this volume - explore a diverse range of topics, including spirituality, colonialism, self-identity, federal policy, residential schools, labour, and women's rights. With in-depth coverage of events and processes from the earliest times through to the modern day, Aboriginal History: A Reader offers students a new appreciation for the long and complex history of Canada's First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples."--Pub. desc.
