Description
"In Drumbeat: Anger and Renewal in Indian Country, prominent Native leaders and editor Boyce Richardson tell the history of the relations between eight Indian bands and the Canadian federal and provincial governments. These are the histories of betrayal, double dealing, and racism, and finally, of the Native people's rising anger and determination to claim what has been denied them, and to forge a new and powerful role in Canadian society."--back cover.
