Mercredi, Ovide

Turpel, Mary Ellen
Description
"Exploding the myth of two founding nations and setting the historical record straight, National Chief Ovide Mercredi and aboriginal rights advocate Mary Ellen Turpel offer readers a uniquely personal view of broken treaty promises, the divisive and racist Indian Act, and the profound failure of Canada's justice and education systems. They look at the volatile situation in Quebec, where distinct cultures struggle for self-determination, and at the role of traditional values in finding new paths for change." - inside front cover.
