      -- Twenty-one things you may not know about the Indian Act.
      By Joseph, Robert P. C., 1963-
       2018., Adult, Indigenous Relations Press Call No: IND 342.71 J83t    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Based on a viral article, 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous Peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer. Since its creation in 1876, the Indian Act has shaped, controlled, and constrained the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many enduring stereotypes. Bob Joseph's book comes at a key time in the reconciliation process, when awareness from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is at a crescendo. Joseph explains how Indigenous Peoples can step out from under the Indian Act and return to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance--and why doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian. He dissects the complex issues around truth and reconciliation, and clearly demonstrates why learning about the Indian Act's cruel, enduring legacy is essential for the country to move toward true reconciliation.

      By Gehl, Lynn, 1962-
       2017., General, University of Regina Press Call No: IND 305.8 G311c    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Denied her Indigenous status, Lynn Gehl has been fighting her entire life to reclaim mino-pimadiziwin - the good life. Exploring Anishinaabeg philosophy and Anishinaabeg conceptions of truth, Gehl shows how she came to locate her spirit and decolonize her identity, thereby becoming, in her words, "fully human." Gehl also provides a harsh critique of Canada and takes on important anti-colonial battles, including sex discrimination in the Indian Act and the destruction of sacred places. Lynn Gehl is an Algonquin Anishinaabe-kwe from the Ottawa River Valley. She studied chemical technology in college. Her undergraduate studies were in psychology and cultural anthropology. She is the author of The Truth that Wampum Tells: my debwewin on the Algonquin land claims process"--Provided by publisher.
