Aboriginal Peoples in Canada, eighth edition, provides a current, comprehensive introduction to Native Studies. Using both the majority and minority perspectives, it chronicles the changes that have taken place over the past century and how they have impacted upon Canadian and Aboriginal Peoples. The goal of the authors is to provide a critical interpretation of the events that have shaped Aboriginal-Euro-Canadian relations and that thus have formed the structure of Canadian society. With updated statistical material, recent research in Native studies, and expanded sections on the most relevant contemporary topics, this text offers a good balance between social and cultural issues, as well as historical, legal, and theoretical material for students in the field of Aboriginal, First Nations, and Native Studies.
