This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Ecological Indian written by Shepard Krech and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krech (anthropology, Brown U.) treats such provocative issues as whether the Eden in which Native Americans are viewed as living prior to European contact was a feature of native environmentalism or simply low population density; indigenous use of fire; and the Indian role in near-extinctions of buffalo, deer, and beaver. He concludes that early Indians' culturally-mediated closeness with nature was not always congruent with modern conservation ideas, with implications for views of, and by, contemporary Indians.

Download or read book Things Indian written by William Crooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Things Indian: Being Discursive Notes on Various Subjects Connected With India This book is intended to form one of the series which already includes "Things Chinese," by Dr J. D. Ball, and "Things Japanese," by Professor B. H. Chamberlain. The selection of subjects for treatment and the form of the present book naturally differ from those of its predecessors. India is much better known to the English reader than either China or Japan, and there is a large library of works on special questions connected with the country and people, not to speak of encyclopædias like the "Imperial Gazetteer." Hence it has not been considered advisable to discuss at length the history, religion, literature, geography, geology, or natural history of the Empire, subjects which cannot be dealt with in a satisfactory way within the limits of short articles. It has been my object to search in the by-ways of Anglo-Indian literature, and discuss some of the quaint and curious matters connected with the country which are not specially considered in the ordinary books of reference. This method of treating "Things Indian" was suggested to me in the course of reading which I was obliged to undertake in the preparation of a new edition of the "Anglo-Indian Glossary" of Sir H.Yule and Mr Burnell. It seemed to me that it would be interesting to deal in a similarly discursive way, but with more detail, with some of the subjects already included in the Glossary, i to which the present work may be regarded as in some degree a supplement.
