Abstract:
"Concise and comprehensive, First Nations in the Twenty-First Century examines the lasting legacy and modern impacts of colonialism felt by contemporary Aboriginal peoples. Focusing predominantly on First Nations peoples and including coverage of Métis and Inuit, the second edition continues to address crucial topics such as the impact of residential schools, self-government and federal responsibility, and Aboriginal languages. The text also provides new and expanded discussion of treaties, Aboriginal health and well-being, intergenerational trauma, and Indigenous resistance. Framed within a historical context, First Nations in the Twenty-First Century offers an in-depth treatment of contemporary topics, allowing readers to learn about the experiences of First Nations peoples and their complex relationship with the rest of Canada."--
