Description: Saskatoon, Sask. University Extension Press. (ISBN: 0-88880-411-3). 2000. (Mass market paperback) As new. xvi, 588pp. "Expressions in Canadian Native Studies is designed to provide an overview of Native Studies in contemporary Canada. The papers discuss many different Nations and range from the local, such as F. Laurie Barron and Joseph Garcea's "Reflections on Urban Reserves in Saskatchewan"; to the national, such as Bonita Lawrence's "Mixed-Race Urban Native People"; to the international, such as Priscilla Settee's "The Issue of Biodiversity, Intellectual Property Rights, and Indigenous Rights." the essays also provide diverse perspectives on important issues in Native Studies, such as Ron Bourgeault and Tom Flanagan's antithetical takes on the Louis Riel debate, or Joyce Green and Margaret A. Jackson's differing studies of the relationships between Aboriginal women's organizations and the self-government movement. The text also includes maps, excerpts of relevant government documents, and a glossary of terms. While the book is intended as a textbook for Native Studies courses-the critical reading and writing guides will be of primary value to students-it will also be of interest to scholars and more general audiences" Judith Legatt.
