Illustrating the various \"arrows in a quiver\" that Indigenous people use to fight back, such as grassroots organizing, political engagement, and the courts, Frideres situates \"settler colonialism\" historically and explains why decolonization requires a fundamental transformation of long-standing government policy for reconciliation to occur. The historical, political, and social context provided by this text offers greater understanding and theorizes what the effective devolution of government power might look like. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A useful introduction to Indigenous issues, especially for post-secondary students in Canada.\" --Jonathan Dewar, co-editor of \u003ci\u003eCultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Frideres (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e James Frideres is the author of \u003ci\u003eAboriginal Peoples in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFirst Nations in the 21st Century. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in Calgary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRandy Lundy (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRandy Lundy \u003c\/b\u003eis a member of the Barren Lands (Cree) First Nation.
