Visions of the heart : Canadian aboriginal issues

Long, David Alan, 1958- (editor.). Dickason, Olive Patricia, 1920- (editor.).

Summary: "Now in its third edition, this outstanding collection from leading scholars offers a rich, in-depth study of contemporary issues facing Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Exploring the sources of oppression, this text offers a critical examination of the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and other Canadians throughout the nation's history and up to the present day. Maintaining the same optimistic, forward-looking approach from previous editions, this proven text invites students to reflect on the ways in which Aboriginal people can continue to realize their spiritual and material aspirations. Thoroughly revised and updated, Visions of the Heart, third edition, is essential reading for understanding Aboriginal issues in Canada." -- amazon.com
