24 Jan Indigenous Governance, Canada's Colonial Relations, and Political Tactics

A very insightful discussion from 2005 with Professor of Native Studies Taiaiake Alfred on Indigenous Governance in a Canadian Context.
Professor Alfred believes that the goal of the Canadian government for full assimilation for Aboriginal Peoples, is not the right answer and although some native leaders are working in collaboration with the government, the aboriginal peoples themselves have a different vision.
