Condizione: Near Fine. Brush Education, 2004. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7þ - 9þ" tall. A clean, tight and unmarked copy- " The Metis people of Canada experienced a coming of age in 2003, when they gained the legal right to be recognized as Aboriginal people by the Supreme Court of Canada. Legislation notwithstanding, Canada's Metis people still face struggles on a number of fronts. One primary concern is to achieve a measure of internal unity to present a single front to their Canadian neighbors.

We Are Included provides historical background necessary to understanding the long struggle of the Metis for legal and cultural recognition. The authors outline the origin, development, and unique features of the Metis lifestyle, trace the life of their leader, Louis Riel, and detail the legitimacy of Metis claims. …

They have forged ahead on a number of seemingly intractable fronts, including treaty negotiations, land claims, the terrible legacy of residential schools, economic development, and health and welfare. But much more work needs to be done if Aboriginal people are to achieve true equality with the rest of Canada. The key to maintaining this momentum lies, of course, in education.
