Reservations are for Indians
by Heather Robertson
Offering a sympathetic but detached portrait of Canada's native people, <i>Reservations are for Indians</i> has become a classic.
Combining the skills of a novelist with those of an accomplished journalist, Heather Robertson captures the vicious circle of dependence created by government policies which ensnares aboriginal Canadians. Her account combines a description of life in four reserve communities with a history of government policies and programmes, describing the circumstances which yielded a generation of native leaders who demand a new place in Canada's political and constitutional structure.
