Highlights #1 National BestsellerBased on a viral article, 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous Peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer. Author(s): Bob Joseph 200 Pages History, Canada Description About the Book The essential guide to understanding the Indian Act and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer. Bob Joseph dissects the complex issues and clearly demonstrates why learning about the Indian Act's cruel, enduring legacy is essential for moving toward true reconciliation. Book Synopsis #1 National Bestseller Based on a viral article, 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is the essential guide to understanding the legal document and its repercussion on generations of Indigenous Peoples, written by a leading cultural sensitivity trainer. Since its creation in 1876, the Indian Act has shaped, controlled, and constrained the lives and opportunities of Indigenous Peoples, and is at the root of many enduring stereotypes. Bob Joseph's book comes at a key time in the reconciliation process, when awareness from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is at a crescendo. Joseph explains how Indigenous Peoples can step out from under the Indian Act and return to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance--and why doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian. He dissects the complex issues around truth and reconciliation, and clearly demonstrates why learning about the Indian Act's cruel, enduring legacy is essential for the country to move toward true reconciliation. Review Quotes Winner of the Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award "From declaring cultural ceremonies illegal, to prohibiting pool hall owners from granting Indigenous Peoples entrance, from forbidding the speaking of Indigenous languages, to the devastating policy that created residential schools, Bob Joseph reveals the hold this paternalistic act, with its roots in the 1800s, still has on the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada in the twenty-first century. This straightforward book is an invaluable resource. There is much for non-Indigenous people to learn and to do. But equally important, there is much to unlearn and to undo. The time is right for this book." - Shelagh Rogers, O.C., Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Honorary Witness "Increasing Canadians' knowledge about the terrible foundation this country has been built on is a critical part of reconciliation. Bob Joseph has highlighted some of the unbelievable provisions of the Indian Act and how they have impacted First Nations in Canada, and gives a brief overview of what we may replace it with going forward. His book provides helpful context to the dialogue that needs to take place in Canada." - Kim Baird, O.C., O.B.C.; Owner, Kim Baird Strategic Consulting; Member of the Tsawwassen First Nation and Negotiator of the Tsawwassen First Nation Treaty "Bob Joseph's ability to navigate the complex history of the Indian Act is a wonder to behold. He provides depth and knowledge for Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars alike. His articulate, insightful and comprehensive analysis on the history of the Indian Act provides a sound understanding of the present narrative of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. This book provides an excellent analysis of the ongoing relationship and predicament between provincial and federal governments and Indigenous Peoples in the twenty-first century." - JP Gladu, President and CEO, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business "In his slim but powerful new book 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act, Joseph documents the harsh discrimination, controls, humiliations, political dysfunctions and 'catch-22s' successive Canadian governments have imposed on Indigenous peoples for the purpose of subjugating and assimilating them. . . . Joseph makes this difficult history quite accessible, methodically describing these and other human rights violations in a highly readable prose over a brief 160 pages." - Winnipeg Free Press "In this time of reconciliation, a book like this becomes a much-needed guide to understanding the past and what we need to do to create a better future." - Vancouver Sun "This pocket-size primer is a perfect introduction to a troubling legacy with which Canadians continue to wrestle." - Publishers Weekly "Joseph provides a path to move forward that requires partnership between an educated settler population and Indigenous people." - The Tyee though they killed us we live they put us down yet we stand they deny but there is truth guujaaw

Highlights The Federalist, by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, constitutes a text central to the American political tradition. Author(s): Alexander Hamilton & John Jay 652 Pages Freedom + Security / Law Enforcement, Constitutional Description Book Synopsis The Federalist, by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, constitutes a text central to the American political tradition. Written and published in newspapers in 1787 and 1788 to explain and promote ratification of the proposed Constitution for the United States, which were then bound by the Articles of Confederation, The Federalist remains of singular importance to students of liberty around the world. George W. Carey was Professor of Government at Georgetown University and editor of The Political Science Reviewer. James McClellan (1937-2005) was James Bryce Visiting Fellow in American Studies at the Institute of United States Studies, University of London. Review Quotes The Federalist was first gathered in book form with the cooperation of Hamilton and Jay in the "McLean" edition in 1810. James Madison responded to that edition with numerous corrections. Those corrections were incorporated into the "Gideon" edition in 1818. A beautiful edition of the Gideon version was recently published by Liberty Fund, edited by George W. Carey and James McClellan. This is a particularly handsome publication and modestly priced. Every American should read The Federalist, and this would be a good choice for that pleasure. We recommend this edition. The Appellate Practice Journal Summer 2003 For many Americans, the Federalist Papers, or The Federalist, as it was known at the time they were first collected and published together in early nineteenth century by Jacob Gideon, have been indispensable to our understanding of the Constitution. Two-hundred-sixteen years after they first ran in several New York newspapers in an effort to consolidate support for the ratification of the new document, they are today still required reading in high school and college history and politics courses, and they are often cited by judges, including the justices of the Supreme Court, to highlight and give firm rationale to their findings. . . .The Papers indeed have never lost their currency, and time will show that they probably never will. For many historians and observers, they are America's first great work of political theory. And for several of our contemporary commentators, their greatness has never been surpassed. Thomas Jefferson called them "the best commentary on the principles of government which ever was written," and twentieth-century commentator, Clinton Rossiter, declared that The Federalist comprise "the one product of the American mind that is rightly counted among the classics of political theory." Over the years, students of the American founding have had several editions of the Papers to choose from. . . .the new Liberty Fund edition matches or surpasses its predecessors. . . .The editors provide several features essential to readers. First, they have included a lucid, fact-filled historical introduction with source material that underscores and demonstrates their clear argument and sets the Papers in their historical context. . . .Second, they have also provided a wonderfully crafted and brief "reader's guide." This is one of the most useful and welcomed additions. I, for one, know of no other edition that is so helpful, especially to the novitiate first approaching these texts. Third, the edition reprints several important documents, not the least of which are the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution itself (the latter includes a tediously undertaken, highly valuable cross-reference guide to the Papers). But there are many more as well. And finally, an extremely thoughtful, detailed glossary of names, facts, and concepts rounds out the tail end of the work. . . .Carey and McClellan's Liberty Fund edition, with its excellent commentary and appendices, is a wonderful development from the many that preceded it. It ought to become the standard edition for generations to come. The East-Central Intelligencer September 2004
