INDIGENOUS SERVICES
AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING INDIGENOUS RIGHTS
This is the story of how a unique set of collective rights made it into Canada's constitution.


About the Book
Indigenous and treaty rights are the basis of Canada itself. They are integral to its collective history, culture and laws. And the nation as we know it could not exist without them.

Yet, few people understand what these rights are or why they are protected in Canada’s constitution. Nor the role each citizen plays in protecting and upholding them.

An Introductory Guide to Understanding Indigenous Rights peels back the layers on more than 300 years of treaty history to begin answering those questions.

This thoroughly researched and eye-opening history reveals how Canada came to be. The promises made and broken with Indigenous nations. Attempts made to begin much needed reconciliation — and the necessary path to finally realize it.

Essential reading for Canadians from all backgrounds, professions and industries, this landmark saga offers a first step in a long and complex journey. By laying the groundwork for a more accurate and collective understanding of historical events, it opens the door for continued dialog and a more productive path forward.
