Aboriginal peoples and politics : the Indian land question in British Columbia, 1849-1989 / Paul Tennant.

Tennant, Paul, 1938- (Author).

Summary:

"This book presents the first comprehensive treatment of the land question in BC, as well as the first examination of the modern political history of aboriginal peoples in the province. Paul Tennant shows that the Indians of BC began their land claims at the start of white settlement and persevered despite the massive efforts of missionaries and government officals to suppress Indian culture and despite Parliament's outlawing of claim-related activities."
