Description

The two volumes comprising Indian Education in Canada present the first full-length discussion of this important subject since the adoption in 1972 of a new federal policy moving toward Indian control of Indian education. Volume 1 analyzes the education of Indian children by whites since the arrival of the first Europeans in Canada. Volume 2 is concerned with the wide-ranging changes that have taken place since 1972.

Editorial Review

Much of the material is original and does offer insight into an area of study about which relatively little has been published. The content is useful both in its own right and as a frame of reference for recent developments in Indian Education.
