""Calling for a return to Indigenous self-government, Joseph offers a clear-eyed consideration of the impact, over decades, of Canada's Indian Act . . . This is a vital contribution to the ongoing conversation about First Nations governance in Canada."" --Editor's Pick, Booklife Reviews ""A persuasively argued case for dismantling a destructive policy."" --Kirkus Reviews ""In this book, Bob Joseph once again captures the facts and importance of Indigenous Peoples rights to self-government. He outlines why it is imperative that all Canadians understand that when Indigenous Peoples reclaim their rightful place in decision-making and self-determination, all Canadians will benefit from a more just and inclusive Canada."" --Nancy C. Southern, chair and chief executive officer, ATCO ""Bob Joseph's new book is indispensable for all Canadians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike, entering into a conversation about alternatives to the Indian Act."" --Bruce McIvor, author of Indigenous Rights in One Minute: What You Need to Know to Talk Reconciliation ""Bob Joseph has done it again. Shifting focus from the oppressive federal Indian Act, he provides an effective analysis of the tools that will support Canada's commitment to reconciliation--self-government. Joseph has a remarkable ability to distill historic and complex legal issues into an impactful narrative that will resonate with the reader. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand where Indigenous communities are planning to go."" --Clint Davis, CEO, Cedar Leaf Capital Inc.
