Reviews

This book is a factum on Nisga'a tribal history in respect of tribal boundaries in the watershed of the Nass River. It is a powerful statement of Nisga'a history on the one hand and a cogent review of political and legal aspects of the Nisga'a tribal claim on the other. ? the side effect of such research is the great legacy of excellent scholarship, of which this book is an exemplary example. -- Canadian Historical Review The book is filled with appealing maps, labeled with both native and English names, and contains supporting statements from inland nations. It is too bad that arduous attention to detail and such a convincing historical overview have failed repeatedly to convince the provincial legal mind. -- Jay Miller, Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Winter 1999/2000
