"The Lubicon Lake Nation strives, through a critique of historically constructed colonial images, to analyse the Canadian government's actions vis-a-vis the rights of the Lubicon people. In this ambitious work Dawn Martin-Hill illustrates the power of Indigenous knowledge by contrasting the words, ideas, and self-conceptualizations of the Lubicon with official versions of Lubicon history as documented by the state. In doing so, she offers a genuine sense of the gravity of their lived experiences as a cultural minority. By giving voice to the Lubicon, this study seeks to develop an exclusively Indigenist framework in which the circumstances facing the people can be described more accurately than they can using popular conceptions of Native rights as put forth by the government."--Jacket.
