Description

"Let us share with you our dream for First Nations peoples. It is a dream about the collective rights most Canadians take for granted-about rights and responsibilities we cherish for ourselves. We dream about a Canada in which our inherent right to govern ourselves is acknowledged. About a time when we can use our own political judgment, our own free will to shape our destinies and control our own affairs. We dream about healthy communities where children will be proud to say they are First show more Nations peoples."-- Back cover. show less
