Review: "The history of indigenous political action in Canada is long, hard-fought, and little told. By the mid-1900s, Native peoples across western Canada were actively involved in their own political unions in a drive to be heard outside their own, often isolated, reserve communities. In Alberta, Johnny Callihoo and Metis leader Malcolm Norris founded the Indian Association of Alberta (IAA), which came to represent a large body of treaty Indian peoples across the province."--BOOK JACKET.
