First Nations 101: 2nd Edition
Lynda Gray
First Nations 101: the updated and expanded second edition, provides a broad overview of the day-to-day lives of Indigenous people, traditional Indigenous communities, colonial interventions used in an attempt to assimilate Indigenous people into mainstream society, and the impacts those interventions had on Indigenous families and communities, and how Indigenous people are working towards holistic health and wellness today.
Author Lynda Gray’s accessible writing style makes First Nations 101 the perfect primer for all to read. She notes that although governments may encourage and fund reconciliation activities, true reconciliation can only happen through the ongoing commitment and consistent actions of individuals, groups, organizations, governments, and businesses. It is the perfect class textbook, training resource, book club text, gift, and informative guide for readers of all ages and walks of life.
