Summary:
"Philosophy and Aboriginal Rights: Critical Dialogues is suited to students studying in the upper-level years of Native studies and Aboriginal studies programs in universities across Canada. In particular, courses focused on Aboriginal governance and self-governance, Aboriginal philosophy, and, even more generally, Aboriginal peoples of Canada, will be the best fit for this volume. In addition, given the text's broad focus - bringing both Indigenous and Western philosophies to bear on the topics of Aboriginal rights, sovereignty, policy, and treaties - it will find a home in courses specific to Canadian Aboriginal issues in philosophy, history, political science, and law departments"--Publisher's description.
