Indians and Inuit now enjoy legal privileges that include the inherent right to self-government, collective property rights, immunity from taxation, hunting and fishing rights without legal limits, and free housing, education, and medical care. Underpinning these privileges is what Tom Flanagan describes as "aboriginal orthodoxy"--the belief that prior residence in North America is an entitlement to special treatment. Flanagan shows that this orthodoxy enriches a small elite of activists, politicians, administrators, and well-connected entrepreneurs, while bringing further misery to the very people it is supposed to help. Controversial and thought-provoking, First Nations? Second Thoughts dissects the prevailing ideology that determines public policy towards Canada's aboriginal peoples. Flanagan analyzes the developments of the last ten years, showing how a conflict of visions has led to a stalemate in aboriginal policy-making. He concludes that aboriginal success will be achieved not as the result of public policy changes in government but through the actions of the people themselves."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 5 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $x Government relations $y 1951- 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Government relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969761 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969825 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969875 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 776 08 $i Online version: $a Flanagan, Thomas, 1944- $t First nations?
