Operated by the same bureaucracy that was expanding health care opportunities for most Canadians, the 'Indian Hospitals' were underfunded, understaffed, overcrowded, and rife with coercion and medical experimentation. Established to keep the Aboriginal tuberculosis population isolated, they became a means of ensuring that other Canadians need not share access to modern hospitals with Aboriginal patients. Tracing the history of the system from its fragmentary origins to its gradual collapse, Maureen K. Lux describes the arbitrary and contradictory policies that governed the 'Indian Hospitals, ' the experiences of patients and staff, and the vital grassroots activism that pressed the federal government to acknowledge its treaty obligations. A disturbing look at the dark side of the liberal welfare state, Separate Beds reveals a history of racism and negligence in health care for Canada's First Nations that should never be forgotten."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Discrimination in medical care $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Indians, Treatment of $z Canada. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826051537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=244D7C7E6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
