He compares it to that of the United States, where, for over 150 years, tribes have practised self-government -- domestic dependent nationhood. Russell provides specific examples of how those institutions of government operate, and eloquently explains, from an Aboriginal perspective, what his people hope to achieve through self-governing authority. After describing rights theory, Russell locates Aboriginal self-government as a cultural right, and illustrates how the entitlements of Aboriginal women, an Aboriginal ethic, and collective rights, which are protected by self-governance, may conflict with the Canadian Charter of Rights. A People's Dream is a persuasive examination of how treaty-making in Canada, in particular the 1998 Nisga'a Treaty, has been used as a tool for achieving self-government, but why this approach should be avoided. As well, Russell examines recommendations by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and provides an enlightening comparison of those recommendations with the terms of the 1992 Charlottetown Accord. 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xPolitics and government 606 $aIndians of North America$zCanada$xGovernment relations 606 $aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 615 0$aIndians of North America$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a323.1/197071 700 $aRussell$b Dan$f1950-$01512889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782064603321 996 $aA people's dream$93747080 997 $aUNINA
