By the mid-1900s, Native peoples across western Canada were actively involved in their own political unions in a drive to be heard outside their own, often isolated, reserve communities. In Alberta, the Indian Association of Alberta (IAA) represented the interests of Alberta's reserve communities. Perhaps best known for its role in spearheading the protest against the 1969 White Paper produced by the Department of Indian Affairs, the IAA, founded in 1939, allowed Native peoples access to politics at the provincial level. Its rich history reveals much about First Nations' perspectives on the place of Indian peoples in Canada before the emergence of civil rights movements and large-scale federal funding of Native organizations. This book, which outlines the significance of treaty rights discussions before their constitutional entrenchment and documents the political philosophies of First Nations leaders in the prairie provinces, will be welcomed by those with an interest in Native studies, political science, and Canadian history. 606 $aIndians of North America$zAlberta$xPolitics and government$9Heading retained by George Brown College library for historical purposes 606 $aNative peoples$zAlberta$xPolitics and government 606 $aNative peoples$zCanada$xGovernment relations 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zNorth America$zAlberta$xPolitics and government$2OTGB 607 $aAlberta$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aIndians of North America$xPolitics and government. 615 5$aNative peoples$xPolitics and government. 615 5$aNative peoples$xGovernment relations. 615 7$aIndigenous peoples$xPolitics and government. 676 $a971.23/00497 700 $aMeijer Drees$b Laurie$f1965-$01719912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bOTGB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953326203321 996 $aThe Indian Association of Alberta$94394395 997 $aUNINA
