Reviews

Essential reading for all those trying to understand the evolution of Indian administration in Canada ... does much to illuminate the themes of continuity and change within the Indian Affairs Department.
*Canadian Historical Review*

An important book ... puts the problems facing Canada's native population into better perspective. It should be required reading for all members of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
*Globe and Mail*

Titley has done Canadian scholarship a great service by opening up this area of scholarship to Canadian historians. It is indeed a fine book.
