CIP Post-secondary Reviewed by David Chadwick Volume 16 Number 6 1988 November This book is the third in an anthology series examining aboriginal issues. The seventeen papers by aboriginal leaders, politicians, government officials and scholars explore the growing relationship between provinces and reserves. The articles deal with the complex issues of Indian self-government, provincial jurisdiction, land claims and financial responsibility. Since 1969, the federal government has been attempting to cut back its role in delivering services on reserves and to shift responsibility for Indian services to the provinces. Since World War II, provincial policies, laws and regulations have increasingly affected development on the reserves. The provinces, meanwhile, have tried to separate jurisdictional authority from financial responsibility. This collection is an excellent reference tool for anyone interested in the role provincial governments play in the future of native people. Indian people by necessity arc developing strategies to ensure that they are no longer excluded from the decisions that affect their lives. This book will assist in that goal.
