Book synopsis

In 1899 the Canadian government passed legislation to replace the community appointment of Mi'kmaw leaders and Mi'kmaw political practices with the triennial system, a Euro-Canadian system of democratic band council elections. This book supports Aboriginal claims to self-governance and complicates understandings of state power.
