Abstract
"This compelling work provides a window into the Crees' many arguments concerning their status and rights in the context of the possible disintegration of Canada. It also offers a devastating critique of Québecois separatist political myths and double standards. It draws extensively from the speeches and writing of Cree leaders, such as Grand Chief Matthew Coon Come; from the views of many separatist and federalist analysts; and also from Sovereign Injustice, the Grand Council's recent 500-page legal study on Cree rights."-- Back cover.
