Abstract
"A chronicle of Duncan Campbell Scott's career in the Department of Indian Affairs and an evaluation of the developments in native health, education, and welfare between 1880 and 1932. Not designed as a biography of Scott, the book assesses EuroCanadian thinking on aboriginal rights at the turn of the century. Includes a chapter on landclaims in British Columbia." - Viola
