This controversial book retells the history of the subjugation and ongoing economic marginalization of Canada's indigenous peoples, both in the past and now. Its authors demonstrate the ways in which successive Canadian governments have combined accounting techniques and economic rationalizations with bureaucratic mechanisms to deprive native peoples of their land and natural resources, and to control the minutiae of their daily economic and social lives.
