Condition: Near Fine. Brush Education, 2004. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7þ - 9þ" tall. A clean, tight and unmarked copy- " The Metis people of Canada experienced a coming of age in 2003, when they gained the legal right to be recognized as Aboriginal people by the Supreme Court of Canada. Legislation notwithstanding, Canada's Metis people still face struggles on a number of fronts.
