Reviews
Ken Coates, co-author of From Treaty Peoples to Treaty Nation: A Road Map for All Canadians:
Canadians still do not understand the need for real and transformative justice in dealing with Indigenous claims and disputes. In this thoughtful and provocative work on the Indian Claims Commission, Jane Dickson combines an insider’s perspective on the work of the ICC with a legal scholar’s understanding of what is possible and necessary. Canada can do better. Dickson provides a road map to legal reconciliation.

Sákéj Henderson, research fellow, Native Law Centre of Canada, University of Saskatchewan:
Jane Dickson’s remarkable book is a case study of administrative evil masquerading as rule of law. It reveals how the same consciousness that unleashed systemic injustices in the federal administration for Indians in the past has persisted and controlled the specific claims process that was intended to resolve broken treaty promises – once again fading First Nations hopes for justice in Canada.
