Severing the Ties that Bind : Government Repression of Indigenous Religious Ceremonies on the Prairies - Pettipas, Katherine

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; otherwise very minimal wear; "Beginning in 1885,, the Department of Indian Affairs implemented a series of amendments to the Canadian Indian Act designed to eliminate traditional forms of religious expression and customs.  Pettipas views the amendments as part of official support for the destruction of indigenous cultural systems. She presents a critical analysis of the administrative policies and considers the effects of government suppression on the whole spectrum of Aboriginal life.
