Re-reading Bob Joseph's "21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act" (2018), has been a
moving and daunting experience for me. And I feel inadequate to write in detail about what Mr. Joseph
has so eloquently stated in this prose. I highly recommend you read the book for yourself. It is easy to
follow and very succinctly identifies key points.
The legacy of the Indian Act is still with us. And it is
something that must be addressed more readily in an effort to provide equality for all people, especially
those who are of Indigenous descent.
Canadians are proud of being seen as kind and generous. This is an
area that needs to be applied to the legacy of the Indian Act.
In chapter 6, Mr. Joseph addresses Self-Government, Community Healing and Reconciliation.
