An extremely enlightening and important read - and only the tip of the iceberg as it were.
While I was familiar with some of the concepts presented in this slim volume, it's never a waste of time to revisit these concepts and expand on others.
I appreciated the accessible and introductory-to-moderate level of detail Joseph covered for each of the 21 selected pieces of the Indian Act. The following sections on replacing the legislation (potential options) and next steps with reconciliation were appreciated but altogether too short for me personally.
