foxreadsbooks's review against another edition
This was a great follow up to 21 Things you may not know about the Indian Act, also by Bob Joseph. While I wasn't the intended audience of this (mostly aimed at business relations, though it does also deal with individual reconciliation), this still provided a lot of helpful tips, and reinforced important history and terminology Joseph addressed in his first text. If you are in any kind of business, this is a must read. I would, however, begin with 21 Things you may not know about the Indian Act.

I love all of Bob Joseph’s books. This one is more geared towards businesses and governments looking to work respectfully and effectively with Indigenous peoples, but I still had some great takeaways from it.

WARNING - SENSITIVE REVIEW
I really enjoyed this book because it helped me open up my eyes. I grew up in a white, privilege home. I grew up that when we drove downtown Winnipeg, we were told to lock our vehicle doors immediately. I grew up fearing the Indigenous! I grew up being prejudice towards Indigenous Peoples. This book is just the start of my personal side of reconciliation. This book is intended more for workplace/professional reconciliation. I didn't know that when I purchased this book.

This book has a lot of great information that I think is important for all Canadians to learn about. However, half of the book is aimed mostly at businesses and organizations for consultations and tips on working together with First Nations - so it might not be applicable everyone.

More of a business perspective than I needed but a very helpful read.

More business related, for individuals looking to learn more about reconciliation I'd recommend Joseph's other book, 21 Things You Didn't Know About the Indian Act
Overall, this was very informative and quite an easy read, making it very accessible.
