Queen's people : a study of hegemony, coercion, and accommodation among the Okanagan of Canada

Carstens, Peter. (Author).

Summary: The result of a long personal association and extensive field and archival research, this study of a small community in Canada is concerned with three closely related themes: the historical processes whereby the Okanagan Indians of British Columbia came to live on reserves; social life in a reserve community at the present time with reference also to relations with the outside world; and the complex effects these historical processes and confinement to a reserve have had on the lives of the Okanagan people in general.
