Circles of time aboriginal land rights and resistance in Ontario

McNab, David 1947- (Author).

Summary: "Circles of Time documents the experiences of Aboriginal people, their history and recent negotiations in Ontario, and provides insight into the historiography of the treaty-making process, particularly in the last quarter century. Controversial decisions such as the Temagami case and Oka are detailed, and McNab, who draws on archival sources that support oral history, provides a new perspective on land claims issues."--BOOK JACKET.
