Description

Scholars often accept without question that Canada’s Indian Act (1876) criminalized First Nations. In this illuminating book, Shelley Gavigan argues that the notion of criminalization captures neither the complexities of Aboriginal participation in the courts nor the significance of the Indian Act as a form of law. “Hunger, Horses, and Government Men” takes the study of criminal law and criminalization in a new direction.
