A timely sequel to the bestselling 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act—and an invaluable guide for anyone seeking to work more effectively with Indigenous Peoples.

We are all treaty people. But what are the everyday impacts of treaties, and how can we effectively work toward reconciliation if we’re worried our words and actions will unintentionally cause harm?

Hereditary chief and leading Indigenous relations trainer Bob Joseph is your guide to respecting cultural differences and improving your personal relationships and business interactions with Indigenous Peoples. Practical and inclusive, Indigenous Relations interprets the difference between hereditary and elected leadership, and why it matters; explains the intricacies of Aboriginal Rights and Title, and the treaty process; and demonstrates the lasting impact of the Indian Act, including the barriers that Indigenous communities face and the truth behind common myths and stereotypes perpetuated since Confederation.

Indigenous Relations equips you with the necessary knowledge to respectfully avoid missteps in your work and daily life, and offers an eight-part process to help business and government work more effectively with Indigenous Peoples—benefitting workplace culture as well as the bottom line. Indigenous Relations is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to improve their cultural competency and undo the legacy of the Indian Act.

Reviews

“This book will be vitally useful to those seeking to partner with Indigenous Peoples and for allies joining the battle for Indigenous rights or indeed, anyone from outside Indigenous cultures and communities who wishes to be better informed about Indigenous relations. The Josephs’ steady supply of practical examples illustrate with humour and patience the most common pitfalls non-Indigenous people are guilty of, and steer us towards reconciliation, respect and understanding in extremely practical, constructive ways. An absolute must-read, Indigenous Relations is a timely trailblazer, an insightful and invaluable guidebook—the quintessential road map—for anyone and everyone interested in crushing barriers and conducting respectful business and personal relationships with Indigenous Peoples, finally making reconciliation a reality.” —Canadian Authors Association Fred Kerner Book Award citation Expand reviews
