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.

The Gwawaenuk is one of the many Kwakwaka’wakw tribes located between Comox and Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland of British Columbia. He comes from a proud potlatch family and is an initiated member of the Hamatsa Society. As the son of a hereditary chief, he will one day, in accordance with strict cultural laws, become a hereditary chief.

Lanthier has organized the trails into ten categories and chosen her five favourites in each.
Want to know where the best waterfalls, towers, or accessible trails are? How about which trails are best for birders, geocaching, or hiking with your dog? Curious about where you can catch a spectacular sunrise? Or maybe you'd like to know where the nearest cozy coffee shop is located post-hike? Best Hikes offers the best scoop about hiking trails in the Ottawa region.
With extensive reports for each trail, you can pick your perfect hike. Two hours out and back or a twenty-minute loop? A challenging elevation or a marshland boardwalk? A vista or a beach as your destination?
Each trail report is accompanied by a map and a table of information that includes length, elevation, seasons, hours of operation, accessibility, services, and amenities. The maps also include a QR code that will take you to the trail manager’s site if you wish further information.
