"Canadian tend to greet disruptions between Natives and non-Natives with incomprehension. Many politicians, journalists, and ordinary citizens understand neither how not why the crisis of the moment has arisen. In `Lethal Legacy', J.R. Miller shows how a historical understanding of public policy affecting Canadian Natives can explain current problems and point the way to rational solutions". -- back cover.
