Synopsis

A famous statement about Canada is that it resembles a vertical mosaic, where according to socio-economic criteria the various ethnic groups can be seen as placed in a hierarchical order (Porter 1965). At the bottom of this order are the native peoples, the Indians, the Métis (descendants from unions between Indians and whites), and the Inuit (Eskimos). This book deals with one particular issue concerning the Indians, the continued existence of the impoverished, all-Indian rural reserve communities. Why, for instance, have not the Indians become part of the Suburbia?
