Scott, an Indian Affairs bureaucrat, engaged in promoting a policy of white paternalism and inspired the militancy of Native peoples today. Treaty 9 was negotiated by Scott in northwestern Ontario in 1905 and 1906, epitomizing the misguided efforts of well-meaning men. In this book, Dragland studies the contradictions in Scott's life and his Indian Affairs work (and his own values and assumptions). Book is in AS NEW condition
