Description: A collection of thirty-five essays and stories, Justice for Natives came together around the Oka crisis between native people in Quebec and the government. Against the backdrop of this deep-rooted conflict, Native elders and leaders, provincial and federal government representatives, leading academics, lawyers, and judges from across Canada and the United States joined to explore various aspects of Native peoples' struggle for justice and to search for solutions.
