About the Author: As the son of George Manuel, who served as president of
the National Indian Brotherhood and founded the World Council of
Indigenous Peoples in the 1970s, Arthur Manuel was born into the struggle.
>From his unique and personal perspective, as a Secwepemc leader and an
Indigenous activist who has played a prominent role on the international
stage, Arthur Manuel describes the victories and failures, the hopes and
the fears of a generation of activists fighting for Aboriginal title and
rights in Canada.

“This is the back story of both grassroots and backroom struggles that
created the context in which we find ourselves today, one in which a new
generation of First Nations leaders is demanding sovereignty and
self-determination, and more and more non-Indigenous Canadians finally
understand that huge swaths of this country we call Canada is not ours—or
our government’s—to sell.”

– Naomi Klein, from the Foreword
