Don’t Let Them Bully You
A Business Interlude
From: Unsettling Canada
$1.60
Don’t Let them Bully You explores Manuel’s own reaction to the stagnation of the Indigenous people’s movement in Canada in the 1980’s, which happened despite the success of the Constitution Express in changing the proposed Canadian Constitution of 1982. The chapter explores the influence of Mulroney’s neoliberal reforms, the National Indian Brotherhood’s reorganization into the Assembly of First Nations, and Manuel’s own experience returning to Neskonlith in the early 1980’s, after which he opened a gas station and convenience store.
