Fifty Years in Indian Country
From: Canada Since 1960: A People's History
$2.20
This chapter will review Canadian Dimension’s coverage by decade in order to show the sweep of its coverage. This narrative also allows for showing the development of a distinctive consciousness around Aboriginal issues in the magazine. In general, early issues focused on Aboriginal poverty or militancy; slowly a growing awareness of the specificity of Aboriginal and treaty rights as issues sinks in, and eventually many around the magazine come to see Aboriginal politics as, rather than a sideshow, a central political struggle within Canada.
