In this chapter, Palmer examines how colonial policies divided Indigenous communities and violated their treaty rights. He describes key early Red Power protests. He highlights legal challenges faced by Indigenous women demanding equal reserve membership and official recognition, and also how labour solidarity efforts united West Coast fishing workers with First Nations sovereignty campaigns.
