1975
From: Brotherhood to Nationhood
$1.80
Chapter fourteen of George Manuel’s biography covers the organizing of the Indigenous peoples conference held in Copenhagen in 1975, resulting in the founding of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. He also continues to engage on issues of land claims and education reform through his work with the National Indian Brotherhood. The chapter traces the increasingly radical atmosphere of Indian political organizing at the time, with a focus on youth activists, including George’s sons Bob and Arthur. The chapter concludes when Manuel has a heart attack.
