In each community he meets men and women who are accomplishing nothing less than the cultural and political rebirth of their people: from urban entrepreneurs to spiritual healers, from scholars to legal experts, from local chiefs on reserves to national political figures such as Elijah Harper and Ovide Mercredi.Into their trials and triumphs, Richardson weaves the "policy tentacles" they must content with: hostile laws and histroic prejudices inherited from the days when the legal fiction of terra nullius ("empty land") was use dot justify seizure of native territory. But Richardson demonstrates that Canada's aboriginal people refuse to be victims and are already regaining control over their lives.
