'The Indians of Canada are not alike.

They resemble their movie image even less. When Christopher Columbus mistook North America for India and called the inhabitants Indians, he made an error still not corrected almost five hundred years later. The people whose ancestors have lived on this continent for tens of thousands of years belong to eleven different language groups. ........This book attempts a brief glimpse into the ever changing living patterns of Indians in Canada. It is a book written by Indians - men and women who are called Indians but think of themselves as Sioux or Salish, Ojibway or Delaware, Abnakis or Assiniboine. ...They speak of a world of wars and treaties, honour and treachery, feasts and hunger. They write about people who laugh and people who cry; people to be proud of; teachers to learn from; leaders to follow and heroes to love...' - loosely take from the Introduction.
