Privatization, governance, language preservation, museums, public policy, and official knowledge are some of the topics the book tackles. Written by a range of seasoned and emerging scholars, First Nations, First Thoughts is organized into five subject areas (each containing two or three papers): challenging dominant discourses; oral histories; cultural representation; governance; and political self-determination. The title is a clever response to Thomas Flanagan's First Nations? Second Thoughts (2000). One of the articles rebuts the content of this infamous, rather anti-Indigenous-sovereignty book. Because Flanagan is consulted on issues of public policy by conservative-leaning governments, Indigenous peoples believe it important to counter his proposals. Throughout the book notions such as reclaim, revision, return, reconstitute, and resist come to mind. Text First Nations University of Nebraska-Lincoln: DigitalCommons@UNL Canada |
