We will analyze policy foundations and implementations as well as impacts on and responses from Indigenous communities. We will do this by focusing on the conflicts and cooperation among various federal officials as the policy shifted over time, and conflicts and cooperation between Indigenous communities’ leaders and federal policy makers in order to develop an understanding of its meaning for the 21st century.
