About the Book

Visions of the Heart is a contributed volume that offers a rich, in-depth study of contemporary issues involving Aboriginal peoples in Canada. This thought-provoking collection brings together leading Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars from across the country to explore the relationships between First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and other Canadians throughout the country's history to the present day. Extensively updated throughout, with new essays on identity, the environment, gender, art, and criminal justice, the fourth edition is an indispensable resource for students wanting to understand the current scope of Aboriginal issues in Canada today.
