The Blackfoot confederacy 1880-1920 : a comparative study of Canadian and U.S. Indian policy / Hana Samek.

Samek, Hana (Author).

Summary:

Hana Samek focuses on a period when American fascination with Canadian Indian policy was at its peak, an era in which a myth developed on both sides of the border that Canada's experience in Indian affairs was a success. The Indian policy of both countries aimed at assimilating the native population and making it self-supporting. But each government failed in large part because administrators in both countries cut expenditures for services to Indians without understanding that long-term, massive outlays would be necessary to make Indians self-supporting.
