If anyone is interested in learning more about contemporary Indigenous issues in Canada (from a "Canadian" point of view) I can recommend a few good places to start:
I'd recommend reading both of John Ralston Saul's books on the subject: "A Fair Country"[1], and "The Comeback"[2].
A couple weeks ago I posted "Title Fight"[3] by Arno Kopecky, which is a fascinating read, and an excellent intro to "Aboriginal Title Land".
Maclean's Magazine also published a great article on Canada's deep/pervasive "Race Problem", I'd recommend reading this first.[4]
