Indigenous Relations builds on this foundation to provide essential information about conducting business and personal interactions with Indigenous people.
- Offers practical, accessible understanding to complex, oft-ask questions: Joseph provides insight into the difference between hereditary and elected leadership (and why it matters); the treaty process and Aboriginal Rights and Title; and the effect of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in Canada.
- Popular, charismatic media personality: Joseph is eloquent and thoughtful, and a regular guest on popular national programs. He offers insightful commentary about both key issues at the heart of Canadian identity—and current affairs.
- Timely discussion of Indigenous worldviews: Understanding Indigenous values, philosophy and customs is essential in understanding why some worldviews clash with Euro-centric views and cultures. Only through this comprehension—and the comparison of the two—can we begin to explore some of the most complex political debates of our time.
