Aboriginal well-being : Canada's continuing challenge

Beavon, Daniel J. K. (Added Author). Spence, Nicholas. (Added Author). White, Jerry, 1951- (Added Author).

Summary: "On June 29, 2007, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) organized a National Day of Action. This one-day event was part of a broader strategy of the AFN, launched in the fall of 2006 to create awareness of First Nations issues; more specifically, it was a call for action against poverty. This book deals with this same issue, not from an advocacy or political viewpoint, but from an empirical and scientific perspective.
