Dene Nation : an analysis / a report to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples by Antoine Mountain & Susan Quirk.: Z1-1991/1-41-158E-PDF

"This report presents both a selected chronological and an analytical history of an Aboriginal organization: the Indian Brotherhood of the Northwest Territories, later renamed as the Dene Nation. This Canadian Aboriginal organization, like many others, was formed because some of their people who were able to assess what was happening felt that their people were being deliberately and systematically marginalised not only from Canadian mainstream society but from Aboriginal peoples in the provinces. The activities, scope, and effectiveness of this Dene organization are important reflections on the efforts Northern Aboriginal peoples have made to resist adverse public administrative aspects, to communicate their views as widely as possible, and to advocate their own remedies to begin addressing matters of significance to them rather than those defined by outsiders. An analysis of this organization, through interpretations drawing on Dene views, can provide much insight for similar aboriginal associations, as for non-Aboriginal Canadians wondering about the ascendancy of organizations that have captured and held public attention for the past two dozen years in ways they did not before"--About this report, p. 1.
