Missouri, and Pennsylvania. With an uncanny ability to form alliances with others, they developed a well-deserved reputation for being loyal friends and formidable foes.

a biological explanation of why men and women make different career choices, proposing that hormones are a determining factor.

steps that are needed to place this relationship on a healthy and honourable footing. They show how governments are attempting to reconcile with Indigenous Peoples without touching the basic colonial structures that dominate and distort the relationship.

They document the federal government's disregard for the substance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while claiming to implement it. This will appeal to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are open and willing to look at the real problems and find real solutions.
