The terrible summer / Richard Wagamese.

Wagamese, Richard, (author.).

Summary:

In the space of three months in the summer of 1990 the Native Rights movement in Canada was transformed completely. In June of that year a Native member of the Manitoba Legislature, Elijah Harper, shrewdly manipulated the rules of that body to effectively kill the Meech Lake constitutional accord because its provisions for entrenching Native self-determination were insufficient. In doing so, Harper effectively thwarted the desire of Canada's mainstream politicial elites. He also precipitated a constitutional crisis that continues to this day.
