«Cette force qui nous fait voir un idéal, et qui pousse toutes les énergies d’un être vers la poursuite de cet idéal».

Ainsi parlait en 1952 un pionnier de la radio française, Mgr Maurice Baudoux inaugurant le poste CFNS de Saskatoon, l’autre étant CFRG Gravelbourg, postes conçus, demandés, arrachés au pouvoir politique, payés à coup de souscriptions et de quêtes, finalement ouverts trente ans après les premiers essais de ce nouveau medium dans l’Ouest canadien.

Trente ans pour faire admettre à une majorité rétive et parfois hostile que la voix et la musique sortant des hauts-parleurs avaient aussi le droit d’être entendues en français par les dizaines de millieurs de Canadiens-Français disséminés en Saskatchewan.

À une programmation locale enthousiaste mais artisanale vinrent s’ajouter plus tard des programmes de la Société d’état Radio-Canada, jusqu’au jour, en 1973, où les deux postes français furent rachetés.

Commence alors l’âge d’or de Radio-Canada Saskatchewan, poste régional à programmation complète, soutien de la société fransaskoise, initiateur de manifestations culturelles et artistiques. Au début de ce nouveau siècle, cet organisme évoque avec orgueil son passé, et pose les jalons de son avenir.

With so many places of historical and general interest in southern Alberta, any attempt to chronical all of them would result in a volume much larger than this and consequently more expensive. In keeping with our theme at Gopher Books of bringing history to you at reasonable prices, we were very selective in choosing these accounts.

Thomas Isaac highlights the most important aspects of Canadian law as it impacts on Aboriginal peoples and their relationship with the wider Canadian society. While covering important issues such as Aboriginal and treaty rights, constitutional issues, land claims, self-government, provincial and federal roles in dealing with Aboriginal peoples, the rights of the Métis, and the Indian Act, this book pays particular attention to the Crown’s duty to consult. In discussing the Crown’s duty to consult the author canvasses when and to whom the duty applies. He also highlights the role of governments in reconciling Aboriginal interests with the needs of Canadian society as a whole. The Supreme Court of Canada is clear that the objective of achieving reconciliation lies primarily with governments.

This is a law book, but it is designed for use by anyone needing to understand Aboriginal legal issues and is presented in a neutral way. All major Canadian cases dealing with Aboriginal law are discussed and analyzed in this volume. The author looks at the broad picture of trends that are developing in the law and the background to such trends. This edition of Aboriginal Law does not contain case or legislative excerpts, all of which are readily available on the internet.

Thomas Isaac is a partner with McCarthy Tétrault LLP in Vancouver, and leads the firm’s Aboriginal Law Group. He speaks extensively on Aboriginal issues across Canada, and is the author of many books and articles on Aboriginal Law, including Aboriginal and Treaty Rights in the Maritimes and three earlier editions of Aboriginal Law.
This book is national in scope, but it also canvasses the many regional situations that exist in Canada. The claims of First Nations peoples in BC, the unique situation of Maritime First Nations, land claim agreements in northern Canada, and the special place of the numbered treaties covering the Prairie provinces are considered and reviewed.

While this is a law book, it is written and designed for use by anyone interested in Aboriginal legal issues. Reviewers have described previous editions as "a welcome guide to the dynamic political and legal environment of the rapidly changing field of Aboriginal law in Canada" and "an excellent piece of work that will be of great benefit to nonlegal scholars as well as the general public." Legal practitioners have called it "a quick and easy to use summary of Aboriginal law."

Thomas Isaac is a nationally recognized authority in the area of Aboriginal law and the author of many books and articles, including two earlier editions of Aboriginal Law and Aboriginal and Treaty Rights in the Maritimes: The Marshall Decision and Beyond. He has advised provincial, territorial, municipal, and First Nations governments on Aboriginal issues, was chief treaty negotiator for the British Columbia government, and assistant deputy minister responsible for creating Nunavut for the Northwest Territories government. He holds bachelor and masters degrees in both political science and law. He practices law with McCarthy Tétrault LLP in Vancouver and is a member of the bars of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

All editions of this book have been used extensively in law, native studies, political science, history, and other courses at the university and college levels.
