Making Native space : colonialism, resistance, and reserves in British Columbia
Cole Harris analyses the impact of reserves on Native lives and livelihoods and considers how, in the light of this, the Native land question might be resolved. The account begins in the colonial office in the 1830s and then follows Native land policy to the formal transfer of reserves in 1938
