Hopi Social History Anthropological Perspectives on Sociocultural Persistence and Change Book

It took me a while to finish this book (started it over a year before I finished it). It is not that it is badly written; it is actually quite packed tight with information and goes thoroughly through the history of Canada. Not having a breadth of knowledge on Canadian history, it was laborious at times for me to take it all in so-to-speak. With that said and barring the fact that I have read no other histories on Canada, this book was quite informative and made me appreciate our northern neighbors and their path as respects their approach to the government of our shared "mother" country. One thing is for certain if Brown is indeed accurate in his depiction of Canadian relations with first nations peoples: while the Canadian record is not spotless, it would appear that their overall record is better than that found in the United States. At any rate, if you want a thorough introduction to Canadian history read this book; or, read a less-thorough survey of Canadian history first and then read this one to fill in the details.
