Indigenous Relations is a follow-up book to 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act, sort of a "now that you know, what can you do about it" type of book.

While slightly corporate-based, the tips and suggestions found in this book can be used in any interaction with Indigenous people as a way to truly show your willingness to move towards reconciliation.

Bob and Cynthia have created an entire course on this subject called "RESPECT: A Path Toward Working Effectively with Indigenous Peoples" and they have included in the book a detailed account of what is covered in that course.

As with the first book, Indigenous Relations is well written and easy to read with just the right balance of background information and future-use direction.

These two books have provided an excellent foundation to my goal at learning more about Indigenous people and how I can be actively involved in the acts of reconciliation.
