  From the bestselling author of 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act comes a powerful new book on dismantling the Indian Act and advancing Indigenous self-governance.Bob Joseph’s 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of Canadians by shining a light on the Indian Act and the problems associated with it. In that book, readers learned that the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876 has controlled the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada for generations, and despite its objective to assimilate Indians into the economic and political mainstream, it has had the opposite effect: segregation. They live under different laws and on different lands.People came away from that book with questions such as "Can we get rid of the Indian Act?" and "What would that look like? Would self-government work?" These are timely questions, given that 2026 will mark 150 years since the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876. The short answer to these questions is, yes, we can dismantle the Act, and there are current examples of self-government arrangements that are working.With his trademark wisdom, humility, and deep understanding, Bob Joseph shows us the path forward in 21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act, in which Indigenous self-governance is already happening and not to be feared—and negotiating more such arrangements, sooner rather than later, is an absolute necessity.21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act is a call to action.

  “In the wild, the strong subjugate the weak. They take their food. They take their territory.” 
  I’ve lost control. I’m a commander, but my soldiers no longer respect me. It’s because of the new recruit…he’s making me weak. 
  I give him my food rations. I give him my money. Something about it feels right. When I look at his muscles, my eyes glaze over and rational thought becomes impossible. 
  He’s put me on a special diet—I’m becoming emaciated. This is the end of my military career. Everything I’ve built is slipping away. 
  I need to kneel before him. I need to spread my legs and accept my place in the male hierarchy.

  Australia's War - The Impact of...

  The early 20th century was a time of great change and tension around the world. As nations sought to expand their influence, new alliances were formed, and existing powers prepared for conflict. Australia, still a young nation and part of the British Empire, found itself drawn into global events far from its shores. The road to war for Australia was shaped by its loyalty to Britain and its growing sense of national identity. 
  At the start of the 1900s, Australia was still under the authority of the British Empire, a relationship that influenced much of its foreign policy. Britain, having secured its position as a world power, was engaged in a series of alliances and military preparations. The rise of Germany as a strong military power created a climate of fear and competition across Europe. Tensions escalated as nations began to stockpile arms, form alliances, and take aggressive stances toward one another. 
  For Australia, the decision to support Britain in times of war was almost unquestioned. The strong ties to the mother country shaped much of the public opinion and government decisions. Australia’s leaders viewed their role as part of Britain’s global defense network, and many believed that supporting Britain in a time of war would strengthen Australia’s position as a member of the Empire. The idea of imperial loyalty was central to national identity, and Australia’s involvement in any potential conflict was seen as a duty to uphold British prestige and security.
