This book provides an introductory look at the control Indian Agents, who were primarily White men, exercised over Aboriginal communities in Canada from the 1870s to the 1960s. The book concludes with a comparison of the Indian Agent System in Canada, with similar systems in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
