A sort of time-capsule experience of Indigenous activist George Manuel, being a mix of his personal story, Indigenous history, and broad and specific political ideals. I think this book does an excellent job of blending all these elements together into a cohesive whole that gets at the titular "Fourth World". We learn about the struggles that Manuel and those before him have engaged in since the dawn of the "Canada", the battles they have fought to even have their voices heard let alone be listened to. The weaponization of legal frameworks that delude groups into believing in the artificial superiority of the oppressor. The ideas of sharing that are prevalent throughout Indigenous traditions and how that is the way their individualized struggle has survived. An excellent primer on Indigenous relations in Canada and BC and a glimpse in what the "Fourth World" is.
