Description
Examines the policies of the Saskatchewan government under Premier Ross Thatcher; notes that while the intentions of the government were based in empathy and a desire to implement changes that would improve the quality of life for First Nations peoples, their practice was rooted in paternalistic methods and assimilation policies bringing the Provincial government into conflict with the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians (FSI, now the FSIN).
