The 4th edition of our very popular book expands upon the previous editions with additional content, insight, our trademarked RESPECT training model, and suggestions on what one should do and what one should avoid doing when communicating and working with Indigenous Peoples.
Our goal with our courses, and this book, has always been to increase readers’ Indigenous awareness, cross cultural understanding, provide context, and give readers some practical hints, tips and suggestions that can be applied everywhere.
This book will provide readers with opportunities to:
- See both sides of the debate on Indigenous Peoples' rights, title and treaties
