Summary:

In 1992, people of the only federally recognized Algonquin reserve in Ontario--Pikwakagagan--began land claim negotiations with the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada. In that context, Lawrence (Indigenous studies, York U., Toronto) began interviewing Algonquins in the area who had never been federally recognized as Indians, about "Indianness," and what criteria determine it. After an initial chapter on Algonquin survival and resurgence, she takes the Algonquin watersheds in turn. Her first book was on non-recognized urban Indians like herself.
