Bna Act: Manuel and Ronald Derrickson

bna act: His daughter and several grandchildren lived at the camp for three months, according to NOW Magazine. Indigenous leader and activist Arthur Manuel died unexpectedly earlier this year just as he was wrapping up work on his recently released book, The Reconciliation Manifesto, Recovering The Land, Rebuilding The Economy with co-author Grand Chief Ronald Derrickson . Naomi Klein, who delivered the eulogy at Manuel's funeral at Adams Lake Indian Band Community Centre on January 15, 2017 and also contributed the preface to Manuel's book praises Manuel as a formidable activist and brilliant teacher. He visited the camp twice in 2016. In this excerpt, Manuel writes about how the BNA Act that created Canada set the young country on the path to a race-based democracy. Colonialism is not a behaviour that can be superficially changed by a prime minister professing sunny ways. Canada, as a society, is still in denial about its historical and current colonialism when it comes to Indigenous peoples, and how the country is still largely based on the white supremacism of its founding document, the British North America BNA Act.
