| Sumario: | "In this book, Professor D.N. Sprague tells why the M?s did not receive the land that was supposed to be theirs under the Manitoba Act ... Sprague offers many examples of the methods used, such as legislation justifying the sale of the land allotted to M?s children without any of the safeguards ordinarily required in connection with transactions with infants.

All branches of the government participated. It is a shameful tale. |
