Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Hunter, winner of a Governor General’s Award for co-authoring Occupied Canada, has crossed trails with Natives of all sorts in many circumstances. His adventures as the founder of the Greenpeace movement in Vancouver brought him in frequent contact with sympathetic Natives fighting the same good fight. He worked with the Nimpkish Band Council as a media adviser, and was involved in a number of Native protest actions, including a spectacular journey to the Caribbean with an unlikely (and seasick) band of B.C. Natives who managed to intercept the recreated Columbus fleet and extract an official apology from the Spanish government. In this book, Hunter provides a look at Native life, and especially Native activists, that is far from solemn and is consistently informative and irreverently entertaining.
