A Canadian Shame, Book Development and Sourcing
The book "A Canadian Shame" evolved from a planned short introduction for a reprint of the Indian Act into a standalone concise guide. The author emphasizes that the work is an amalgamation of public domain information, including Parliament records and Truth and Reconciliation Commission reports. Great effort was made to source every claim directly to original House of Commons transcripts to avoid speculation.
