The Red Man's on the Warpath : The Image of the Indian and the Second World War
Overview
During the Second World War, thousands of First Nations people joined in the national crusade to defend freedom and democracy.

The Red Man's on the Warpath explores how wartime symbolism and imagery propelled the "Indian problem" onto the national agenda, and why assimilation remained the goal of post-war Canadian Indian policy - even though the war required that it be rationalized in new ways.
