They provided the basis for recognition of the unique status of Indigenous Peoples within Canada. After four first ministers' conferences on Aboriginal Constitutional Matters failed to produce any substantial agreement between Indigenous Peoples and Canada, the precise meaning and content of Section 35 has remained unclear. As a result, Section 35 has been largely defined through a series of court cases, but despite these cases, many Indigenous and non-Indigenous people continue to have different visions of the possibilities and limitations of Section 35. \u003cem\u003eBox of Treasures or Empty Box?\u003c\/em\u003e brings together these voices to explore community, political, legal and academic perspectives on whether or not Section 35 has helped or hindered Indigenous Peoples' aspirations for Self-Determination and Nationhood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors include Halie Bruce, Arthur Manuel, Louise Mandell, Mark Stevenson, Catherine Bell, Robert Paterson, Ian Waddell, Lee Maracle, John Borrows, Millie Poplar, James Tully, Douglas Harris, Cheryl Knockwood, June McCue and Ardith Walkem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Theytus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894778138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Ardith Walkem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51299178217653,"sku":"9781894778138","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d095a7ad-d5d1-4900-8eec-be511f617ae8.jpg?v=1751985629","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/box-of-treasures-or-empty-box-twenty-years-of-section-35-9781894778138","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
