Book Overview
On September 4, 1995, several Stoney Point Natives entered Ipperwash Provincial Park, near Sarnia, Ontario, and began a peaceful protest aimed at reclaiming a traditional burial ground. Within seventy-two hours, one of those protestors, Anthony (Dudley) George, was dead, shot by an OPP officer. In One Dead Indian , after covering the tragedy from the beginning, journalist Peter Edwards examines the circumstances surrounding George's death and asks a number of tough questions, including: How much pressure did the Ontario government put on the OPP to get tough? As the official public inquiry attempt to shed light on what really happened, Peter Edwards's investigation of this question brings the story right up to the present.

A Shooting at Ipperwash
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Journalist Peter Edwards has written a sound account of the events surrounding the police shooting of Dudley George at Ipperwash PP, and shows how the then Premier of Ontario, Mike Harris, was very much involved in the police handling of the situation. Now that the Tories have been swept out of power, an inquiry is finally being held--the result of one of the few promises that the current Premier, Dalton McGuinty, has kept. I think that as a result, the incident that took place at Ipperwash in 1995 will become a significant landmark in Ontario history. It will bring to the fore how this Province has mistreated the First Nations people in its jurisdiction, and will hopefully lead to past wrongs being rectified. I highly recommend this book.
