A Great read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Having been involved in the negotiation of treaties in Canada for the past 15 years I highly recommend this book. It is not the dry, legalistic tome that you might expect it to be, but Mr Molloy has imbued it with the personal touches about the negotiation and the negotiation process. His anecdotes ring true to life, and although I was not involved in the Nisgaa negotiations, similar occurences have happened to me in all the treaty negotiations that I have been involved in over the years. It's the book that we all wish we could have written.

There is much to learn from the Nisga'a, a native band in Canada's north who have fought for over a century to win basic individual rights and a recognition of their ancient nation. And no white man knows more about the Nisga'a and their efforts to sign their first treaty with the Canadian government than Tom Molloy, the chief government negotiator. In "The World is Our Witness," Molloy skillfully lays out the sometimes arcane details of the treaty without ever getting bogged down in technicalities. Rather, he captures the spirit of a proud people struggling to find their place in the modern world. With ethnic tensions and tribalism on the rise everywhere, Canada's treatment of its Indians raises hope that there is another way. And in "The World is our Witness," Tom Molloy tells this important and moving story with clarity and conviction.
