'Paquette and Fallon provide an excellent primer on First Nations education policy, while offering important conceptual thoughts and concrete understandings on how First Nations have positioned within the social and cultural context of Canada... I would particularly recommend it for Aboriginal education courses.' -- Mark Aquash , Great Plains Quarterly: vol21: 02: 2011
