During the Second World War, thousands of First Nations people joined
in the national crusade to defend freedom and democracy. High rates of
Native enlistment and public demonstrations of patriotism encouraged
Canadians to re-examine the roles and status of Native people in
Canadian society. 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.
