Floating Voice: Duncan Campbell Scott and the Literature of Treaty 9

by Stan Dragland

Book Overview

The writing of Duncan Campbell Scott has long represented a sympathetic understanding of Canada's Native peoples--perhaps mistakenly so, however, as in his work as a bureaucrat, Scott put in place white paternalistic policies that Native peoples resist to this day. Floating Voice examines Scott's contradictions, with renewed consideration of his best "Indian" fiction and poetry.
