Battiste is a member of the Mi'kmaq tribe and is affiliated with the education department at the U. of Saskatchewan; Henderson, a Chickasaw, is a lawyer and advocate for the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. After discussing Eurocentrism, its assumptions, and its biases, they examine the contexts of Indigenous knowledge and heritage, focusing on contemporary issues. They also look at the existing legal regimes for protecting that knowledge, and suggest legal and policy reforms. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
