The Honourable John Norquay

Indigenous Premier, Canadian Statesman

Beschreibung

Once described as Louis Riel's alter ego, Manitoba Premier John Norquay skirmished with John A. Macdonald and endured racist taunts while championing the interests of the Prairie West. This biography of an Indigenous political leader sheds welcome light on a neglected historical figure and a tumultuous time for Canada and Manitoba.
