The book is a little dated being written in 2006, but the ideas are good but hardly new. ( ) Calvin Helin examines Canadian aboriginal policy through the eyes of dependency; policy choices over the years have resulted in creating an aboriginal population dependent on federal hand-outs and an aboriginal bureaucracy focussed on maintaining its own power rather than leading citizens into economic participation and prosperity. While I could point out some errors in logic, the thesis is sound and the author points to several policy changes that could make a real difference to Canada's first peoples, and to Canadian society as a whole. As an added bonus, the book contains several full-colour illustrations that are absolutely stunning. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Dances with Dependency offers effective strategies to eliminate welfare dependency and help eradicate poverty among indigenous populations. Beginning with an impassioned and insightful portrait of today's native communities, it connects the prevailing impoverishment and despair directly to a "dependency mindset" forged by welfare economics. To reframe this debilitating mindset, it advocates policy reform in conjunction with a return to native peoples' ten-thousand-year tradition of self-reliance based on personal responsibility and cultural awareness. Author Calvin Helin, un-tethered to agendas of political correctness or partisan politics, describes the mounting crisis as an impending demographic tsunami threatening both the United States and Canada. In the United States, where government entitlement programs for diverse ethnic minorities coexist with an already huge national debt, he shows how prosperity is obviously at stake. This looming demographic tidal wave viewed constructively, however, can become an opportunity for reform--among not only indigenous peoples of North America but any impoverished population struggling with dependency in inner cities, developing nations, and post-totalitarian countries.
