Edward J. Hedican is a professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Guelph. He is the author of Ipperwash: The Tragic Failure of Canada's Aboriginal Policy and Applied Anthropology in Canada: Understanding Aboriginal Issues.
'The events that led up to the death of Dudley George and the history of the Ipperwash inquiry are stories that must be told and taught. In this important contribution to the study of Indigenous policy in Canada, Edward J. Hedican provides a significant and accurate critique of a particularly tragic case, situating it within a broader historical framework not available in such an accessible manner elsewhere in the literature. Ipperwash will succeed in drawing attention to the systemic change required to improve conditions and quality of life in Aboriginal communities.'--L. Jane McMillan, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples and Sustainable Communities, and Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, St Francis Xavier University
