Commendations
"This CD belongs in the libraries of every community and government, on the course lists of every high school, college and university in the country, and in the hands of all those who care about establishing a fair and honourable relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Canada."
Marlene Brant Castellano, former Co-Director of Research for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and Professor Emeritus of Trent University

" ... this resource has a broad application across the social studies, English, library skills curricula at every grade level and indeed beyond the public school system. It is a document that colleges and universities will no doubt find very useful. The CD-ROM contains information applicable to a wide range of curricular topics: geography, law, history, environmental studies, English/Native literature, cultural and multicultural studies ... The division into the seven categories for research is evidence that this is no superficial document; its validity lies in its advanced searching capability."
Wally Diefenthaler, Kaye Steward and Gail Sobat, educators, Bellerose Composite High School, St. Albert, Alberta
