viii, 292 pages ; 23 cm, \"The philosophical underpinnings of this textbook make it a most interesting read for scholars of Aboriginal studies, the social sciences, humanities, cultural studies, and humanistic curriculum development.\" \"John Steckley's familiarity with and respect for the epistemology of the Huron, Mohawk, and Ojibwa peoples enlightens and enables his research. In this book, he provides a critical framework for assessing Aboriginal content in introductory sociology textbooks. He defines what is missing from the seventy-seven texts included in his study of the manifestation of cultural hegemony in Canadian sociology textbooks. This critique is suitable for students and professors of sociology, as Dr. Steckley addresses the impact of the ellipses in the texts they have traditionally used.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (pages 264-287) and indexes, Analytical framework and methodology -- Disciplining sociology textbooks -- Elders on ice: culturally determined inuit elder suicide -- The potlatch in Canadian introductory sociology textbooks -- Oka: background -- Oka: the warrior frame -- Canadian introductory sociology textbooks analysed in the study -- The Chilcotin war -- The Sundance -- The Pass system -- Wampum 81 of the great law -- The Donald Marshall case -- The J.J.
