"If ever there was a book that needed to be in every school, library, and bookshop in Canada, it's Indigenous Rights in One Minute. Bruce McIvor’s ability to make the information accessible to a broad, non-legal audience will help dispel myths, clarify misunderstandings, and give Canadians the tools they need to help advance reconciliation.”  

—Dr. Pamela Palmater, author of Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence 
 

"According to Treaty Elders the word for ‘truth’ in nêhiyawêwin is tâpwêwin, which means “speaking with precision and accuracy.” While many legal texts are accurate, they lack Bruce McIvor’s precise understanding of what Indigenous peoples need to know about Indigenous rights. This book is tâpwêwin. "

— Dr. Kathy Walker, Treaty Commissioner, Saskatchewan
