What Indigenous People wish you knew about Canadian history
For decades, Bob Joseph has been a pivotal voice in advancing the dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. He is the author of the national best seller, 21 Things You Might Not Know About the Indian Act and, more recently, 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self Government.
In the Autumn 2026 issue of Canada’s History magazine, he wrote a thoughtful examination of how the Indian Act continues to impact all Canadians.

Canada's History magazine was established in 1920 as The Beaver, a Journal of Progress. In its early years, the magazine focused on Canada's fur trade and life in Northern Canada. While Indigenous people were pictured in the magazine, they were rarely identified, and their stories were told by settlers. Today, Canada's History is raising the voices of First Nations, Métis and Inuit by sharing the stories of their past in their own words.
If you believe that stories of Canada’s Indigenous history should be more widely known, help us do more. Your donation of $10, $25, or whatever amount you like, will allow Canada’s History to share Indigenous stories with readers of all ages, ensuring the widest possible audience can access these stories for free.
Any amount helps, or better yet, start a monthly donation today. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you!
