He looks at the same events from three different perspectives - as empirical facts, in their legal interpretation, and as the subject of debates by historians.

The Last French and Indian War sheds light on how, since the 1982 patriation of the constitution, Canadian courts have become a formidable tool for Natives in asserting their rights. It examines the extent to which this creates two categories of citizen and poses a threat to the foundations of Canadian society.
