By examining the root causes of aboriginal problems, Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard expose the industry that has grown up around land claim settlements, showing that aboriginal policy development over the past thirty years has been manipulated by non-aboriginal lawyers and consultants. They analyse all the major aboriginal policies, examine issues that have received little critical attention - child care, health care, education, traditional knowledge - and propose the comprehensive government provision of health, education, and housing rather than deficient delivery through Native self-government.

Section one examines how children develop in the following four chapters: (1) "The Mind Matters: A Child's Developing Brain"; (2) "No Time To Waste: Early Experiences Are Key"; (3) "Bouncing Back: Children's Resilience"; and (4) "More Reasons To Invest in Children: Child Development and a Changing World." Section two examines what makes a difference to children's development in the following five chapters: (5) "What All Children Need: Four Determinants of Optimal Child Development"; (6) "Childhood Should Be Protected: The First Determinant of Optimal Child Development"; (7) "Relationships are Key: The Second Determinant of Optimal Child Development"; (8) "Opportunity and Hope: The Third Determinant of Optimal Child Development"; and (9) "Community Is Us: The Fourth Determinant of Optimal Child Development." Section three examines how society can make a difference in the following two chapters: (10) "Communities in Action"; and (11) "Finding Solutions and Taking Action." The book's six appendices highlight new research, assessment, relevant Canadian organizations, health goals, criteria for research, and contributors. (SD)
