Summary:
"In 1945, Alfred Adams, a respected Haida elder and founding president of the
Native
Brotherhood of British Columbia (NBBC), was dying of cancer. After decades of fighting to increase the rights and recognition of First Nations people, he implored Maisie Hurley to help his people by telling others about their struggle. Hurley took his request to both heart and mind, and with $150 of her own money, started a small newspaper that would become a powerful catalyst for change: The
Native
Voice
. At that time, the Welsh-born Hurley had been an advocate for First Nations clients in court. She did not have a law degree, but was graced with the courage and confidence to challenge all who stood in her way. The
Native
Voice
became the official newspaper of the NBBC, one of the largest democratic First Nations organizations in the country. At a time when telecommunication was expensive and often inaccessible in Aboriginal communities, The
Native
Voice
reported relevant news and stories of everyday life to First Nations throughout the province, including hard-won rights such as the right to vote provincially and federally. The
Voice
chronicled both the realities of Aboriginal life and a vision for the future, enabling and inspiring overdue change in Canada"--Provided by publisher.
