Working effectively with Aboriginal peoples

Joseph, Robert P. C. 1963- (author.). Joseph, Cynthia F., (author.).

Summary: Working Effectively with Aboriginal Peoples™ 3rd Edition is full of material that has been extensively field-tested for over 15 years in workshops with thousands of participants. Feedback has been great. Excerpts are included in the on demand online training. Our goal with the training and the book has always be to increase readers' Aboriginal awareness and more importantly, take them a step "beyond Aboriginal awareness" to practical hints, tips and suggestions that can be applied everywhere. For example, do you know the best terminology to use when working with Aboriginal Peoples? Should you use Native, Native Peoples, Indian, Indian Tribe, Indian Band, First Nations, or Aboriginal Peoples? This book can help you sort through the many different terms in use and give you practical advice on knowing which terms to use when working in this complex environment.
