[Reprinted as Pour une histoire amérindienne de l’Amérique, Presses de l’Université Laval, 1999] Inspired by the author’s Master’s thesis, this book provides guidelines and regulations for the proper study of the history of Indigenous peoples. The author explains that these need to reflect how Indigenous peoples see themselves as well as their own societal ethics. In this sense, this book is a metahistory; these norms should have precedence over the more recent, imported ones and be viewed as models for modern society.
