Book Description

April 15 2003
On September 4, 1995, several Stoney Point Natives entered Ipperwash Provincial Park, near Sarnia, Ontario, and began a peaceful protest aimed at reclaiming a traditional burial ground. Within seventy-two hours, one of those protestors, Anthony (Dudley) George, was dead, shot by an OPP officer.

In One Dead Indian, after covering the tragedy from the beginning, journalist Peter Edwards examines the circumstances surrounding George’s death and asks a number of tough questions, including: How much pressure did the Ontario government put on the OPP to get tough? As the official public inquiry attempt to shed light on what really happened, Peter Edwards’s investigation of this question brings the story right up to the present.

Review

One Dead Indian is a very important book. If you care about democracy, and the separation of government and police, this is a must read… Edwards (is) a journalist’s journalist.”
–Laura Robinson, Globe and Mail

“(One Dead Indian) could become the catalyst needed to force the Harris government to call a judicial inquiry into the intolerable silence and obfuscation surrounding Ipperwash.”
Globe and Mail editorial

“Among top 10 non-fiction books of 2001.”
Toronto Star

“… scathing indictment of police brutality and political deception over the killing of unarmed Dudley George… One Dead Indian is a very impressive feat of investigative journalism.”
–James Cullingham, Toronto Star

“I’ve just finished reading Star reporter Peter Edwards’ gripping book on the case – One Dead Indian: The Premier, the Police, and the Ipperwash Crisis. Hours after I finished underlining, while the pages sprouted a bristling border of yellow sticky notes, my heart is still pumping with sorrowing outrage.”
– Michele Landsberg, Toronto Star

“… excellent book… This is a compelling, well-researched and important book which I would highly urge you to read.”
–Evan Solomon, CBC television’s ‘Hot Type’

“Edwards’ book is clearly written and well-researched. He has reconstructed with care a complex problem. For those concerned with social justice, this book is sometimes difficult to digest.”
–Daniel McIntosh, National Post

“We’re impressed by the quality and depth of Edwards’ research. It is a thorough and important book.”
Windspeaker, Canada’s National Aboriginal News

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shooting at Ipperwash Nov 13 2004
By K Scheffler TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Journalist Peter Edwards has written a sound account of the events surrounding the police shooting of Dudley George at Ipperwash PP, and shows how the then Premier of Ontario, Mike Harris, was very much involved in the police handling of the situation. Now that the Tories have been swept out of power, an inquiry is finally being held--the result of one of the few promises that the current Premier, Dalton McGuinty, has kept. I think that as a result, the incident that took place at Ipperwash in 1995 will become a significant landmark in Ontario history. It will bring to the fore how this Province has mistreated the First Nations people in its jurisdiction, and will hopefully lead to past wrongs being rectified. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mar 26 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is amazing, It shows you how the government is really treating our Natives in this Country. It is a shame, and will embarass most Canadians. I think its time to treat them fairly, we all know a Person of minority status in our lives, Just think if it was them that was treated this way. This book is a real eye opener, and I commend the Natives in the book who stood tall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, unbiased depiction of events May 11 2010
By Kimmerlyn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I spent part of my childhood at Ipperwash and am very familiar with the reservation, the people and the underlying issues. This book gives a thorough, unbiased account of the the history of the tribe as well as the events that occurred before, during and and after the shooting. Reading it, I relived the sorrow and the outrage that I felt during that period in our history. Anyone who thinks inequality and social injustices no longer exist needs to read this book. We haven't come as far as we'd like to think we have.
