In Indigenous Women, Work, and History, historian Mary Jane Logan McCallum presents case studies of Indigenous domestic servants, hairdressers, community health representatives, and nurses working between 1940 and 1980. Based on a range of sources, McCallum shows how state-run education and placement programs were part of Canada's larger vision of assimilation and extinguishment of treaty obligations.
