Notes

William I. C. Wuttunee (1928–2015) was a Cree lawyer and Indigenous rights advocate from Red Pheasant First Nation, Saskatchewan. His views on Indigenous rights, integration and the future of the reserve system were set out in Ruffled Feathers, published in 1971.

In this book, Wuttunee examines the position of Indigenous peoples within Canadian society, addressing the Indian Act, reserve life, economic opportunity and the relationship between Indigenous communities and the Canadian state. Writing during the debate surrounding the federal government's 1969 White Paper proposals, he argues for changes to the legal and social structures governing Indigenous life.
