"The Story of a National Crime: Being an Appeal for Justice to the Indians of Canada" by P. H. Bryce, M.A., M.D. is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1922. This book serves as a critical examination of the health conditions faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada from 1904 to 1921, highlighting systemic neglect and injustices perpetuated by Canadian authorities. It elucidates the struggles of Indigenous communities against a backdrop of governmental inaction regarding their health and living conditions. In this compelling work, Dr. Bryce documents his experiences and findings as Chief Medical Officer of the Indian Department, detailing alarming health statistics that reveal a crisis situation amongst Indigenous populations, particularly concerning tuberculosis. He recounts his attempts to advocate for better healthcare and educational facilities while facing significant bureaucratic resistance. Bryce's extensive reports, based on empirical data, illustrate a shocking death rate and inadequate medical care, ultimately calling for urgent reform and justice for the Indigenous peoples of Canada. Through a combination of personal accounts, statistical analysis, and an appeal to conscience, the book resonates as a powerful indictment of the systemic issues affecting Canada’s Indigenous communities.
