It may sound effusive, but it’s true: almost every scholar of Canadian television I have met in the last decade counts Mary Jane Miller as one of their mentors in at least some capacity. And what they all remark upon is a certain generosity of spirit that is not always easy to find in academia: a willingness to share experiences and works (not to mention that most elusive of all tools of the trade for television scholars: tapes of otherwise impossible to find Canadian TV series). It is this generosity of spirit that permeates her newest book, Outside Looking In. I wanted to say her newest and best/most important book, but, in fact, it is impossible to rank Miller’s work in such a fashion. Her three books on Canadian television—Turn Up the Contrast: CBC Television Drama since 1952 (1987), Rewind and Search: Makers and Decision Makers of Canadian Television Drama (1996), and Outside Looking In—form a key trinity in this area of scholarship, particularly for those who study television text. Outside Looking In is much like Miller’s previous books: broad and deep in scope, meticulously researched, and very accessible. Miller’s new book traces the imprint through which Canadian First Nations peoples have been represented in Canadian television. She begins in the 1950s and moves right up into the 1990s and devotes 162 pages to the television series North of 60, a book unto itself. There is no question that Outside Looking In is a major contribution to the literature on Canadian television and offers access to an often inaccessible and forgotten (in that relegated-to-the-back-of-the-attic kind of way) area in which First Nations peoples have been narrated into the popular mythologies of the nation. Miller opens her book by bringing up the question that might be on everyone’s mind in the most upfront way: “White people should not tell First Nations stories” (p. 3). She addresses this criticism in her introductory chapter, noting that televisual representations of First Nations peoples have, until very recently, been made almost exclusively
