Describing the increasing numbers of Canada Natives who must reconcile the conflict arising from the economic necessity to migrate and the emotional necessity to stay in Manitoba's rural areas, this book identifies the following problems facing the rural to urban Canada Native migrant: lack of adequate housing; lack of finances; deficiency in skills and education; discrimination; lack of information; lack of preparation for urban living; lack of confidence and a good self-concept; lack of group identity; confusion due to the fragmentation of social services; and an ideological gulf established between white and Native cultures. Recommendations for alleviating these problems center on a comprehensive delivery system for the Native migrants which would include preventive and remedial action in rural areas to be achieved through local community leaders working in conjunction with a provincial network. Recommendations regarding specific measures include development of: counseling services (housing, school, environmental adjustment, government assistance, home management, sports, recreation, and culture); a distress fund to provide for emergencies; Native-sensitive teacher training programs, textbooks, and curricula; special housing assistance; a coordinating agency for Native programs to consist of designated Federal and Provincial members; job options via indoctrination of private industry; existing rural communities (rural development) to deter migration; and promotions for the Manitoba Metis Development Corporation.
