Manitoba Indian Brotherhood, Inc., Winnipeg.
Providing documentation of past injustices to the Canada Native, this book presents specific recommendations regarding the policies required to better the relationship between two sovereign peoples, the Indian tribes of Manitoba (as represented by the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood) and the Canadian Government. Divided into two major sections dealing with on-going relationships and development areas, this book includes chapters on the following: treaties and aboriginal rights; land; hunting rights; The Indian Act; culture; health and social services; housing; education; social development; legal protection; economic development; and reserve government. The major recommendations are summarized in terms of the membership, responsibilities, policies, and purposes of the following proposed boards and commissions: Local Government Board; Economic Development Board; Welfare Board; Health Services Board; Education Commission; and Police Commission. Additionally, general recommendations are addressed to the church, the private business sector, the Labor Movement, the Cabinet, the Indian-Provincial relationship; and the Federal-Indian-Provincial relationship. The central theme of the recommendations is involvement of Canada Natives in decision making processes which respect their sovereignty; for example, it is recommended that the Government of Canada establish a Ministerial Cabinet Committee with representation of Indian association leaders.
