THIS WEEK
AND NEXT

RED POWER IN CANADA
The "vahishing Americans,"
as the Indians on this conti-
nent have sometimes been cal-
led, are staging a dramatic and
insistent comeback on the Can-
adian scene.
Until recently, the Indians
have been Canada's forgotten
race, remaining relatively docile
on‘the nation's 2,274 reserves or
dark ghettoes of our towns and
cities. Despite white men's ne-
glect and •indifference, they
have remained mete and peace-
ful . but now a growing num-
ber are gagging on the , peace
pipe.
Seething with frustration ov-
er shabby homes, inferior edu-
.cational facilities and unequal
job opportunities, many Indians
and mbced-blood Metis are
threatening to go on the war-
path.
Why? Ample reason was un-
covered last year in a survey
by an Antigonish, N.S., news-
paper, which found that 91 per-
cent of all Indian homes in
Canada have no sewers or sep-
tic tanks, 87 percent have no
running water, 93 percent have
no indoor bath, 90 percent have
no telephones, and 75 percent
,of all Indians earn less than
$2,000 a year.
Saskatchewan Premier Ross
Thatcher views the situation as
"a time bomb which, if it is
not defused by action, could ex-
plode withiu a decade."
And Metis university profes-
sor, Dr. Howard Adams of Sas-
katoon, agrees. He warns that
more • and more Indians and
Metis are advocating Red Pow-
er, the organiiation ,of militant
political bodies to force Can-
ada to improve the lot of the
Indian.
Recognizing the danger of
mass social unrest, Prime Min-
ilter Pierre Trudeau in the last
election campaign, promised re-
form for the Indian. Indian Af-
fairs Minister Jean Chretien and
Minister without Portfolio Rob-
ert Andras have held hearings '
and meetings with Indians across
Canada, seeking suggestions for
the revision of the Indian Act.
The skepticism of many
dians, even before hearing Gov-
ernment proposals for changes
in the Act, was forcefully ex-
• pressed by Forrest Walkem, of
the Cook's Ferry band from
Spence's Bridge, B.C.: "It is the
opinion of our band that no In-
dian Act, no matter how com-
prehensive, has ever in the past,
nor will ever in the future, give
us rights to freedom and res-
ponsibility equal to those enjoy-
ed by the non -natives presently
• oceepying our land."
Mr. Chretien has said in the
Commons that no other admin-
. istration has consulted with In-
dians as much over their af- "
fairs, but some Indians have re-
plied that he speaks with a fork-
ed tongue. They charge that In-
dian Affairs is a "monstrosity," /
working -only to employ more
bureaucrats, aed they demanded
• the creation of an Indian board
eto advise Prime Minister Tru-
deau directly. They also asked
for a review of the department.
What many Indians are cal-
' ling for is total self-determina-
tion. A new-born pride has em-
erged in the Indian, and no one
has championed this mlre thr n
the 26year-old firebrand ',co -
k princess, Ka hri-Tin eta
Horn, who has urged Inditus to
resist integration, assimilation,
and the eventual- disappvrance
of the red race.
Indians in larger cities, who
once tried to explain, away their
darker skin by pretending to be
Itaitan,, are now openly btiest:-
ing of their Indian, blood.
'The Indian, it 'would seem, is
determined not to vanish. At
one time the Indian population
slumped as low as 160,009, but
an increase by 59.8 percent be-
tween 1949 (total 136,407) and
1965 (218,098) represents, to one
authority, "the fastest growing
ethnic population in the coun-
try."
Ironically, in this day when
Indians are experiencing an up-
surge In power, the population
of about 220,000 is approximate-
ly equal to the population at
the time when Sainuel Cham-
plain set foot on Canada's. soil
— and signalled the decline of
the Indian.
But it's increased 'prosperity,
not just population, that the
modern Indian is demanding.
He will no longer tolerate be-
ing shuttled into the backgreurd
of the national memory, as a
colorful character of s long -
forgotten pioneer p-st. He
*ants — and deserves — shnre
of the present PP well.
