McDayter , 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. SEE OUR COMPLETE SELECTION OF as Cards .. AS WARM, AS 'SINCERE, AND AS FRIENDLY AS A HANDSHAKE THE HURON EXPOSITOR FAk tu.
