Indian policy - a proposal for autonomy. - R.W. Dunning. - Article. - December 1969.

R.W. Dunning's proposal for autonomy for Aboriginals is in sharp contrast to the Canadian Government's "White Paper", published earlier that year. Among his ideas are: government recognition of Aboriginal organizations that represent wide segments of the population, and giving full title to reserve lands to registered band members.

Historical note:

Canadian anthropologist R.W. Dunning pioneered in the field of relations between Aboriginals and the Canadian Government, ever emphasizing the contradictions within Canadian Aboriginal policy which continued the continued subservience to and dependence upon the Indian Affairs bureaucracy of reserve communities.
