This booklet answers questions concerning the relationship between Aboriginals, Aleuts and Inuit and the United States Federal Government. Answers cover numerous areas: Legal status of Indians, Indian lands, the purpose of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, economic status, health, education, and law and order on reservations. Also includes lists of selected readings, publications, and museum locations.
This article describes the findings of a study of isolated communities and reserves in the prairie provinces conducted for the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, with the co-operation of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The study finds that housing conditions for aboriginals are sub-standard and properly constructed houses and housing groups would be beneficial.
Identifies trends, reviews previous evaluation results, and looks at community housing plans, governance of First Nations programs, and housing authorities.
