| Abstract |
Correspondence between N.J. McLeod, Regional Supervisor in Saskatchewan for the Department of Indian Affairs, and and Mr. Louis D. Hyndman of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. Correspondence includes reference to Chief Joseph Dreaver of the Mistawasis Reserve and McLeod's report that Saskatchewan bands are skeptical of Chief Dreaver's relationship with the Canadian government. Reference to proposed changes to the Indian Act.
N.J. McLeod was the Regional Supervisor to the Department of Indian Affairs. McLeod wanted to increase welfare benefits for first Nations, believing that by 1960 housing and nutrition had already been improved upon for First Nations via the role of the D.I.A. For more on N.J. McLeod, housing, nutrition and employment information in the 1960s, see "A National Crime: The Canadian Government and the Residential School System" by John S. Milloy and "Indigenous Women, Work and History: 1940-1980" by Mary Jane Logan McCallum. |
