Like those of’ other races, the In- dians‘ manner ,of livelihood depends largely upon the climatic and physical features of the areas in which they live. In southern On- tario. southern Quebec. and parts of tile Maritime Provinces the Tn- dlnns ale engaged largely in agri- culture. and some of them find employment in nearby industrial centres. Another group occupies the grout hinterland comprising the nort-licm parts of the provinces from the north shore of tlic Si. Lawrence River to thr- MncKcnzic Val'ey and Yukon. These people are dependent mainly on hunting, fishing and trapping for their ex- istence, and large tracts of land have been set aside where only the Indians are permitted to hunt and trap. Efforts ore bring made to have this policy extended whore- cvcr feasible. having regard to the interests both of the Indians and of wild life conservation.
