     Thanks should be extended to 
     
     those who took the time during 
     
     their summer holidays to look at 
     
     and talk at the Indians on Lennox 
     
     Island. Greater thanks are due to 
     
     those who spent half a day away 
     
     from their usual activity of cap- 
     
     turing the essence of Island culture, 
     
     getting to know the problems of 
     
     the Indians, and expending a greater 
     
     effort publishing an article which 
     
     indicated how the Indians have 
     
     failed to keep abreast of their pro- 
     
     blems. It is refreshing to read an 
     
     article which has not Iampooned 
     
     the Department of Indian Affairs 
     
     and our government. It illustrated 
     
     nicely what Indian Affairs people 
     
     have been saying for a long time; 
     
     our native peoples are not ready to 
     
     handle their own affairs. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Canadians are tired of hearing 
     
     this constant bickering by their 
     
     native peoples. What do the Indians 
     
     want anyway? They constantly 
     
     cemplain about the dreadful con- 
     
     ditions of their reservations, the 
     
     lack. of equal opportunity, ,white 
     
     prejudice, and so forth and so 
     
     forth. To meet these complaints 
     
     our government meekly admitted 
     
     its past mistakes with regard to its 
     
     Indian policy. Note this statement 
     
     by Deputy Minister of Indian Af- 
     
     fairs, Mr. John MacDonald to the 
     
     Senato Committee on Poverty: 
     
    

    
     ‘f...There have been, basically, 
     
     three weaknesses in our ap- 
     
     proach to this matter: we have 
     
     been paternalistic, even though 
     
     it has been benevolent; we have 
     
     tackled the problem of poverty 
     
     in a fragmented and discrimin- 
     
     atory rather than an integrated 
     
     way; and we have misjudged 
     
     the degree of competance re- 
     
     quired in human relations, and 
     
     in the evoluation and implemen- 
     
     tation of effective policies 
     
    
   
   
    
     Moreover, our government has dev- 
     
     eloped a new formula and policy on 
     
     the advice of its non-Indian Indian 
     
     experty. This policy gives the Indian

     every opportunity to become a 
     
     white man and fit into our great 
     
     Canadian Mosaic. What more can 
     
     they ask for? After all isn’t the 
     
     problem of the Indians their Indi- 
     
     an-ness — Their discriminatory Indi- 
     
     an status?- Says Mr. Chretien, Mini- 
     
     ster of Indian Affairs and Northern 
     
     Development, “Get rid of the 
     
     INDIAN ACT. Treat Indians as 
     
     any other Canadians.” For how 
     
     else are we to rid our society of 
     
     prejudice against the Indians. The 
     
     solution is simple for Mr. Trudeau: 
     
    

    
     Get rid of the Indians. Say Mr. 
     
     Trudeau, “Forget the treaties. Let 
     
     the Indians become Canadians.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     What is perplexing is the Indians’ 
     
     response to our govemment’s under-
