| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Crisis Intervention Officer Marie Francis of the Micmac Native Friendship Centre (Halifax, NS). Francis discusses the financial difficulties faced by the Status Indian population in Canada who lives off reserve, and states that Bands often do not live up to their fiduciary obligations to off-reserve people. Francis protests that often it is those who are trying to attain a higher education who endure the most hardship due to this practice, and states that "the regulations concerning eligibility of on- and off- reserve Indians must be re-examined and new legislation must be established." Following the presentation Commissioners Erasmus and Robinson discuss some of the issues raised with Francis. | |
