| Scope and content | Correspondence regarding complaints to the Prime Minister by a delegation from the Red Pheasant Reserve. The complaints centre around access to electrical power, too much Roman Catholic influence in the Battleford Indian Agency (one of the complainants, a Catholic, agrees with this stance), Liberal civil servants preventing authorities from receiving their requests, fighting between the Baptist and Catholic clergy "rather astonishing, considering that most of the Indians on Red Pheasant are Anglicans," and the need for housing/more adequate pensions for the elderly. Also includes 2 cross reference sheets. | |
