The historical development of the Indian Act / Policy, Planning and Research Branch, Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.: R32-342/1975E-PDF
"During a Policy Planning and Research Branch meeting in the fall of 1973, the incumbent Chief of Research made what was to him a disquieting discovery. He noted, that while the Indian Act had been on the statute books for nearly 100 years and was based on other statutes dating from the pre-Confederation period, there was no document that presented, in a straight-forward fashion, the Act's history or evolution. There were several slender volumes on the history or development of Indian Affairs policy and a few, even more slender volumes, explaining the existing legislation. But there was nothing to chronicle the changes in legislation leading to the present act."--Preface.
