Saskatchewan Indian reserves : potential for commercial recreational development / Prepared for the Department of Indian & Northern Affairs, Economic Development, Saskatchewan Region ; EPEC Consulting...: R77-35/1977E-PDF

"Indian peoples have, historically, lived a life style relatively isolated from the norm of what may be termed "white society". The life style of "living off the land" is virtually gone in an increasingly technologically-oriented society. Many of the Indian Bands are gradually becoming involved in forms of economic development such as agriculture and very recently, commercial recreational developments, on their reserves. As lands having high quality environmental attributes for recreation become increasingly scarce, Indian Bands are recognizing the recreational potentials of their reserves, not only as an economic benefit in providing employment opportunities for Band members, but as a social benefit in improving a social environment of often low morales and aiding the social cohesion of their Bands"--Introduction, p. 1.
