Alternatives to social assistance for Canadian natives : draft / Submitted by Marcelle Gareau for Karen Allen.: R5-494/1989E-PDF

"The following is a partial examination of the Canadian Welfare State and it's implications for Canadian Indians. Previously used as a last resort for those who could not work, social assistance has increasingly taken on the role of supporting a high percentage of people who can work, but cannot obtain employment. For Indian people dependency upon social assistance is rapidly increasing, much to the concern of the Canadian Federal and Provincial governments and to the individual communities themselves who see social assistance eroding their traditional way of life."--Introduction, p. 2.
