Cromb, Director of Education, Indian and Eskimo Affairs Program, agreed to send someone into the District to initiate a recovery program for high school students who had withdrawn from the school. Subsequently, as a first step in the project., Mr. David Wattie, Education Branch, Ottawa, Dr. J.C. Hill, District Superintendent of Education, Six Nations, his wife, Mrs. Florence Hill, Mr. Ian Howes, Assistant District Superintendent of Education, and Mr. Ishmael Patel, Vocational Guidance Counsellor, visited six communities in the District, during the week of September 20th to 25th. The communities visited were Sandy Lake, Big Trout Lake, Bearskin Lake, Angling Lake, Round Lake and Wunnumin Lake. (The trip to Angling Lake was brief and unscheduled, and no formal Meetings were held there.) The purpose of each visit was to discuss with the people in the community their ideas and plans for high school programs suited to Indian students from the northern communities"--Introduction, p.
