The historical development of the Indian Act / editors John Leslie and Ron Maguire ; Treaties and Historical Research Centre, Research Branch, Coporate Policy, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.: R32-342/1984E-PDF

"The purpose of this paper is to acquaint Departmental officials and researchers with the main themes of Indian policy and legislation from colonial times. It is not intended to be a definitive account, but rather a guide to further research, and a stimulus for policy discussion. It is not an official Departmental publication but an internal working paper and the views expressed are not necessarily those of the Department."--Preface, p. i.
