Approach to government-Indian relationship : transcription.: R5-578/1976E-PDF

"The principal means of concerting policies, programs and resources is to achieve an agreed policy approach. As the established authority and responsibility centre for status Indians, the Federal Government must assume part of the initiative in seeking to define the aims and shape of policies applied to Indian questions. Given the undertaking and need to consult with the Indian people concerned, this process of definition can best be accomplished through joint working arrangements with representatives of the Indian people, operating at various levels of contact. Through these arrangements the objectives, goals, priorities and methods for policy and programs alike can be worked out jointly and systematically, with emphasis on the acknowledged need for sensitivity and flexibility"--Introduction, p. 2.
