Native policy since 1945 / Kerry Abel and John F. Leslie.: R5-639/2000E-PDF

"In 1943, the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia sent Andrew Paull (Squamish leader and a founder of the Allied Tribes of British Columbia) and Dan Assu (a Kwakiutl from the coast) to Ottawa to protest against taxes that were being levied on aboriginal fishers in BC. Within a few months, their mission had prompted ever-expanding circles of interest, drawing in aboriginal leaders from across the country determined to unite to force the government to address their many grievances. Their actions marked the beginning of the first significant change in Canadian Native policy since confederation"--Introduction, p. 1.
