National standards : Child Welfare Program / Social Development Directorate, Indian and Inuit Affairs Program, Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.: R5-710/1982E-PDF
"Until the post war era Indians were considered by both the federal and provincial governments to be wards of the federal government. In the area of Child Welfare, because of the legal issue discussed in section D. 2) (a) DIAND made every effort to purchase from the province required Child Welfare services. In a few provinces, where conflict over legislation and payment existed, statuatory services were provided only in emergencies leaving to DIAND the responsibility to provide non-statutory and prevention programs. Over the years, DIAND did provide limited resources for non-statutory services but always on the understanding that these were provided on humanitarian grounds and because of Provincial reluctance or refusal to provide comprehensive service on reserve as per their authority and responsibility"--Background, p.
