"Prior to 1964 the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration administered a Welfare Assistance Program using national benefit structures and rates. Schedules for food allowances were established by the Department of National Health and Welfare. Moreover, bands with resources were required to set aside a portion of their revenue funds from trust accounts to meet the cost of welfare assistance and funeral costs to indigent band members. That system facilitated Program and expenditure control but created problems in relating programs and services to the diverse social and economic conditions of Indian people across the country; inequities in assistance and services available to Indians residing on and apart from reserves and between Indian and non-Indian people; and, impediments to Indian band governments in program design and delivery"--Background, p.
