A Response from the Perspective of a Mohawk from the Bay of Quinte

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
January 1983

Abstract

It should be amply clear that exposure to the society of the dominant culture has not been good for the Indians of Canada. Concerns for their future welfare based on lack of familiarity and fear of the unknown can be very misguided. In the end, native people, if given control over thier own affairs, will take over and manage their affairs well in their own interest.

Résumé

Tous devraient reconnaître que l'exposition aux valeurs sociales de la culture dominante a porté préjudice aux Indiens du Canada. Les préoccupations en ce qui concerne leur bien-être dans l'avenir fondées sur une piètre connaissance de la réalité et sur une crainte de l'inconnu peuvent être très mal avisées. En définitive, si on lui donne la responsibilité de gérer ses propres affaires, le peuple autochtone prendra la relève et administrera sagement ses affaires au mieux de ses intérêts.
