Description
"We were very frequently asked: 'what are you going to do after a hundred years in order to give the Indian man his equality. What are you going to do after a hundred years to make sure there's no discrimination against him, that he will become a full Canadian, not a special Canadian, and so on'" (p. [1], Statement by the Prime Minister at a meeting with the Indian Association of Alberta and the National Indian Brotherhood).
