Letter to the People
To the People,
The Tribal Council has conti
nued on a very busy schedule.
After a presentation by Ken
Smith and Dennis Karnopp, we
authorized them to proceed on
three ideas which will be pre
sented to you. First is the setting
aside of tribal funds for senior
citizens pension and secondly
for tribal scholarships. This move
would fund these purposes for
several years. The third item is
the western wear shirt factory
which is looking very feasible.
A successful delegation to
Washington D.C. was completed
with overviews presented on
the upcoming congressional appro

tribal officials will be bringing
back a specific proposal which
should allow good growth for

Indian leadership from the
United States and Canada have
met and signed an International
Indian Mutual Assistance Pact.
The ceremony was attended by
Indian dignitaries and selected
guests from both the U.S. and
Canada. The historic meeting
took place on February 13,1986
at 1 1:00 a.m. in the New Orleans

event was heralded as a unique
and progressive step toward
uniting the Indians of the North
American continent.
In addition to signing the
Pact, elected Indian representa
tives from Canada and the United
States held a joint press confe

their people. Issues that were
addressed included needs of the
non-status and off-reservation
Native peoples, federal govern

rection, cooperation between se
lected urban Indian organiza
tions, and measures that will
enhance future relations on both
sides of the border.

the 800,000 urban and rural
Indians and Alaska Natives of
the United States was a delega

National Urban Indian Council.
According to the President of
the Council, Elizabeth Stately:
"While we have enjoyed a
long standing relationship with
the leadership of Canada, this is
the first time we have actually
decided to formally pursue some
common problems in a unified
effort. The mutual understanding
we have of governmental prac
tices and policies, coupled with
ever tightening budgets and finan
i cial support, make this upcoming
meeting even more important."
The Canadian delegation was
led by Viola Thomas, President
of the National Association of
Friendship Centres. This organi
