Alberta Indian Chiefs meet with Prime Minister and Minister of Indian Affairs about White Paper on Indian Policy, 1970. Source: Library and Archives Canada, 3533979<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nIn 1969 the federal government launched a re-examination of its Indian policies. In an effort to reform those policies, the Department of Indian Affairs issued a policy document known as a White Paper. The department declared its intention to grant full citizenship rights to Canada\u2019s Indigenous population and eliminate all Indian rights, which it considered discriminatory. In response, the Indian Chiefs of Alberta prepared a response document called \u201cCitizens Plus,\u201d which came to be known as the Red Paper. This document challenged the 1969 white paper and set out a different set of proposals to redefine the place of Indigenous people in Canada.\r\n\r\nIn this module, you will read selections from both the White Paper and the Red Paper. You will also read the secondary analysis of historian Leon Crane Bear.\r\n\r\nThis module includes:\r\n
