Nigel Morgan Backs Brotherhood ©
Demand For Full Citizenship Rights -

Concréte proposals for solution of the serious economic, and social problems facing native Indians in
B.C. featured the fifteenth annual convention of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia at Alert

Major proposals for alleviation of economic problems concerning the fishing and fur industry, which
are the main sources of livelihood for a large section of the 25,000 Indians in the province, were placed
before the close to 1,000 who attended the meeting.

‘Granting of equal rights of
citizenship with other Canadians
and a Royal Commission with
Indian representatition to make a
comprehensive survey of their
problems were among the many
measures considered and adopted.

An outstanding feature of this
year’s meet was the strong sup-
port for Indian rights voiced by
representatives of organized labor
in B.C. Speaking to the opening
session, Nigel Morgan, IWA inter-
national board member and labor
candidate for parliament in Co-
mox-Alberni, pledged his_union’s
complete backing of the Brother-
hood’s efforts to achieve remedies
for their longstanding and burn-
ing grievances.

Morgan backed the demands
of the Indians for full citizenship
rights and parliamentary repre-
sentation without interference with
treaty rights of land titles, rights
similar to those which have been
gained by the Maoris of New Zea-

land.
The labor leader also pledged
