y| The first step towards
igpchieving equality for non-
status Indians in Terrace was
ken Tuesday nighl, - .

Field worker Ann: House of

B.C. Association of Non-Status

in Indians was in town to officially

welcome Terrace local 118 to
iF the family.

Recently appointed Chairman
£ Willard Seymour of the Terrace

local said that no definate
conditions of non-status Indians
in Terrace as yet been
determined. The new group will
make this survey their’ first
venture.

He did say, however, that the
number of non status Indians in
the area is quite high.

Local spokesmen from the

: Department of Indian Affairs in

Terrace say that they have had
no contact with the group in the
past. They also say the nan-
status Indian is not’ really
recognized by the government.
Under a brief interpretation
of the government's view a non
status Indian is one who is born
of Indian blood or race but who

does not attain Indian status,

This status can be lost in
several ways. The most
frequent way results from the
intermarriage | of Indian and
white people.

Indian partners in these
intermarriages-. voluntarily
relingquish their status and are
not’ clearly designated to
reserve or white eomnamaalty
types af. living.

Children being born into these
families also fit into the non-
status group.

Spokesmen from the local
group say that they will
probably follow ihe paths of
other non-status’ organizations
in the province. They will
search for improvements on
housing, education and dob
unemployemnt. .

The funds needed ta begin any

of these projects will have to be
raised locally and this is the
chief purpose of forming the
Terrace group.

The recently appointed
Native Council of Canada just
managed a million dollar
government grant which will go
towards helping the non status.
and Metis. Indians . .in.- the.
country,

The local group wil receive a
$50 assistance to begin with but
the major fund raising lies in
the hands of the local people,

Terrace Secrelary-Treasurer
Della Nelson said the. main
mriority at the moment is a
membership drive. Before any
real steps can be taken: the
Broup will have to build up a
firm membership and as Mr.
Seymour said, “Put our heads
together."

Anyone interested i in joining
the fight ean attend Thursday
nights’ meeting at the West
Kalum Reserve. Members will
be accepted at $1 per Indian

member and $2 for non- .

Indians. Another main topic at
the Thursday meeting will be
the making of constitution

‘regarding our Opportunities for -

wishes me to ask what the
guidelines were in making an
application for the necessary

“As [ am sure you are aware,
our Municipality went to great
detail in preparing its brief and

had lined-yp an active program,.-*:

and yet we are the only
community, within 500 miles
that has not received j a -prant.

“We are. currently
experiencing Youth Groups

collecting information about
Senior Citizens homes, etc.
These Youth Groups are coming
from Vancouver, some 900

the point of. obtaining the
