THE HERALD, TERRACE —'KITIMAT, B.C.

EDMONTON (CP) -— Harold
Cardinal, one of Canada’s most
vocal Indian spokesmen, re-
signed Tuesday as president of
the Indian Association of Al-
berta “‘to become involved in
the day-to-day problems of the
reserve,”

The 26-year-old leader of
28,000 Alberta Indians an-
nounced his decision at a news
conference where his successor,
Clarence McHugh, 64, was
introduced.

Mr. Cardinal said he was re-
signing because his relationship
with Indian Affairs Minister
Jean Chretien had deteriorated
“ > the point where our person-
alities were becoming the
issue.”

He said as long as he re-

mained president, the associa-
tion would’be denied the chance
of another hearing before the
Commons Indian affairs com-
mittee to clear up “innuendas"
made last month about the or-
ganization’s accounting.
The “personal animosity” be-
tween Mr. Cardinal and Mr.
Chretien began in 1969 when the
federal government published
its white paper on Indian policy,
advocating removal of the Indi-
ans’ special status and the turn-
ing aver of reserve lands to
band councils under the juris-
diction of provincial - govern-
ments.

Mr. Cardinal and Alberta In-
dian chiefs replied with: their
own “red paper" which led to
the federal proposal being
shelved.

Last November, Mr. Cardinal
charged that Mr. Chretien had
delayed payment of funds to the
association to force an end to
the protests. Mr. Chretien said
he withheld the funds because
$130,000 of $320,000 allocated to
the association had not been ac-
counted for.
