1969 White Paper

1969 White Paper

Bold text"'The 1969 White Paper was a Canadian policy document (white paper) in which the then Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chrétien, proposed the abolition of the Indian Act of Canada, the rejection of land claims, and the assimilation of First Nations people into the Canadian population with the status of other ethnic minorities rather than a distinct group. A response by Harold Cardinal and the Indian Chiefs of Alberta (entitled "Citizens Plus" but commonly known as the "Red Paper") explained the widespread opposition to the paper from Status Indians in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and the Liberals began to back away from the White Paper, particularly after the Calder case decision in 1973.
