Quebec part of Quebec, but an area surrounded by the Province of Quebec. The United Church on the reserve was established in the 1800's and buit fromn old field stone. In 1968 they raised $5,000 to renovate the church. It now has new pews and a red carpet. The average attend- ance at the church is approx- imately 60 people. There are 320 United Churcb members on the reserve. The services are conducted in Mohawk and English. In conclusion, the speaker commented that reservations were established by the fed- eral government to protect the Indian culture, so it would not be exploited, and the reserva- tion was home to the Indians. However,' many people regard the reservations as a place wbere the Indians were put and forgotten about. Forget- ting about the Indian popula- tion bas led to tragedy for these people, not onljy as f ar as money is concerned, but also human lives. 11e stated that we can't force oui- way of life on tbem, but we should meet them more than balf way. They should bc giveni the cboice to accept or reject oui' way of life. Much suftering had been caused by "do good in a burry"' groups, and he emphasized the need for patience. Rev. Montgomery added that the Indian people have proegressed and will continue to do SO at tbeir own pace. He was introduced by Rotar- ian Don Morris and tbanked by Rotarian Merrili Brown.
