The policy wil l be settled, he said, after a consultation meet~ ing next month with representatives of Indians from across Canada. ***************** Note: Before acceptance of the new Indian Act, Indians should make certain that ~heir few remaining lands are made inviolable BY LAW. It is the last vestige of secur- it~ that we have and it behooves us to see to it that Indian lands are kept intact for posterity. Let there be no l ooP-holes in this regard.
