Natives fight The government is slow- ly chipping away at native rights, said a group of about 40 who gathered last Thursday to protest a move cutting educational subsidies. And further, said some in the group, it is 'pro- moting discrimination bet- ween urban natives and those who live on reserves. At issue was a federal»"- subsidy of $30 for school supplies granted to native children which, until recently, was given to both on- and_ off-reserve Indians. Five years ago the government dropped ll non-reserve Indians from the list of those receiving Ren. Pick up complimentary bins at: YCLine' the subsidy. The local Beausoleil Band, which controls the Christian Island reserve, continued to subsidize those children living in town. But this year the band dropped the so-called "'ur- ban natives"' from the list. When the children went to the local school-supply store to pick up their $30 worth of goods, off-reserve euler were turned away empty-handed. "The government is say- ing the people on the reserve are 'the people' and us over here are nothing," said one Indian at the meeting.

The meeting was held in the basement of the Georgian Bay Friendship Centre on Midland Avenue. A representative of the Department of In- dian Affairs was on-hand, and he became the target of some ill feeling among the natives toward the govern- ment in general. "What does the govern- ment want to see?" said one woman attending the meeting. "A bunch of non- educated Indians? That's what it's going to be." Also attending the meeting were the prin- cipals of Midland's two high schools. Midland Secondary a 3438) GP aE = GENE EES =] aon AWG School principal Dave Chambers said 'native children not living on Christian Island were perceived as being disad- vantaged." He said he knew of one woman whose children lost the $30 sub- sidy who now "perceives herself as less of a person."' Beausoleil Band Chief Bev McCue also showed up at the meeting and said he was as surprised as anyone to find the govern- ment subsidy was cut. He said the band would try to find the money anyway, and that he would bring the natives' concerns to a meeting of Ontario Indian Chiefs later this month. ND 513 Dominion Ave., E.
