Native Peoples' Historical Political Events
Fill in the answers to the following questions on this timeline of Native politics. The text reading and Native Notes should help you.

In 1969, the government's White Paper proposed to abolish the Indian Act and dismantle the Department of Indian Affairs. Native concerns would then become a provincial responsibility. Native protests over this proposal made the federal government back down (this part is misplaced...should come later)
