Ele ment said. There is a sense modern composers Are urging change and this was change and a result revolution of of the the modern world he said. But or. James disagreed. I can t help feeling the Ial and Federal governments hereby tax revenues could be hared with the Indian band Council and used to finance Al Ohol abuse programs. Chiefs and mayors in Many Northern Manitoba commune ies Are trying drastically to control the flow of liquor on to heir settlements or. Smith Aid. Some chiefs have placed heir reserves under prohibit Lon he added. Often the Only Way a Resi Lent in a dry Reserve can Obain alcohol is to charter an aircraft to the nearest liquor outlet sometimes hundreds f Miles away. A joint Effort by the Federal departments of health and Wel Are and Indian affairs is being undertaken in 1975-76 to assist Dian and inuit people in fighting alcohol abuse or. Smith said. The funding for his undertaking is being stepped up to million from million last year. The program is to be devel oped in consultation with naive groups across Canada and is based on the principle that he most effective Way of Deal ing with the problem is to give native people themselves the Lead role in developing and carrying out measures of prevention and rehabilitation. Or. Smith said a National advisory Board consisting of senior members of the two Feder a 1 government departments and representatives of National Indian and inuit associations will give guidance and direction to the program. As Wen regional advisory boards will be formed on the same basis in each province and with the provincial and Territo rial governments invited to participate. The government has taken a move in the right direction by involving natives in their fight against alcohol or. Smith concluded. I be Lieve though that the Mil lion allotted to this nationwide program would allow at the most Only preliminary study of the problem. The Only see the pro Gram operating to full Poten tial would be to let the Region Al advisory boards decide Bow much Money they required for their particular area. In this manner satisfactory budgets could be arrived at to suit the specific needs of each music in t so much a reflect lion of our society As it s Juan Effort of trying to be Dif Ferent from everyone or.
