Young Chippewayan Indian Reserve No. 107 and Mennonite Farmers in Saskatchewan.
- Authors
Doell, Leonard
- Abstract
The article presents an analysis regarding the Aboriginal-Mennonite relationships in Saskatchewan. It provides a history that led to the Young Chippewayan people losing their land and how it came to be that Mennonites acquired it. It states that the Canadian government was interested with the Mennonites and thus it took the land belonging to the Young Chippewayan Band without their consent and gave it to the Mennonites which had acquired some of the best agricultural land in the province. It determines that Mennonites have no legal obligation to intercede on the native people's behalf, only a moral obligation.
