In 1965 a community development program on Indian reserves in Canada developed because of the failure of previous assimilation strategies, federal concerns about the dependence of First Nations peoples on social assistance, and the idea that the provinces ought to do more to assist Indians to full citizenship. This article explores the postwar history leading up to the program, its implementation and impact on the Indian Affairs bureaucracy, and its influence on the status of First Nations in Canada.
