Title: Field Report on a Survey of Metis and Indian Households in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, 1960-61...
Creator: J.P. or James Brady
Subject: Métis, First Nations, Indian, Society, Lifestyles, Urbanization, Racism, Brady, James
Description: When the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation came to power in Saskatchewan in 1944, Brady, a committed Socialist and Marxist, had hoped that the progressive new government would improve the plight of Aboriginal people. He therefore, became employed with the province’s Department of Natural Resources, becoming a fieldworker reporting on living conditions and socioeconomic activity of the region’s First Nations and Métis. This is one of his reports. In this document, Brady analyses the socioeconomic underpinnings of Aboriginal settlement in Prince Albert. He addresses racism, economic marginalization and sexual exploitation. This article is part of the James Brady Papers, which were donated to the Gabriel Dumont Institute in the 1990s by author and activist, Murray Dobbin. Dobbin used this collection to write his book about James Brady and Malcolm Norris entitled “The One-And-A-Half Men: The Story of Jim Brady & Malcolm Norris, Metis Patriots of the 20th Century”. Transcribed by David Morin and edited by Christine Charmbury and Darren R. Préfontaine. This document has been re-transcribed from the original and includes all spelling and grammatical errors.
