Rick Stow (Interviewer)

Interview with Albert McBride, former chief of the Saugeen Anishnabai (Timiskaming Band) of the Algonquin Nation about Native land claims and the sale of Native land. McBride begins with a discussion of the hereditary boundaries of the First Nation in 1854 and describes the exploitation of the land for timber, the fire of 1922, and the land surrender of 1939. On the topic of the land surrender, McBride explains how the land surrender was understood by the band, the promises that were not kept regarding payment, and the events and relationships of the 1939 surrender. Other topics include: farming revenues, cultural supression and revival, the process of religious conversion, schooling, and the Quebec Government's role in the Oka Crisis. He concludes with an overview of the accomplishments during his tenure as chief.
