Abstract

The way in which the native people of British Columbia got located in small reserves of useless land during the 1930's which the government found non-productive and assumed that this would force the natives to learn the habits of industry, thrift and materialism is described. Irrespective of all odds the native people have stood out and lived a life of their own, sometimes adjusting to the changes and other times voicing their opinion against the system is also discussed.
