"It‘s totally false and utterâ€" ly untrue," said Father Grenon. "It is an‘e%6use msed by some to explain away the high dégree of unemployment, poverty and other social problems which the Cree has been forced to live with." The housing conditions of the Crée settlements 1 saw can be summed up as pitiful. A minority live in government built frame hames (two bedrooms, bathroom and running water)," but for the ‘"Deep down in his heart, he resents the white man, not as a person but as an exploiter who has taken over his land and changed his way of life." 1 asked if the Cree is segreâ€" gated by the minority white popuâ€" lation in the James Bay region.

I asked this question many, many times during my three day visit to Moosonee and Moose Facâ€" tory. _ _ The Cree does not respond to the advances of a stranger. He is often sullen and rarely strikes up a conversation with an outâ€" sider in a restaurant, Hudson Bay store or railway station.

At the site of what may become the world‘s largest columbium mine this year or next, 40 miles south of Moosoâ€" nee, Cree Indians are paid the going rate, said Mr. Boyko, beâ€" cause they produce an honest day‘s work. Given the natural right to hunt, fish, trap, log, build canoes, guide or work for the railway, the Inâ€" dian will work for fair wages. If he is exploited, trapped on a reâ€" servation, or depied access to reâ€" sources which were once his, and his alone, he will ask for handâ€" outs and government welfare cheques.
