When Freedom Is Lost The Dark Side of the Relationship between Government and the Fort Hope Band The devastating impact of the policies and programs of the federal govern- ment on the Indian people of Canada is illustrated forcefully in this important and revealing study of the Fort Hope band. [...] Professor Harry Hawthorn was in charge of the project, which investigated the life-style of approximately 35, 000 of the 200, 000 Indians in the country, and in 1967 the findings were published in a landmark document titled A Survey of the Contemporary Indians of Canada. [...] Many of the facts and arguments in the chapters that follow were brought to the attention of both the federal and Ontario governments in 1976. [...] When the heyday of the fur trade had passed, the people began to settle near the post, and by the midpoint of this century it was surrounded by a tiny collection of makeshift log houses and shacks. [...] We were told that he was the ringleader, the one who had arranged to bring in the liquor by chartered plane and the one who had led his friends on the rampage the night before.
