Author Description

In the spring of 1992, Council began a year-long study of the needs and concerns of First Nation senior citizens in Ontario. Within the limitations of its resources, Council decided to concentrate primarily on the specific issues affecting native seniors living on reserves and in unceded territory. Council did, however, meet with some native seniors who had lived in Toronto for most of their adult lives. This report is based on facts and experiences shared with Council members by native seniors, chiefs, service providers, and family members. It provides First Nation profiles.
