Description

Generally considered a sympathetic portrayer of the Canadian Indian, Duncan Campbell Scott revealed in his writings his real beliefs about the conditions and future of Canada's Native people. During his long and turbulent tenure as Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, his response to challenges such as the making of treatises in northern Ontario, land claims in British Columbia, and the status of the Six Nations underscored his beliefs that the Indians did not have any legitimate grievances and that the Department knew best.
