Actually, while the education of Catholic Indian school children is assured for the majority of the population, there are, throughout the Provinces, and Vicar Apostolic of James Bay more especially in British Columbia, hundreds of Catholic children Ottawa, March 13, 1956 who have no facilities to receive an education in accordance with the tenets of the Catholic religion.

The Catholic Hierarchy has clearly gone on record regarding the so-called (' public" schools, which are in practice, and for all purpose and intent, non-denominational (and therefore non-Catholic) in every Canadian Province and Territory] except Quebec. Where there are no Separate Catholic schools in existence, or where the shall number of pupils would not justify the maintenance of a Separate school, the Bishops, and they alone, can authorize a Catholic parent (or parents) to send their children to a "public" school. DUTIES OF PARENTS In many parts of Canada there are still majority groups of the Catholic faith who have not been provided with schools under Catholic auspices, in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Act, S. 117 , S.120 and S. 121. Every effort is being made by the Church authorities to remedy this situation. On the other hand there are hundreds of Catholic Indian parents who , unmindful of their duties and obligations, do no hesitate to sacrifice the Faith, and often the morals, of their children in agreeing to send them to public schools. WhUe it is the strict duty of every Bishop, in accordance with Canon Law to see to it that every Catholic child be provided with educational facilities under Catholic auspices, it is also the duty of the parents to co-operate in this matter. There are many places where a Catholic school could be established if Catholic parents enforced their claims to the right of a Catholic education, in keeping with the provisions of the Indian Act. In other places, the combined efforts of Indian and non-Indian Catholic parents could justify the establishment of Separate schools where none would be feasible if either the non-Indians or the Indians themselves did not wish to work together. This is a vital and timely issue which we put forward not only as the most important topic of study but as an urgent motive for immediate action on the part of the Catholic Indians of Canada. No Crown :Minister would enforce a policy of "integration" which would be contrary of the provisions of the Indian Act. The Department

(Translated by Roy lewis) BEFORE the coming oj the missionaries the Indians had NO scientijic explanation oj the various phenomena in nature. So giving jree rein to their im-agination they made up wonderjul stories to explain nature's mysteries. This legend of the James Bay Indians tells oj the unbelievable adventure oj Tchigapash who made the jirst interplanetary voyage and created night by catching the sun in his trap. In olden times, in Indian lands, night and its darkness were un­ known. The earth was bathed in perpetual daylight.
