Indians Stand By Promised Land Amid Alberta Move
An elderly Indian chief Robert Smallboy vows to fight a provincial act limiting public camping on crown land after leading 143 band members from the Erminskin reserve in 1968 to Mukiki Lake area. He seeks title to 72 square miles and plans to settle despite schooling and employment changes. The group lives in tents with family units, avoids gambling, drinking, and drugs, and relies on federal aid.
