In August, 1975, the first issue of “The Native Perspective” was launched by the NAFC. This was the insight and vision of the NAFC Board of Directors at that time to support an expansion of the NAFC News magazine. The staff of “The Native Perspective” in 1975 were Lorne Keeper, Carman Maracle, Cliff Gazee, Sandi Bernard, Karen Rice and Mel Maracle.
“The Native Perspective” was designed to serve the information needs of Friendship Centres and PTAs, Indigenous people living in or moving to urban areas and to help facilitate and understand the aspirations to maintain our cultural identity while living in an urban environment.
We hope that you will enjoy reading past issues of the “NAFC News Magazine and The Native Perspective”. We are very honoured to have had them digitized in celebration of the NAFC’s 50th Anniversary and for your viewing and reading enjoyment.
