(August 30, 2012, 2:46 pm)After Jean Chretien's "1969 White Paper" and its solution to remove the Indian Problem. The Department of Health Canada erected a bungalow Rapid lake Nursing Out post in 1972 within the Community for its members and tourist from the Cabonga Lodge. In 1962 band members were once again relocated to a new Community site by the Department of Indian Affairs, Localisation of Band Members during this era was for encroachment purposes and the process of assimilation and segration.
The Nursing Out-post purpose at this time was to demographicly tallythe newborns and deceased. First aid was limited to the people and solely for the purpose of providing vaccincations and telephoning the ambulance services located in Le Domaine which was 35km from the reserve or 45minutes
The title of the location is what brought about the insight of my Community. It was untrievalbe by its original name. Rapid Lake Indian Reserve. Kitiganik
