History
The Indian-Eskimo Association of Canada had its origins in the Canadian Association for Adult Education when the CAAE appointed a committee to study the problems of natives living off the reserve. It was active in fund raising, organizing workshops to discuss native housing, and community and economic development. The headquarters for the Association were in Toronto, Ontario, until 1973 when it moved to Ottawa, Ontario. At this time the IEA changed its name to Canadian Association in Support of Native Peoples «
