I was born in Toronto in 1946 and grew up in Oakville, halfway between the cities of Hamilton and Toronto. During my boyhood I cannot recall a single reference in public or high school to the Mississauga First Nations, Ojibwe-speakers who call themselves, “Anishinabe” (meaning in English, “human being”), or in its plural form, “Anishinabeg.” I do not remember meeting anyone in Oakville who self-identified as “Indian.” Indigenous people did not enter into the conversation.

Money came pouring into the BBC Radio Furness show as part of the nation-wide charity appeal that make a total of £31,529,58 up until that year. The £30,000 barrier was broken just before the end of the Ron Duxbury auction. According to senior producer Aileen Ross, the total was already more than £11,000 up on the previous year’s donation of £19,725. The auction raised £750 and included a weekend for two in London, which was donated by Patrick and Jane O’Hare of Marton Close, Dalton.
