National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Canada.
The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you concerning the important
matter of teaching the minorities of Canada.
He has spoken in some detail to Miss Harvey(56) concerning the subject,
and she can and will amplify this communication.
He feels it most important that active work be done in connection with the
French Canadians, Eskimos, and Indians. You are also now actively in touch
with the Poles and Ukrainians in your country.
In order to intensify this work, the Guardian feels you should establish a
Minorities Teaching Committee, with sub-committees to specialize in the
teaching of French Canadians, Eskimos, and Indians. As the work spreads,
you can add other sub-committees, such as one for Eastern Europe, or the
countries under active consideration. In other words, sub-committees might
be formed for regional areas of the globe, where their people form a
goodly number of inhabitants of Canada.
Thus you would now have a Minorities Committee, with sub-committees to
specialize in the teaching work of the Eskimos, another sub-committee for
the Indians, another for the French Canadians, and another one for the
Poles and Ukrainians.
With loving Baha'i greetings, I am,
Faithfully yours,
LEROY IOAS.
