The Friendship Centre: Native People and the Organization of Community in Cities

Heather A. Howard

This chapter examines the socio-political history and culture of the Native Friendship centre, the organization which most often serves as the focal point of urban Native communities in Canada. An ethnographic perspective on the history and formation of one of the first Friendship centres, the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, provides a case study through which transformation of Native socio-political and cultural organizing is discussed in relation to the dialogical character of local and national Aboriginal issues as they impact Native people who live in cities.
