- A second part of Walter Rudnicki's "Canada's Dirty Little Secret: A Race-Based Policy to Extinguish Aboriginal Nations With Finality" (item UM_mss331_A10-039_010_0001_001_0001). This installment, also published under the name Eagle Shield, discusses historical and contemporary initiatives of the Canadian government to assimilate indigenous peoples entirely into the larger Canadian population, thus destroying discrete indigenous cultures. The events described in the article took place over a period spanning from 1913 to the late 1980s. A handwritten note at the end of this facsimile transmission says "final chapter pending"; this chapter does not appear to be included in this collection. While the paper itself is undated, the transmission is timestamped 6 March 2000.
