The attempt to establish a semirustic cedar furniture factory on the Cape Croker Ojibway Indian Reserve on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario was regarded as a pilot project in economic development by the Indian-Eskimo Association (IEA) of Canada and by officers of the Indian Affairs Branch (IAB) of the Canadian federal government. The purpose was to provide employment opportunities for band members of the reserve in an economically depressed area of Ontario. Initiated by Indians in April, 1963, the project passed through three stages, planning, training, and operational, and ended with the closure of the factory in October, 1967. It is demonstrated in the paper that basic mistakes were made at each stage which jeopardized any possible success the project might have had in the highly competitive furniture industry
