History
The Indian Community Branch was established in 1970 as the Indian Community Development Services Branch. It assumed the responsibilities of the Indian Development Branch of the Ontario Department of Social and Family Services. The new branch was located in the Ontario Department of the Provincial Secretary and Citizenship. In December 1970 it was renamed simply the Indian Community Branch, and in 1971 it was included in the Community Services Division.
When the Department of Provincial Secretary and Citizenship was disbanded in 1972, the Indian Community Branch was moved to the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. In 1974 it became known as the Indian Community Secretariat.

Maintenance notes
Canadiana indicates that this branch was formed in November, 1966. This is incorrect, since the branch was known as the Indian Development Branch until 1970.
