Pauquachin

Describes the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve and sets out the legal framework for the Sencot'en Alliance First Nations' involvement in the planning and management of the park.

File contains a presentation by Mavis Henry, social worker for the [Pauquachin] Band. Her presentation illustrates the need for better housing, mental health services and increased personal safety on First Nations. Henry states to the Commissioners that without basic security in one's own home, children grow up "victimized as there is no support from the local community or from the justice system." She hopes the Commission will ensure that "our people become powerful, healthy and strong again."
