| Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Chief Jerry Fontaine | |
| Description: | File contains a presentation by Chief Jerry Fontaine, Sagkeeng First Nation. Fontaine delivers a critique of the record of Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservative government arguing that "the track record of this government on listening to its citizens is one that leaves much to be desired. I think this is what troubles me most about this exercises [the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples]." Fontaine presents a variety of Canadian Constitutional, Treaty relationship, and Department of Indian and Northern Affairs concerns. He goes on to give some brief history of the Anicinabe people, discusses the growing problem of Aboriginal poverty, and states that self-governance is a desirable goal which must be pursued. |
