Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Individual Presentation by Cindy Gilday

File contains an individual presentation by Cindy Gilday of Fort Franklin, NWT. She tells the Commission about the 398 unmarked graves in the Deh Cho (formerly a residential school) Hall yard and says that unmarked graves are "a very significant symbol of opporession, the ultimate symbol as far as the Dene are concerned." She states that her father was present at the Treaty signings in 1911 and 1921 and feels the Canadian government has not fulfilled any of the treaties' terms. Gilday also discusses the environment and her involvement as the first Indigenous person to sit on the Royal Conservation Union, representing 119 countries concerned with conservation.
