Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Dennis McLeod, President of Stanley Mission Metis Local and Gabriel Dumont Insitute Representative

File contains a presentation by Dennis McLeod, Presdient of the Stanley Mission Metis Local, and Gabriel Dumont Institute Area Representative. McLeod discusses a variety of issues effecting his community including the negative impact of Bill C-31, the need for parallel institutions for his people with equal scope and power as status Indian Band governments, the need for a Metis land base that the Metis themselves can effectively administer, the virtues of a co-operative approach to game management rather than the adversarial one which he feels characterizes the contemporary Saskatchewan government approach, and the difficulty of working with First Nations people when unequal relations persist between the two communities. Following the presentation Commissioners Chartrand and Erasmus question him on, and discuss with him some of these issues.
