Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Jaypeetie Akpallaluk, Mayor, Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories

File contains a presentation by Jaypeetie Akpallaluk, Mayor, Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories, who begins by comparing the "qallunaaq" (European) way of life and the Inuit way of life and how the two do not work together well. He states that Inuit culture is being lost and that the wisdom and knowledge of elders is not being utilized by younger generations. He hopes that the future government of Nunavut will provide more funding to allow the creation of much-needed cultural, educational and family programs in Pangnirtung. Following the presentation is a discussion with Co-Chair Rene Dussault.
