Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by James Kavana and Moses Koihok, Elders, Cambridge Bay

File contains a presentation by James Kavana and Moses Koihok that first provides a brief history of Cambridge Bay. The presenters state that "we would have been better off out in our own hunting grounds away from the settlement" of Cambridge Bay but with the forced 1950s relocation of Inuit into the settlement created a culture and lifestyle crisis for those Inuit who were relocated. John Maksagak, Commissioner for the Day, adds some remarks about the history of Cambridge Bay and his experiences growing up in an alcohol-free environment. A brief question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
