Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Mark LaForme, Director of Self-Government, Indian Commission of Ontario

This file contains a presentation by Mark LaForme relating to his experiences in negotiations with First Nations, Ontario and the federal governments in the area of self-government. He refers to not the overall governance of a community, but with specific matters such as policing agreements for First Nations, and joint stewardship of resources immediately adjacent to First Nations communities. The First Nations negotiations that LaForme has been involved with look for practical, realistic solutions to problems that face Aboriginal people every day. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
