Argues that the Métis were not an impediment to Euro-Canadian development and that their fight to be recognized as a "New Nation" played a significant role in the creation of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Speakers discuss how the Act has defined the government's and Crown's relationship with First Nations peoples; how it has impeded development of communities; and how fundamental changes are needed to give First Nations' control over governance and the ability to develop mechanisms to improve access to capital.
