Presenter from Inuvialuit claims to be at the sitting to "represent the voice of the Inuit who have been silenced by our Inuit leaders." Carpenter gives her view of the High Arctic Relocation program, and makes allegations that members of the Inuit community threatened to have her murdered if she spoke out about any issues to the Commission.
Presenter discusses bias towards Aboriginal people in the mainstream Canadian media, the role of Aboriginal media in achieving self-determination, its role in healing Aboriginal communities, and his personal experiences as an Aboriginal journalist. Following the presentation Commissioners Chartrand and Erasmus discuss some of the issues raised.
