Vice-President of the organization discusses his organization's role providing information and entertainment to the Inuvialuit (Inuit) of the Western Arctic; the importance of media and communications; their newspaper and television operations; revitalizing the Inuit language and culture via media; the cultural effects of southern mass media on the Inuit; funding, equipment, and staffing concerns; and a recommendation to the Commission that Aboriginal peoples get the same resources and consideration for their broadcasters as French and English Canadians do.
Vice-Chairman of Corporation discusses racism in Canada and its' impact on Aboriginal peoples, a lack of recognition of Aboriginal organizations as legitimate governing bodies and a suggestion to the Commission to "replace the system as it stands now and replace it with one that gives equal stature and governing powers to all." Chairman Hansen then presents on Aboriginal languages, the education system in the Northwest Territories, unequal treatment afforded French, problems facing Aboriginal professionals; and double standards in policing and justice systems.
