Description
File contains a presentation by Bernard Saladin D'Anglure, Department of Anthropology of Laval University. D'Anglure discusses his work and experiences with Aboriginal culture, particularly with regard to the Inuit people. D'Anglure discusses how he thinks cultural development and education is key to healing Aboriginal societies, and that political autonomy, while important, is not the only thing which must be done. Following his presentation the assembled Commissioners thank him for his thoughts.
