Documents & Presentations
Description
This file contains a presentation by Graham Tuplin focusing on off-reserve Aboriginals in Canada. Tuplin makes a number of recommendations, including that the Royal Commission add equity of access to the Commission's list of four touchstones, and that the federal government stop its policy of cutting funding to Aboriginal groups that are not bands, not northern and not Department of Indian Affairs supported, as equity of access must begin with a equal chance to be heard. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
