In Committee from the Senate of Canada
Aboriginal Peoples - September 26, 2017
The committee continues its study on what a new relationship between the federal government and First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada could look like. Viola Robinson discusses her experience as a commissioner with the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. The Commission was mandated to investigate and propose solutions to the challenges affecting the relationship between Aboriginal peoples, the Canadian government and Canadian society as a whole. It released its final report in 1996. Inuit Leader Tagak Curley then shares his thoughts on the current status of Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples. He served as an MLA and cabinet minister in the Nunavut legislative assembly, and also served in the Northwest Territories legislative assembly.
