Scope and content | File contains a presentation by three Algonquin bands: Jean-Maurice Matchewan (Lac Barriere), Harry St. Denis (Wolf Lake), and Carol McBride (Timiskaming). This presentation on behalf of all three First Nations gives a brief historical background of the Algonquin people, an overview of their contemporary conditions, the outstanding claim of the Algonquin nation, relations with the Department of Indian Affairs, and a summary and policy recommendations to the Commission. St-Denis alleges political interference by the Department of Indian Affairs in attempting to divide the Algonquin First Nations into two rival tribal councils. Commissioners Dussault, Blakeney and Robinson discuss some of the issues raised with the presenters. | |
