Scope and content | This file contains a part of a transcript of a portion of a sitting of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This part contains an individual presentation by Maggie Paul, who arrived late for the hearings. Her presentation focuses on the Alexander First Nation in Alberta, where social problems abounded in the 1980s. The residents joined together to hold cultural and recreational events in an abandoned school building on the First Nation. Paul states that because the adult residents pulled together to save their community from substance abuse and family violence, the children and youth are learning about their culture and are learning to understand themselves. | |
