| Scope and content | File contains remarks by Winston McKay, Metis Addictions Corporation of Saskatchewan. McKay relates some of his own life story and battle with addictions, as well as the larger struggle of northern Metis communities to cope with the destruction of their traditional economy, and transition into dependency on government. McKay discusses how treatment approaches intended for Status Indian and Non-Aboriginal society do not work for his people, and the lack of adequate funding his organization faces. He highlights many of the problems faced by Metis Communities, and then makes some policy recommendations to help deal with them. Following the presentation is a short conversation between McKay and Commissioners Chartrand and Erasmus. | |
