Wassegijig discusses the history of Aboriginal peoples in Canada with respect to formal education systems, and some of the problems that has created which now must be overcome. Simon Paul, a Dene man originally from Northern Saskatchewan, discusses Aboriginal education programs in Scarborough, Ontario for First Nations and Metis residents. Following the presentations Commissioners Sillet, Wilson, and Blakeney discuss some of the issues raised with them and then close the Commission's sitting for the day with the Eagle Heart Singers and Drummers.
