Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by William Andersen III focusing primarily on land claims of the Labrador Inuit. Andersen expresses disappointment with the Commissioners being unable to "intervene in difficulties between any individual organization and the governments that it has to deal with." Andersen has been involved with land claims negotiations in the past and is frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations. He also discusses the inability of freighter ships to get to Nain with supplies in winter and thinks the federal government's solution of flying in supplies would be too costly. A lengthy question-and-answer period with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
