Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Chief Gerald Beaucage of the Nipissing First Nation. Chief Beaucage discusses the demographic composition of his First Nation, Bill C-31, on and off-reserve populations, housing issues, the Nation's land base and related land issues, a proposed "First Nation Chartered Land Act" with 17 components, land claims, education concerns, and language concerns. Much of Chief Beaucage's presentation follows a semi-discussion style format with the assembled Commissioners asking questions, and Band Members Dot Beaucage-Kennedy, and Joan McLeod, also contributing to the dialogue. | |
