Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Boyce Richardson, Author. Richardson discusses his own work with and among Aboriginal people over the preceding forty years, and the views he has developed in the process. Richardson specifically discusses his experiences with the Algonquin people of Barrier Lake, Quebec, as well as across the country and makes a recommendation to the Commission that it tell Canadians that "these days are over. the Aboriginal people are here to stay; that they are becoming more and more articulate and killed at defending themselves; that what they are asking for is entirely reasonable and that Canada, if it is a country devoted to fairness and justice as we all believe it should be, should now begin to deal fairly and justly with a people who have suffered enough." Following Richardson's address Commissioners Blakeney and Dussault discuss some of the issues raised in his presenation with him. | |
