Scope and contentFile contains the sitting of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples at the Citadel Inn, Ottawa, Ontario, Thursday, November 26, 1992. File contains the opening prayer and opening remarks for the day's sitting which involves a round table discussion panel on justice issues. After an introduction by Murray Sinclair, Commissioner Bertha Wilson summarize's the preceding day's session, and states that "Today, we are going to address head-on the questions whether the existing justice system can be adapted to fit the needs of Native people, or whether it is so alien in its fundamental features that a seperate or parallel system needs to be put in place." Murray Sinclair then goes on to discuss the format for the day's proceedings, and Professor Brad Morse addresses some other procedural issues then introduces the first presenter.
