| Scope and content | File contains a series of questions by Commissioner Georges Erasmus and responses from assembled relocatees. Commissioner Erasmus asks earlier presenter AN whether or not her husband recieved the ten dollars promised him by an RCMP officer for undertaking an arduous voyage by dog sled to which AN replies that he did not. AN also discusses some of the hardships the relocatees faced obtaining food and shelter in their new surroundings. Commissioner Erasmus then asks the relocatees whether there was any encouragement from the first wave who arrived in the High Arctic in 1953, to bring relatives north during the second wave in 1955. SA, SE, and LA respond allege that the police manipulated people in the second wave into coming North to join their relatives. | |
