Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Chief Norm Wesley that provides a brief history of the Moose Factory area, mentioning in particular the fur trade and the Hudson's Bay Company. Wesley states that Aboriginal peoples can't go back to their original way of life and calls upon the elders in the community to keep the traditional ways alive by sharing their knowledge with the youth. Wesley has seen progress with families and the community due to his First Nations' efforts, and comments that violent confrontations with police and authorities are not advocated by his First Nation. | |
