| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Garry Standing, a post-secondary student from the Wahpeton Dakota Nation. Standing describes himself as someone who has spent his entire life on reserve until the September before the Commission. The purpose of his presentation is to relay his "experiences from the last eight or nine months. Some of them have been positive and some of them have been negative." He discusses attending the University of Regina, but having to withdraw due to financing changes in Indian Affairs policy. He complains of paternalism and condescension in the approach of Indian Affairs. Standing then goes on to detail a number of concerns relating to financing and policy issues as they pertain to First Nations post-secondary students. Following the presentation is a discussion between Standing and Commissioners Chartrand, Wilson, and Erasmus on the issues and allegations raised in the presentation. | |
