| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Wilbert McLeod. McLeod represents the Moose Factory Claimant Group, whose grandparents were "arbitrarily exluded from Treaty No. 9 in 1905 by the Treaty Commissioners." McLeod lays out his organizations claim and discusses how the ancestors of his organization were left out of Treaty 9, and how that Treaty was negotiated in an arbitrary manner by officials who did not consider how the people defined themselves. McLeod also points out that the officials did not implement the proper policy set out by Clifford Sifton to make provision for scrip for Metis families who desired it in the Treaty 9 area. Following the presentation Commissioner Robinson asks McLeod what options they have explored for redress, and McLeod states that he will only go to court against the government as a last resort. | |
