| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Dennis Thorne. Thorne, whose Oglala Lakota (Sioux) name is Tungan Cikala, speaks on the topic of "Protection of Traditional Spiritual Beliefs." Included in his presentation are problems with the Canadian border and the guards measures there against Aboriginal holy people (Thorne argues that the Jay Treaty enshrines freedom of movement for Aboriginal people across the Canada-U.S. border), the failure of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to protect Aboriginal spirituality in practice, problems accessing traditional spiritual sites for practitioners, and a variety of other issues related to traditional spirituality. Following the presentation is a brief discussion between Thorne and Commissioners Blakeney and Chartrand on these issues. | |
