Scope and content	File contains a presentation by Apenam Pone discussing the effects of alcohol abuse on the Innu people. Two-thirds of Innu adults have difficulty with alcohol, caused "by the lack of power and control over their lives, lack of control of education, social services, religion and the justice system." Due to the lack of control, the Innu culture is weakened and people feel they lack power to direct their lives and the lives of their children. Pone calls on the Commission to help end the inadequate funding of treatment centres in terms of wages and programming budgets.
