Scope and contentFile contains a presentation by Jeff Baldwin, Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace. Baldwin discusses his organization's view of Canadian Aboriginal issues, particularly with regard to economic and spiritual concerns. One key problem he highlights is a great deal of ignorance of Aboriginal society and culture amongst Non-Aboriginal peoples, or as he puts it "We can see this quite easily as a problem for the non-Aboriginal society. Aboriginal people are compelled to encounter our society and our culture. We are not. It is this lack of understanding that we hope to overcome in the Diocese of Prince Albert." Following the presentation Commissioners Erasmus and Blakeney discuss some of these issues with Baldwin.
