| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by members of the "Making Adult Decisions" (M.A.D.) Youth Group of Kahnawake discussing problems relating to race relations between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals, and relations with the outside police forces, RCMP and Surete du Quebec, that patrol the Kahnawake area. The group has conducted cultural exchanges with Canadian non-Aboriginal youth and with youth from former Soviet republics. M.A.D. knows that their generation will be the future leaders of the Mohawk people, and they have represented Canada at youth conferences across Canada and the United States since 1984.. The group calls on the Commission to ensure funding will continue for this vital group to represent Mohawk and Aboriginal youth in local, provincial, national and international venues. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
