| Scope and content | This file consists of a presentation by Floyd Favel, Artistic Director of the only professional Aboriginal theatre company in Toronto. Favel states that culture is the cornerstone of all civilizations, and having people understand the importance of culture "is an uphill battle." Favel believes that if "you concentrate on culture it alleviates many, many other problematic areas because...you are dealing directly with a person's feelings, ideas and memories. He appeals to the Commissioners for any funding from government sources to help the Theatre continue. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
