Aboriginal self-government: What Next?

Page 5

In this issue of Windspeaker we take a look at self-government. The First Ministers' Conference has been over for several months now and of the four lobbying groups involved, only the Inuit Committee on National Issues has made a visible move toward following up on this subject. The other groups have kept quiet.

What is currently happening and what's next in the bid for self-government? Is the objective still the same or has it changed?

The leaders of the Assembly of First Nations and Prairie Treaty Nations Alliance/Indian Association of Alberta were invited to comment on the current state of self-government and what's planned for the future. Next week, we'll present the opinions of the leaders of the Native Council of Canada, the Inuit Committee on National Issues, and the Metis National Council.
