N-2001-016: CN-269A · Item · April 1979
Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

This item is the fifth part of a seventeen-part recording of a joint Metis Association-Dene Nation meeting, held April 24-27, 1979 in Inuvik. This recording was made on April 26. The meeting is in English and an Indigenous language. The original source item is side A of a 60 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items CN-267A, CN-267B, CN-268A, CN-269B, CN-270A, CN-270B, CN-271A, CN-271B, CN-272A, CN-272B, CN-273A, CN-273B, CN-479A, CN-479B, and CN-274A. The morning's meeting begins with an opening prayer in an Indigenous language. The meeting participants then introduce themselves and indicate the community they represent: James Christie (Fort Providence), John S (Tuktoyaktuk), Walter Blondin (Norman Wells), Violet Beaulieu (Fort Resolution), Germaine Raitburger (Fort Simpson), Rene Mercredi (Fort Smith), Alex Morin (Hay River), Charlie? Kochon (Colville Lake), Alphonsine McNeely (Fort Good Hope), Nora Carriere (Yellowknife), George Kodakin? (Fort Franklin (Deline)), Jim Antoine (Fort Simpson), Jim? Sangris (Jean Marie River), Ed____, Gerry Cheezie (Fort Smith), Paul Wright (Fort Norman (Tulita)), and Alexis Arrowmaker (Snare Lake (Wekweeti)). The group then determines that they will consider the four points of the agenda one after another, rather than all together: membership, election procedure, constitution, name of the new organization. There is a question as to whether the group has quorum, but it is established that they do. Charlie Furlong suggests forming a joint committee to draft the constitution, once they reach that point in the agenda. Rene Mercredi lists three points on the membership question: should be a descendant of one of the five linguistic groups in the NWT, over the age of 18, and resident of the NWT for at least 15 years. Gerry Cheezie indicates that this is very similar to the ideas of Dene Nation on membership. There is translation throughout in one Indigenous language. The recording ends abruptly.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.

N-2001-016: CN-313A · Item · February 17, 1976
Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

This item is the fifth part of a fifteen-part recording of a meeting of the Dene Land Claims Committee, including members from the Metis Association and the Indian Brotherhood (later Dene Nation) held February 17-20, 1976 in Yellowknife. This recording was made February 17, 1976. The meeting is in English. The original source item is side A of a 60 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes CN-311A, CN-311B, CN-312A, CN-312B, CN-313B, CN-314A, CN-314B, CN-315A, CN-315B, CN-316A, CN-316B, CN-317A, CN-318A, and CN-322A. The meeting appears to be chaired by Metis Association President, Rick Hardy. Other participants include Richard Nerysoo, Charlie Furlong, Rod Hardy, John Blake, Paul Andrew, Eddie Koyina, Larry Firth, Carl Carpenter, George Kurszewski, and Gerry (Sutton?). The recording continues with a discussion of signing authority for the land claims funding and the possibility of combining Indian Brotherhood and Metis Association headquarters offices. There appears to be support for the Metis Association Board motion that funding should be administered jointly. There is a brief discussion of whether joint administration would mean that the joint land claims committee would need to incorporate, and if they did, if that would obligate them to negotiate. Then the discussion shifts to again to forming one organization and whether it should start at the headquarters level or at the community level. Much debate ensues around whether communities could work together, the possible result of the loss of band core funding, what would happen if the headquarters started working together but the communities did not agree, and hard and soft approaches to developing one organization in communities. The recording ends abruptly.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.
