This item is the seventh 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 40 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes CN-311A, CN-311B, CN-312A, CN-312B, CN-313A, CN-313B, CN-314B, CN-315A, CN-315B, CN-316A, CN-316B, CN-317A, CN-318A, and CN-322A.

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 discussion on a plan of action to meet the November 1 deadline for a land claims proposal. Various ideas are circulated, including the Dene Task Force, establishing a calendar, the Dene Field Program, regional assemblies, setting a budget, drafting a general idea of what the proposal will include, and land use research. Rick Hardy continues trying to fit the ideas into an agenda for the rest of the meeting. The idea of incorporating the Dene Land Claims Committee and possible advantages and disadvantages is again discussed. This leads into a discussion on creating a joint bank account and having joint administration of the land claims funding. A new agreement is proposed requiring one signature from each group, with each group having three possible designated signers. The article in the agreement with the government indicating that money cannot be used for litigation is revisited. The recording ends abruptly.
