Overview of the first round / prepared for the Commission by Michael Cassidy.: Z1-1991/1-11-1E-PDF

“The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples held its first round of hearings across Canada from April 21 to June 26, 1992. These hearings focused on allowing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people and organizations to voice their concerns and to offer solutions to the broad range of problems set out in the Commission's mandate. Over two months, the Commission heard from some 785 individuals and organizations and held 44 days of hearings at 36 locations, mostly in smaller communities. These included 11 days in Atlantic Canada and Labrador; 6 days in central Canada; 21 days in the West and 9 days in the two northern territories. This report was prepared … on the basis of the hearings transcripts, personal attendance at a number of the hearings, and summaries prepared by Commission analysts. Where citations are given, they refer to the name of the speaker or organization and the hearing at which they spoke"--Intro., p. 1, 2.
