Feature Video: "Contemporary Life: Implications and Contentions"

The Heritage Community Foundation, with the kind permission of the Treaty Policy Directorate of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, is pleased to present this feature excerpt from the video Cede, Yield, and Surrender: A History of Indian Treaties in Canada.
