Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples special hearings of High Arctic Exiles. Five commissioners preside over the special hearings, including co-chairs René Dussault and Georges Erasmus. Oral testimonies are heard from elders or relatives who were affected by the relocation process. A large map and other maps of the High Arctic region are used by the presenters to reference relocation areas. Tape 11: Commissioner Mary Sillett asks a presenter about his tuberculosis and if it subsequently affected the neighbouring community of Grise Fiord. Martha Flaherty comments. Tape 12: A series of oral testimonies continues with most of them pronounced in Inuktitut and a few in English. One presenter talks about the lack of health services in the relocated settlements versus the health services offered to them when they lived in Inukjuak. Tape 13, 14 and 15: Some presenters use photographs to recount a chapter in their lives relating to the relocation. A woman presenter recounts in English, the relocation of her family to Resolute Bay. The closing prayer is pronounced by an elder presenter. <7h 36mn>
