INTERVIEW: What Do Treaty Advisory Committee (TAC) members
think about TAC?
QUESTION 1: What was your reason for joining TAC? Bob Swain: To learn more about the treaty and to pass on to my children and grandchildren. Donna Williams: To find out more about the treaty, and what the treaty was all about, and where we are at. And to see if it is all worth it. QUESTION 2: What would you like to see come out of TAC? Bob: Would like to see TAC knowledgeable and well versed so they are able to help the Chief Negotiator. Donna: The community would get more involved. There is a lot of people that think the treaty is wrong. As a TAC member I could go out and help our community members be more knowledgeable. And be more beneficial to our community, Because we would be gaining our homelands back and what is rightfully ours QUESTION 3: Is there anything you would like to share with the community? Bob: Would like for the community to learn more about the Negotiations so they could gain a better understanding on it. Because then it could help them make a choice and make up their own mind. Donna: Would like the community to get more involved . Our future depends on it. Its not like we are going back to the way we were. We are gaining our homelands back. Don’t want to depend on the government to much cause we are where we are ‘cause of the government. (Interviews done on November 2 & 8, 2010 by Natasha Walkus, Treaty Resource Assistant)
