The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was appointed in 1991 and submitted its final, 5000 page report in 1996. During its five year inquiry, the Commission “held 178 days of public hearings, visited 96 communities, consulted dozens of experts, commissioned scores of research studies, reviewed numerous past inquiries and reports” (Highlights. “A Word From Commissioners”). You may be surprised to discover that not all of this work appeared in the final report – in particular, the hearing transcripts were not included. The transcripts were made available as part of a CD-Rom publication, “For Seven Generations,” but have not been freely accessible online until quite recently.
You can view the Commission’s Final Report, Highlights from the Final Report and the Address for the Launch of the Report online on Indian and Northern Affairs Canada’s website here .
