Overview
Dancing Around the Table: Part One provides a fascinating look at the crucial role Indigenous people played in shaping the Canadian Constitution. The 1984 Federal Provincial Conference of First Ministers on Aboriginal Constitutional Matters was a tumultuous and antagonistic process that pitted Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the First Ministersโwho refused to include Indigenous inherent rights to self-government in the Constitutionโagainst First Nations, Inuit and Mรฉtis leaders, who would not back down from this historic opportunity to enshrine Indigenous rights. The conference was Pierre Elliott Trudeauโs last constitutional meeting before he resigned and the process was handed over to his successor, Brian Mulroney.
