Canada-Nova Scotia-Mi’kmaq Tripartite Annual Assembly
September 1st, 2005
Bear River First Nation was the host of this year’s Annual Assembly of the Tripartite Forum. The community displayed its museum exhibit. This is excellent as it shows how the Mi’kmaq lived traditionally prior to the arrival of the Europeans. Bear River is also a very scenic spot and it is such a wonderful area to visit.
This year the theme of the Assembly was that the working groups sit down and share the work that each is doing. There are many things that are accomplished with each of the working groups and for each to work together there can only be improved program delivery. One of the major contributions that the First Nation Help Desk can provide is the use of the video conferencing in setting up meeting, courses or general discussions. Several of the groups have expressed interest in the video conferencing. We expect to see many things come out this process.
