Several speakers indicate that since there were no minutes taken and it is in the past, it should be forgotten about and the current meeting continue with a new approach to bring the two groups together again in some sort of agreement. Another speaker reinforces the idea that the two organizations need to respect each other again and start working together and voices support for joint Band and Metis Local meetings. states that the government likes to see the Metis Association and Indian Brotherhood fighting and if they don’t start respecting each other, they might have to take whatever if offered.

Kakfwi indicates that the Metis are Indigenous people with the right to reclaim land and resources and that they have they leadership and political vision to know what they want, but that in order to get there, they need strength of character and determination to see it through. He says they need to know who they are, where they came from, and who their ancestors were. Kakfwi makes reference to previous questions about the Community Transfer Initiatives program and defends the GWNT's desire to go ahead even without having everything figured out. Since Kakfwi is also the Minister of Renewable Resources, additional questions are asked about resources, including the 3-year plan for hunting, trapping, and fishing and the environmental impacts of heavy metal and diamond exploration.
