In addition to the speeches given that day by the First Nation leaders during the morning and afternoon sessions (click here for the links to these video clips), the team from Keewaytinook Okimakanak were able to interview a number of key people during the event. Together with these interviews and speeches, a lot of great video material was captured. This material is being put together into a production that will be used in the First Nation schools to tell the true story of this treaty for future generations. A new web page containing all the video material from this gathering is now available at http://treatyninecommemoration.on.ca/video.html
