The Ipperwash Inquiry is hearing closing statements from a number of different parties. All the presentations from Aboriginal groups clearly point out how the government of the day (Mike Harris and the conservative party) influenced the atmosphere surrounding the occupation of the park and therefore influenced the police actions that lead to the death of Dudley George.

All the presentations can be seen online at http://www.ipperwashinquiry.ca. The web site contains a number of other resources (including teacher and student guides) that will hopefully help prevent a similar event from ever happening again.
