Summary
This is the second of three short discussion papers on major policy areas being considered in Part Two of the Ipperwash Inquiry. This paper considers the policing of Aboriginal occupations and protests and the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the police. This discussion paper has two parts. The first part of the paper examines how police respond to Aboriginal protests and occupations. The second part focuses on the relationship between police and Aboriginal peoples, with particular attention to First Nations policing, building better relationships, and overcoming racism. The two parts are clearly connected. The purpose of this paper is to provide parties with notice of the issues that Part Two is considering on this subject. The paper also sets out a series of questions that are likely to arise in our deliberations. A list of questions is attached as Appendix A.
