Dancing Around the Table Part 1 and 2
The video dancing around the table part 1 and 2 was made in 1987 by Maurice Bulbulian. The film deals with the struggles that aboriginal people have had for self government for years. In 1983,1984 and 1985 many aboriginal people took part in a conference with the prime ministers and chairmen of Nova Scotia to fight for Mi'kmaq self government. In 1983, 1984 and 1985 the aboriginal people went to the conference hoping that the prime minister and chairmen would make the change to the constitution act. Sadly after each conference they still would not negotiations the change.
Instead the primister try to negotiation something that would have no benefits to aboriginal people. They had no interest in changing the constitution act instead they wanted the aboriginal feel like they had no choices and that they had to take the deal presented infront of them. In the end the deal was to keep aboriginal people stuck in the same position they always were in. Maybe the thought for them was if we keep them out of sight and out of mind we wont have to deal with these people.
