The Native Arts Foundation recognized the Member for the Sahtu for his commitment and endless work in furthering and protecting the rights of aboriginal people and all people in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, we all know of Mr. Kakfwi's strong advocacy work and the passion he shows when it comes to advancing the interests of the people of the Northwest Territories. I had the opportunity, as I am sure many other Members did last night, to watch the television coverage of the National Aboriginal Award's ceremony. It was with a great deal of pride that we saw Mr. Kakfwi being recognized. It was moving to see Mr. Kakfwi who is, coincidentally, or I should mention dressed in his northern aboriginal dress which was very moving for us, and to be recognized for his years of work in promoting the north, aboriginal people and northerners. Congratulations to the honourable Member.
