Moreover, the stories they told of their struggle to achieve their goals were an inspiring testimony to their determination in the face of fierce obstacles. It is clear from their stories that Native people have not only had to over come the usual difficulties facing people attempting to develop businesses, but have had the additional burdeu of overcoming the deeply ingrained negative view of Native people held by business community- particularly financial institutions. The growing success of Native intrepreneurs is forcing a major and rapid change in those attitudes, creating an increasingly receptive climate for Native peoples in business in the future. One of the most exciting benefits of the summit was the opportunity it provided for individuals to exchange information, put together business deals and develop beneficial business alliances. The value of that aspect of the event alone, according to informed sour- ces, is likely in the millions of dollars. And the business aspect was only one of the summit's positive results.

The structure where the gathering was held was constructed to meet sacred and spiritual specifications and took the community three weeks to erect. The celebration was held in the traditional way with the Dene Tha Band feeding everyone from four cook huts. The tea dances lasted all night and were for everyone who felt like dancing. It was a beautiful experience to mingle with the Dene people and enjoy a celebration the way it used to be in years gone by.

In the traditional Indian way Willie Annasay took it upon himself to raise three young brothers. Shown with Willie, are Cory and Shawn Semeantha. Drummers sing for the ten dancers that sometimes last to four o'clock in the morning. MOKAKIT INDIAN EDUCATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
