From the transcript

So, and I think this has been discussed before, a couple years ago AFN did adopt a very comprehensive subsistence resolution, and I'm just looking to all of you and through these meetings we've been looking to all of the communities to give us guidance on narrowing down this resolution to prioritize Which options should we pursue going forward to advocate for all of you for change for our communities? And this is a summary of some of the questions that we asked all of the communities that we went to. We were asking all of the communities, what does subsistence mean to you? What are your top priorities in subsistence? What are your greatest challenges and threats?
