| Summary: | Two separate interviews: Ralph Matthews discusses alternatives to the economic system that encourages dependency; need to gain a measure of control; concentration on community/local markets; possible successful industry types for Newfoundland: highly skilled craft industries, low skilled mass production, or service industries utilizing information technology; the impact of oil and gas development; appropriate technology. At 29:15, Jean Crane (Labrador artist) gives her impression of the conference which she found too high-powered or academic; should have been more delegate input; more recognition of Labrador. Also discusses the emergence of women as a political force; objects to the imposition of cultural values and beliefs from the outside (archaeological digs); low-level flying training at Goose Bay; value of the wilderness, traditional crafts.
