Emotional and raw, 3KND was on the scene to capture real and heart felt moments of those that have partaken in the momentum and building up of Treaty until this point and the undeniable determination and excitement of the new First Peoples' Assembly. Their newly elected Chairs and Executives now armed with the task to take charge and go forward. A momentous and historical day for All.
