Workshops were held in the evenings on fishing, social development, Indian Government, energy and resources, and education.; A Working Committee for the Central Interior Tribal Council was formed during this meeting, with the intention of investigating alternative methods of providing services to Bands. They drafted a work plan, which was presented at the CITC meeting on February 19th to 20th, 1979. 75 delegates from Bands in the area met and looked at the first draft, laying out long and short-term goals for the transfer of services and programs from the DIA to Indian Band Control.
