Description
Identifies and examines two main discrepancies in the federal government's Indian band governance policy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Discusses appropriate measurement of costs and benefits of resource development, Aboriginal self-determination over economic development, and the potential of revenue sharing to producing viable Aboriginal economies. Looks at four case studies: hydro-electric projects in Northern Manitoba; military use of land in Nunavik; oil and gas development in Alberta; and resource development in Saskatchewan.
