Education Thesis (MEd) -- Queen's University, 2017.
Presentation relating to land claims and self-government. The presenter believes that "(T)he difficulty of self-government and land claims is that although it is aimed at reviving the culture and identity of Indian people, it is only accessible to those who are educated and trained in the political, legal and economic intricacies of a non-Indian system."
Speakers discuss how the Act has defined the government's and Crown's relationship with First Nations peoples; how it has impeded development of communities; and how fundamental changes are needed to give First Nations' control over governance and the ability to develop mechanisms to improve access to capital.
