Summary:

"Indigenous peoples continue to enlarge their foothold on their traditional lands as well as to assert their place within the larger Canadian society. A series of Supreme Court of Canada decisions has opened the door for Indigenous input into resource development decisions. Unlike the past, resource projects must pass the test of ?Duty to Consult?, thus giving Indigenous peoples a powerful place at the decision-making table when resource development decisions are being made. At the same time, Impact Benefit Agreements and other arrangements are emerging as mechanism that help ensure that impacted Indigenous communities participate in and share the benefits of resource activities on their traditional lands. Without a doubt, the Indigenous World is undergoing a transformation heading towards their version of sustainable resource development. In this transformation, not only do natural resources serve as an essential linchpin to maintaining their cultures but these resources also open opportunities for them to shape their emerging economies and societies within Canada."--Publisher's website.
