Download or read book Aboriginal Peoples and Forest Lands in Canada written by D.B. Tindall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal people in Canada have long struggled to regain control over their traditional forest lands. There have been significant gains in the quest for Aboriginal self-determination over the past few decades, including the historic signing of the Nisga’a Treaty in 1998. Aboriginal participation in resource management is on the rise in both British Columbia and other Canadian provinces, with some Aboriginal communities starting their own forestry companies. Aboriginal Peoples and Forest Lands in Canada brings together the diverse perspectives of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars to address the political, cultural, environmental, and economic implications of forest use. This book discusses the need for professionals working in forestry and conservation to understand the context of Aboriginal participation in resource management. It also addresses the importance of considering traditional knowledge and traditional land use and examines the development of co-management initiatives and joint ventures between government, forestry companies, and native communities.

Download or read book Changing the Culture of Forestry in Canada written by Marc G. Stevenson and published by University of Alberta Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing institutions and rules of engagement for sustainable forest management (SFM) in Canada are not designed to accommodate the rights or interests of its Aboriginal peoples. In recognition of this, there has emerged a community of Aboriginal partners and academic researchers committed to changing forestry practices, institutions, and policies. They have collectively undertaken research to address the needs, rights, and interests of forest-dependent Aboriginal communities, with the intention of producing knowledge and skill sets needed to reform forest and resource development sectors. This is the first of two volumes that will highlight the most current and critical research undertaken by this community of practice. While this book and upcoming companion volume are aimed directly at Canada's forest sector, the implications of this research should be of considerable interest and value to all who have a vested interest in natural resource development and management on lands where Aboriginal peoples assert constitutionally protected rights and interests. By attempting to create the ethical space for Aboriginal peoples in building new institutions and policies for their engagement in SFM, this volume addresses some of the most pressing environmental and social issues that Canadians face today.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case study approach is used to explore the hypothesis that variation in community resistance to corporate-Aboriginal partnerships is dependent upon First Nation governance processes. Following a systematic review of three forestry sector case studies, this study identifies tradeoffs that should be considered by First Nation leaders choosing from alternative processes for pursuing corporate-Aboriginal partnerships. While it is accepted that the appropriate mix of processes will vary across communities, the following best practices are recommended for consideration by First Nation leaders: (1) community concerns should be incorporated into business plans, (2) day-to-day business decisions should be made independently of band politics, (3) the transfer of management capacity to the community can only be achieved when hiring is based on both individual merit and community affiliation, and (4) gradual relationship building among partners allows for the development of acceptable agreements.
