Download or read book Aboriginal Consultation Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Review in Canada written by Kirk N. Lambrecht and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supreme Court of Canada decisions have defined a general framework for the "duty to consult" Aboriginal peoples and accommodate their concerns over natural resource development, but anticipate the details of that framework will be expanded upon in the future. Aboriginal Consultation, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Review in Canada offers a paradigm that advances that discussion. It proposes an integrated and robust planning model for natural resource extraction allowing Aboriginal peoples, industry, governments, tribunals, and the Courts to all make contributions to reconciliation in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. Kirk Lambrecht surveys the law of actual and asserted Aboriginal rights and historical and modern Treaty rights in Canada and discusses the national and international purposes of environmental assessment and regulatory review. He appraises the fundamental principles of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence defining aboriginal consultation and accommodation as a constitutional imperative and uses case studies involving the National Energy Board to demonstrate how integrated process has evolved over time. Finally he offers general conclusions on the practical utility, and outstanding challenges, involving an integrated planning paradigm.

Book excerpt: 'This essay explores new environmental impact screening procedures as they apply in the Northwest Territories. The research suggests that the goals of environmental protection are shared between environmental activists and native rights advocates. However, an historical review of government development policy in the North and an exploration of aboriginal claims reveals that native people have historically been excluded from direct involvement in the decision-making procedures that involve allocation of property, resource use, and land management. Native people consider their participation in land and resource-use management decisions as a cornerstone to elements of their rights'--Abstract.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Preamble: In the late 1980s, the negotiators for the Dene/Métis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement-in-Principle wanted aboriginal people to become partners with the territorial and federal governments in managing the land and water resources of the Northwest Territories. They proposed such a partnership in the form of a network of co-management boards that would oversee and guide resource development in the Mackenzie Valley. Each aboriginal land-claim organization and the territorial and federal governments would nominate an equal number of people to serve on each co-management board. In 1990, Dene and Métis leadership rejected the Dene/Métis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement-in- Principle. Instead of one claim for the NWT, the Dene and Métis organizations decided to negotiate individual claims for each region. Despite this shift in strategy, the idea of a co-management network remained on the new regional negotiation tables. Consequently, the 1992 Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, the 1994 Sahtu Dene and Métis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, and the 2005 Tlicho Land Claim and Self Government Agreement, adhere to the co-management principle. Implementing those regional land claims and making the idea of co-management a reality required new federal legislation. In 1998, the Parliament of Canada approved the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA or the Act). The MVRMA applies in the Mackenzie Valley. The Act established a network of co-management boards. Each board has a specific mandate for managing resources in the Mackenzie Valley. These boards allow Mackenzie Valley residents and communities to participate in managing the region's land and water resources. Sections 1.4 to 1.7 of this document explain the roles of the co-management boards in the Mackenzie Valley. According to the Act, the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (Review Board) is responsible for environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the Mackenzie Valley. EIA is a process that includes preliminary screening, environmental assessment and environmental impact review. The Review Board develops guidelines to explain how the EIA process works and how people can participate. To date, the Review Board has developed and approved three sets of guidelines. ... 1.2 About this Overview Document: This "Overview of the EIA Guidelines" (Overview) is a companion to the more detailed EIA Guidelines [described in ASTIS record 61292]. The Overview is a summary of the EIA process described extensively in the EIA Guidelines. The numbering system of the Overview corresponds with the numbering system of the EIA Guidelines. If you are interested in a specific section of the Overview, you can find more information under the same heading in the EIA Guidelines. Certain environmental impact assessments may not include every step outlined in the EIA Guidelines. Further, the order of each step can change depending on the assessment. The Review Board plans and conducts each environmental assessment and environmental impact review in a manner appropriate to the scope of the proposed development, the scale of the issues, and the information required to complete an EIA in accordance with the MVRMA"--Pages 1-2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-management boards, established under comprehensive land claims agreements with Indigenous peoples, have become key players in land-use planning, wildlife management, and environmental regulation across Canada’s North. This book provides a detailed account of the operation and effectiveness of these new forms of federalism in order to address a central question: Have co-management boards been successful in ensuring substantial Indigenous involvement in policies affecting the land and wildlife in their traditional territories? Graham White tackles this question, drawing on decades of research and writing about the politics of Northern Canada. He begins with an overview of the boards, examining their legal foundations, structure and membership, decision-making processes, and independence from government. He then presents case studies of several important boards. While White identifies constraints on the role Northern Indigenous peoples play in board processes, he finds that overall they exercise extensive decision-making influence. These findings are provocative and offer valuable insights into our understanding of the importance of land claims boards and the role they play in the evolution of treaty federalism in Canada.

Download or read book Breaking the Ice written by Barry Zellen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008-03-20 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the Ice is a comparative study of the movement for native land claims and indigenous rights in Alaska and the Western Arctic, and the resulting transformation in domestic politics as the indigenous peoples of the North gained an increasingly prominent role in the governance of their homeland. This work is based on field research conducted by the author during his nine-year residency in the Western Arctic. Zellen discusses the major conflicts facing Alaskan Natives, from the struggle to regain control over their land claims to the Native alienation from the corporate structure and culture and the resulting resurgence in tribalism. He shows that while the forces of modernism and traditionalism continued to clash, these conflicts were mediated by the structures of co-management, corporate development, and self-government created by the region's comprehensive land claims settlements. Breaking the Ice gives testimony to the achievements of Alaskan Natives through peaceful negotiation, and argues that the age of land claims has transmuted this same tribal force into something else altogether in the North: a peaceful force to spawn the emergence of new structures of Aboriginal self-governance.
