Book Aboriginal Communities mineral Companies governments Working Together

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the last few years many companies involved in the mineral industry have contacted governments and expressed a willingness to learn about, communicate with, and work with Aboriginal people. The following checklist has been developed to provide interested companies with some guidance. Its purpose is to ensure that the company's relationship with the Aboriginal people will be as productive as possible. These guidelines are applicable at all stages of the mining process: staking exploration, development and mine operation as well as closure and rehabilitation. They should also prove helpful if a company becomes involved in a project at an advanced stage. In the event of a change of ownership, it is important that the lines of communications remain open. It is important to stress that, in order to build trust between the mining/exploration company and the local people, community consultations should be done in person. It should be noted since that much of the information that is mentioned in this brochure is available from the various levels of government, a list of contacts has been included. The term Aboriginal people refers to the descendants of the original inhabitants of Canada. Aboriginal people are defined in the Constitution Act, 1982 as all indigenous people including Indians, Métis and Inuit. (Au)"--ASTIS [online] bibliography.

Book Building Trust  Addressing Uncertainty  Developing Aboriginal Consultation Practices for Mineral Exploration Companies

Download or read book Building Trust Addressing Uncertainty Developing Aboriginal Consultation Practices for Mineral Exploration Companies written by Aaron Edward Keffer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis examines how mineral exploration companies in the Thunder Bay region are consulting with Aboriginal communities. The research is based on new regulations put forth by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) which, as part of a new plans and permits regime, require mining companies to consult with Aboriginal communities prior to any exploration occurring on their traditional lands. Historically, Aboriginal peoples have been left out of resource development decision making, but with increased recognition of Aboriginal and Treaty rights, they have begun demanding prior consultation, and have become influential in natural resource development. For background information and better understanding of the new regulations, interviews were conducted with two representatives from the MNDM. Next, in order to examine what effect these new regulations have had on the mining industry, I interviewed representatives of 15 companies from April 2013 to December 2013. To quantify aspects of this research, this study evaluated companies using Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Dynamic Capabilities (DC) frameworks. My analysis of interview data yielded 21 prominent themes, 7 of which were queried while 14 occurred spontaneously. The most common themes that occurred were „concerns with government‟ and „operational difficulties‟. CQ scores ranged from 50% to 89.3% and DC scores ranged from 14.3% to 82.5%. The results show that many companies were already consulting with Aboriginal communities before it became mandatory, but are still facing challenges. The main issues that companies are facing as a result of the regulations are: lengthened project timelines, lack of capacity and resources to properly consult communities, communication with Aboriginal management, unregulated community expenses, uncertainties of role responsibility, and lack of government involvement. I explain the usefulness of the CQ and DC scales in this study and how they are excellent tools for comparing companies that have had successful engagement experiences with those that experience unproductive engagement. I believe that companies are consulting with communities as best they can with the resources they have, but consultation must not be just between company and community; the government must play a stronger role in such proceedings."-- from abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such futures. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of value, identity, and community are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and livelihood activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of country, the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.

Book Aboriginal Participation in the Mining Industry of Canada

Download or read book Aboriginal Participation in the Mining Industry of Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Working Group on the Mineral Industry formed a Sub-committee, Native Participation in Mining to study all aspects of Native participation in mining. The Sub-committee's objectives are to document best practices, with a realistic view to the incidence of the costs and benefits of each and to identify new ways of matching Native lifestyles with the mineral industry employment opportunities; to identify the concrete steps which governments, mining companies, Native groups and individuals can take to substantially boost Native participation in mining; and to examine what, if any, incentives could be identified and what legal and structural barriers to development could be removed, in order to speed progress toward the goal of increased Native participation in mining. A report summary is given. The appendices include: increasing capacity in aboriginal communities through participation in mineral exploration and mining; joint ventures for economic development; case studies; the mining-aboriginal people demographic relationship; selected federal government programs/policies for aboriginal participation in mining; and aboriginal participation in mining, six year of study.

Book Rethinking Aboriginal Participation in the Minerals Industry

Download or read book Rethinking Aboriginal Participation in the Minerals Industry written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recognizing that mining and minerals engineering are not customary activities or career paths for Aboriginal peoples in Canada, the objective of this paper is to broaden the discussion of development options that may be available to Aboriginal communities. This will necessitate shifting attention from the predominating paradigm of "job and business opportunity creation" attached to large-scale, externally owned, export oriented mineral development to consideration of other models. In particular, the possibilities for smaller, locally or jointly owned commercial operations will be explored"--Objectives, p. 3.

Book Aboriginals and the Mining Industry

Download or read book Aboriginals and the Mining Industry written by David Cousins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, Peter Rogers concluded that 'Australia has not done itself justice in the handling of modern industry versus Aborigines conflict. the lack of preparation. is a disgrace to government, private organisations and unions alike'. What has happened since then? Aboriginals and the mining industry reviews three main questions - to what extent have Aboriginals shared in the fruits of the mining boom? Have new land rights helped Aboriginals protect their interests as affected by mining? And what has been the contribution of mining to the economic development of remote Aboriginal communities? These are vital questions for all concerned with the impact of mining expansion on Aboriginal communities. This book reviews the participation of Aborigines in the mining company employment. It examines the contribution of the recent land rights legislation to protecting Aboriginal interests. And it asks how far the growth of mining in remote parts of Australia has aided the economic development of Aboriginal groups living there. Detailed case studies of mining projects included.
