Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements (CLCAs) are currently being used as a means to achieve Aboriginal socio-economic development. My dissertation compares the performance of the James Bay and Inuvialuit communities with those of neighbouring communities in the Northwest Territories. Several agreements have been signed including the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA), The Northeastern Quebec Agreement (NEQA) and the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA). These agreements involve cash payment, land compensation for the surrendering of Aboriginal Rights, control over resources, and the establishment of institutions responsible for economic development. As a bottom-up approach to development, CLCAs emphasize local control and mobilization of both human and natural resources. Some analysts believe that CLCAs form the basis for the socio-economic and demographic transformation of Aboriginal communities. Others disagree, arguing that the financial spin-offs are insufficient for such a transformation. The question is, what are the impacts of CLCAs? This study looks for economic, demographic and social changes following the Inuvialuit and James Bay agreements. Data for the analysis were obtained from the 1981, 1986 and 1991 Censuses. Two statistical techniques, namely, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are used in the analysis. The performance of the Inuvialuit and James Bay communities are compared with those of neighbouring communities in the Northwest Territories (NWT). Following The Scone Report's (1989) classification, the neighbouring communities are grouped into Fully Integrated Wage Economies (FIWE) and Less Integrated Wage Economies (LIWE). The analysis reveals statistically significant differences between the James Bay, the Inuvialuit, FIWE and LIWE. The mean scores from the ANOVA indicate that while the FIWE of NWT are the most developed communities, the Inuvialuit communities are second. Statistically, the Inuvialuit communit.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The resident aboriginal population of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) in Canada's western Arctic is involved in a meaningful way in assessing the potential impact of development. Three levels of government cooperate with the indigenous people through several co-management organizations set up under federal legislation that is firmly entrenched in the Canadian constitution. The Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) established a unique structure to deal with resource management and environmental issues that incorporates both government and Inuvialuit views. The Inuvialuit Game Council expresses the collective Inuvialuit interest in wildlife, renewable resources and the environment. Its counterpart is the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation that deals with the business aspects of the claim settlement; finance and investment, economic and social development. Both facets of the Inuvialuit side of the IFA are democratic entities, drawing on elected representation from each of the six communities in the ISR. To provide the Inuvialuit with a tangible way to participate in the government decision-making process, five cooperative management agencies were formed. The co-management agencies deal with terrestrial and marine wildlife and habitat issues, including traditional harvesting activities, as well as environmental impact review and assessment. The co-management organizations provide advice directly to the appropriate government minister. The constitutional status of the implementing legislation which established the duties and responsibilities of the co-management agencies ensures that the advice, though it may not be enthusiastically embraced in all cases, simply cannot be ignored. There are three governments implementing the IFA; the Government of Canada, the Government of Yukon, and the Government of the Northwest Territories. The laws of general application still apply, but since the IFA takes precedence over other legislation in case of conflict, all of the traditional government functions must comply with the IFA, and pay attention to the advice of the Inuvialuit and co-management organizations. Most of these co-management agencies have been operating successfully since 1986. Both sides of the agreement, government and Inuvialuit, are intimately involved in making decisions that affect them both. For the most part, decisions are reached by consensus after information and opinion is gathered through lively and healthy debate. It may not be a perfect system, but all indications are that it is a much better system than the confrontational, paternalistic and often dictatorial one it replaced"--Leaf [i].

Download or read book Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic written by Chris Southcott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years we have witnessed a demand for resources such as minerals, oil, and gas, which is only set to increase. This book examines the relationship between Arctic communities and extractive resource development. With insights from leading thinkers in the field, the book examines this relationship to better understand what, if anything, can be done in order for the development of non-renewable resources to be of benefit to the long-term sustainability of these communities. The contributions synthesize circumpolar research on the topic of resource extraction in the Arctic, and highlight areas that need further investigation, such as the ability of northern communities to properly use current regulatory processes, fiscal arrangements, and benefit agreements to ensure the long-term sustainability of their culture communities and to avoid a new path dependency This book provides an insightful summary of issues surrounding resource extraction in the Arctic, and will be essential reading for anyone interested in environmental impact assessments, globalization and Indigenous communities, and the future of the Arctic region.

Download or read book The Scramble for the Poles written by Klaus Dodds and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 2007 a Russian flag was planted under the North Pole during a scientific expedition triggering speculation about a new scramble for resources beneath the thawing ice. But is there really a global grab for Polar territory and resources? Or are these activities vastly exaggerated? In this rich and wide-ranging book, Klaus Dodds and Mark Nuttall look behind the headlines and hyperbole to reveal a complex picture of the so-called scramble for the poles. Whilst anxieties over the potential for conflict and the destruction of what is often perceived as the world's last wildernesses have come to dominate Polar debates and are, to some extent, justified, their study also highlights longer historical and geographical patterns and processes of human activity in these remote territories. Over the past century, Polar landscapes have been probed, drilled, fished, tested on and dug up, as their indigenous populations have struggled to protect their rights and interests. No longer remote places, or themselves 'poles apart' from one another, the contemporary geopolitics of the Polar regions has lessons for us all as we confront a warming world where access to resources is a concern for states, big and small.
