Dept. of Research for Aboriginal Title and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is presented as the final quarterly report of the Department of Research Aboriginal Title of the Ontario Metis and Non-Status Indian Association, in completion of a contract with the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Unlike our past quarterly reports, this document presents the results--rather than a description of the operational activity--of the claims research project undertaken in June of 1978 and completed March 31, 1980. It should be clearly understood that "this document is not a formal statement of claims" for purposes of negotiating a settlement of the claims. It is, however, a comprehensive presentation of the Association's position on the "potential aboriginal claims" of Metis and Non-Status Indian in Ontario. The Association perceives this document as a majour step in an ongoing process of consultative interaction with Federal authorities to establish and valide potential claims, and to develop a negotiative framework for settlement of the precise claims of Metis and Non-Status Indians in Ontario, when, and as, these claims are presented.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book Indigenous Data Sovereignty written by Tahu Kukutai and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the global ‘data revolution’ accelerates, how can the data rights and interests of indigenous peoples be secured? Premised on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book argues that indigenous peoples have inherent and inalienable rights relating to the collection, ownership and application of data about them, and about their lifeways and territories. As the first book to focus on indigenous data sovereignty, it asks: what does data sovereignty mean for indigenous peoples, and how is it being used in their pursuit of self-determination? The varied group of mostly indigenous contributors theorise and conceptualise this fast-emerging field and present case studies that illustrate the challenges and opportunities involved. These range from indigenous communities grappling with issues of identity, governance and development, to national governments and NGOs seeking to formulate a response to indigenous demands for data ownership. While the book is focused on the CANZUS states of Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and the United States, much of the content and discussion will be of interest and practical value to a broader global audience. ‘A debate-shaping book … it speaks to a fast-emerging field; it has a lot of important things to say; and the timing is right.’ — Stephen Cornell, Professor of Sociology and Faculty Chair of the Native Nations Institute, University of Arizona ‘The effort … in this book to theorise and conceptualise data sovereignty and its links to the realisation of the rights of indigenous peoples is pioneering and laudable.’ — Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Baguio City, Philippines

Download or read book Decolonizing Methodologies written by Linda Tuhiwai Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory. This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition as 'regimes of truth.' Concepts such as 'discovery' and 'claiming' are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonization of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2008-2013, the FICP supported the strategic outcome of the Office of the Federal Interlocutor, to "improve the socio-economic conditions of Métis, non-status Indians and urban Aboriginal people." In late 2012, the FICP as a program was resituated under Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada's (AANDC) Policy and Strategic Direction division and under the strategic outcome of "The G [...] Despite these successes, however, the evaluation noted limitations caused by the vulnerability of the Métis and non-status Indian organizations, the lack of strategic priorities identified by the groups and access to multi-year funding, claims of inadequate core funding from AANDC, and a lack of clarity with respect to the capacity-building initiatives' target outcomes. [...] The 2008 evaluation, thus, recommended that AANDC: Clarify the Office of Federal Interlocutor mandate and role within AANDC and the federal government, and develop expected outcomes and performance indicators that are measurable and an accurate reflection of the scope and work of the Office of Federal Interlocutor. [...] The title and role of Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians was assigned to a senior Minister in addition to other titles and roles, and until 2004, the role was kept separate and apart from that of the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. [...] The objective of the FICP is to help to build capacity and to maintain a relationship based on trust and respect between Métis and non-status Indian people and the Government of Canada.
