  • A Review of Native American Entrepreneurial Activity
    The primary scope of this research is to identify the business and entrepreneurial activity taking place in the Native American community and includes a literary review of ten articles found to be of significant importance in gathering a broader scope of how tribal entrepreneurship is succeeding and evaluating recommendations for improvement. Early on, tribal people shared a similar economy that greatly differed from the market economy of today where entrepreneurship problems loom large in Indian Country. Through this review we will gain a better understanding of where business and entrepreneurship activity stands in Native America....

  • A study of the impact of oil and gas development on the Dene First Nations of the Sahtu (Great Bear Lake) Region of the Canadian Northwest Territories (NWT)
    Purpose - Beneath Canada's Northwest Territories lies a potential of 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Will a $16 billion gas-pipeline bring prosperity or gloom? Will this bring employment opportunities for local people or will more qualified people be brought in from southern communities? The purpose of this paper is to give an account of what Dene residents of the Sahtu Region have to say about oil and gas development....

  • Aboriginal Rights, Resource Development, and the Source of the Provincial Duty to Consult in Haida Nation and Taku River
    The main issues dealt with by the Supreme Court of Canada in its decisions in Haida Nation v. British Columbia (Minister of Forests) and Taku River Tlingit First Nation v. British Columbia (Project Assessment Director/ were the nature and scope of the provincial Crown's duty to consult with First Nations and accommodate their interests before authorizing resource development on lands subject to unestablished Aboriginal title claims. Those issues will not, however, be the focus of this article. Instead, I am going to discuss what, in my opinion, is a major preliminary issue lying largely hidden in both cases, namely the source and extent of provincial jurisdiction to infringe Aboriginal title for the purposes of resource development. In Haida Nation and Taku River, the Court assumed that British Columbia has authority to infringe Aboriginal title in appropriate circumstances for the purposes of forestry and mining, thereby triggering a duty to consult with the Aboriginal nations concerned. However, although logically that provincial authority to infringe must be present before the duty to consult can arise in these circumstances, its source was not explained or even identified....

  • 'Anchored to the Land': Asserting and Recognising Aboriginal Jurisdiction in the Northwest Territories
    This chapter of the edited collection 'Settling With Indigenous People' examines the recent history of Aboriginal land claims, self-government and resource development agreements in Canada's Northwest Territories. Through an analysis of the changing political and legal landscape of the Northwest Territories, the authors argue that the durability of these individual agreements will be dependent upon strategic interactions with the full spectrum of social, economic, political and governance or jurisdictional processes that affect the lives of local Aboriginal people. This argument resonates with experiences in other jurisdictions, including Australia....

  • Earth Matters: Indigenous Peoples, the Extractives Industries and Corporate Social Responsibility
    In undertaking an in-depth analysis of CSR and indigenous peoples in the extractive industries, the book seeks to answer the following questions. What is the nature and extent of CSR initiatives in the extractive industries and how should they be understood? What motivates companies to pursue CSR policies and activities? How do specific political, social and legal contexts shape corporate behaviour? What is the relationship between indigenous political action and CSR? How and to what extent can corporations be held accountable for their policies and actions? Can CSR help bring about a fundamental change in the distribution of benefits and costs from large-scale resource exploitation and, if so, under what conditions can this occur?...

  • Goldcorp and Hudbay Minerals in Guatemala
    Canadian mining in Guatemala has been associated with violence and death. Opposition to an INCO mine in the El Estor region in the 1960’s resulted in the assassination of two law professors, and another activist has been killed in 2009. In the San Marcos region of Guatemala, two deaths are associated with the opening of a mine now owned by Goldcorp. Indigenous opposition to the mines continues in both regions. This article updates an article originally published in 2007which ties the events in Guatemala to efforts in Canada to hold Canadian mining companies accountable....

  • Mining in Remote Areas. Issues and Impacts. A Community Primer
    The mining industry plays a leading role in opening up remote areas to industrial development. Mine development brings with it the promise of a wide range of benefits. The promoters of a new mine often point to the jobs that will be available, the power and transportation infrastructure that will be created, or the new tax and other revenues that will be generated. For communities on the receiving end of mineral development, however, there are also costs - potentially dramatic ones....
