Objectif(s): Compare Canadian and Russian Norths to understand the problems and prospects for greater aboriginal self-determination. Will involve interviews with officials of the Inuvialuit Regional Corp. & the Gwich'in Tribal Council to investigate political and economic relations between Mackenzie Delta region and Yellowknife, as well as local development from a regional level perspective. Interviews conducted with Community Corporations and local councils to examine relations between regional administration and local communities; to collect government documents and statistical data, as they relate to governance, land use and resource development.
Description du projet: Studies in the Northwest Territories are a part of a comparative study of Canadian and Russian Norths to understand the problems and prospects for greater aboriginal self-determination. Areas examined included the level of aboriginal organization, at local, district and regional levels; the resources available to aboriginal peoples and their leadership to pursue collective interests; the types of collective action undertaken by aboriginal organizations; and the opportunities and constraints, which both facilitate and hinder the pursuit of greater aboriginal political autonomy.
