Objective(s): The objective of this study is to ascertain the extent to which the legal obligations persuant to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement are being implemented. This research is being completed in the context of a larger study involving the James Bay and Yukon Agreements. While this type of research has been conducted with respect to individual agreements, there is little research of a comparative nature relating to this area. As negotiated agreements are increasingly being used to define aboriginal-government relations in Canada, research of this type is necessary to determine the effectiveness of these agreements.
Project Description: The objective of this study is to ascertain the extent to which the legal obligations persuant to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) are being implemented. Meetings will be conducted with individuals involved in the implementation and workings of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement in order to discuss the progress of the implementation of the legal obligations persuant to the IFA. Participants will have the goals and objectives of the project fully explained to them and be given the opportunity to sign a consent form.
