Legal issues on Indigenous economic development / Darwin Hanna, B.A., LL.B.

Hanna, Darwin, 1969- (author.).

Summary:

"Indigenous communities in Canada are actively involved in economic development opportunities based upon their unique circumstances, however they face a number of obstacles in realizing economic development, including a lack of sufficient control over land and resources; legislative and policy impediments; lack of access to financial capital; and lack of implementation of self-government. Through the implementation of UNDRIP and accommodation of Aboriginal and Treaty rights, Indigenous communities have been able to leverage impact and benefit negotiations to further their economic development, often through unique corporate structures. This book explores the legal framework concerning economic development opportunities for Indigenous communities and nations. The author throroughtly reviews the implementation of the principle of free, prior and informed consent and provides economic development case studies of communities, including in respect to gaming and cannabis opportunities."-- Excerpt Publisher description.
