Modern Treaties 101: A Crash Course

From the desk of Patti Black, Senior Consultant:

   

Do you have questions about Modern Treaties – Comprehensive Land Claims and Self-Government Agreements? Modern Treaties now affect more than 40 percent of Canada's land, waters and resources. What is their regional and national importance?

These Constitutionally-protected agreements define relationships between Aboriginal parties, the Government of Canada, and provincial and territorial governments. Yet little is known publicly or within government circles about the contents of and benefits from modern treaties in Canada. This is your chance to learn how issues like the duty to consult, certainty of ownership, self government, management areas, resource development and other important matters may be affected by Modern Treaties.
