“This paper draws on IFAD’s experience in the Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean regions, where the Fund has explicitly identified indigenous peoples as a major target group.”
“This report gives voice to the concerns expressed by First Nations youth, their families, community leaders and service providers. The report’s many recommendations are aimed at all levels of government: federal, provincial and First Nations. Beyond that, the report asks all New Brunswickers, First Nations and non-Aboriginal alike, to work together to achieve equal opportunity for all.”
“This paper reports an in-depth review of the extant literature on the topic of Aboriginal economic development. Two key areas of analysis were identified as a means of delimiting the scope of the review because of both time and resource constraints, (1) The context for Aboriginal wealth creation and economic development, (2) Strategies, mechanisms and best practices for Aboriginal economic development.”
“The central issue addressed in this paper is whether the numerous resource and revenue sharing agreements recently concluded between First Nations and the province are likely to be of lasting social, economic and environmental benefit. If they are not, and if successfully concluded treaties remain a long way off, are there things the province could do now to re-define how it shares forest resources and revenues with First Nations in a way that is more meaningful, equitable and just?”
“The case studies used in the paper look at American reservations, but they have obvious application in Canada. In both countries, aboriginal people have shared almost identical histories, and their legal and political structures are twins. Their reserve societies are rife with the same kind of grinding poverty and social problems, and income levels remain at the bottom of the ethnic totem pole on both sides of the border.
