we should have some sort of decision making in the developments in our territories
revenue sharing - equitable share to the devts - upwards to 50%
iba
emp & training
how do we protect our treaty territories
how do we have equitable share to rrs
urban non urban
metis - fn - non status
incarceration - mental health - impacts to access
colonalizism
there has to be more equitable share to off reserve
treaties - fn have the treaties
essential values to access - framework of services
funding formulas
interest is - bdc - non & fn JV
no road access - which affects the quality of life (social, housing,
regional mandated BDC which suports true spirit & intent - business devt in NWO
needs to be more than non natives benefitting from the treaties
question - does the non aboriginal community, government and public understand the treaties? no they don't
poverty -
how can we prevent and alleatve the social problems - drugs, prostitution,
vulnerable populations who populate
despairity issues - fn & nn
nr - economic benefit from access to *forestry* - loan grants, and nn business - find very disappointing for devt of fn in industry to stimulate - new diversion - ie bio fiber, which can accomodate FN economies,
input right from the begnning - at conceptual stange of policy - we need to be there at the very first stage
systemic end to cyclical policy devt
we need to educate our counterparts
help them to understand how to engage in the activites
relationship building, capacity devt,
shifting the capacity of nn,
musselwhite - mining
how can we become more involved in mining industy - equitable share in exploration and extraction - by using treaties
RRS - 1m shared by four tc -
fn are being offered to cut a line into bush - not what we want - is to have an equitable share
like to leave it alone so we can develop it ourselves
need to build up the capacity of the people -
in reality we know it could be our share
access to capital - barrier
value placed on "inherent" right to resource - counted on our share - go to bank with X# to borrow
used toward the company
capitalizing our own to est. our our own company -
questioned the validity of treaty #9
because chief was blind - and the non n was a white man - metis who had broke english of that treaty
signed of lake st. joseph - segregatd right away
arguement - that the resources belong to communities - in whole
community one of the poorest - there is no rrs - give me a break - if the treaties were upheld - we would not be here because there would be so much wealth
in sask - they are imploemnting treaty implementation
treaty implementation process - where we revisit how we implement in a modern context -
both sides have tobe educated -
into plain proper english
treaty politics - agenda of broad politics - impacts religious agenda, environmental agenda
SFL - sustainable forestry license
equiatble share - through policy
government - policy based -
jurisdictional issues - province not willing to share in the value of resources
manitoba and quebec seem to be light years ahead of seeing ab; people as citizens
community tenure reform forests prince arthur - workshop march 4-5 - forests more value to fn ppl - not just $$
duty to consult - or broad our ability to broaden our economies?
accomodation -
det the value to develop research - variety of stages -
we need to have capacity - chicken and egg
lack capacity
what kind of fuamental change do we need to bring in our rights - forestry tenure reform general public
issues that affect n & s ont - necessitate a separate
aboriginal issue and northen ontario issue
need to be open and give up a piece
critical mass on citizenry of canada that develop a belief system to dev capacity
fact that we are abl ppl
we are all treaty people
all benefactors
engagement model has to change
aggrestive and modernization of treaties
modern implementation of treaties
just do it - inherent rights
never meant to be impoverished
we are all treaty -
not from government - mind shift
just do it
been products of sleeping for past 100 years
too one sided - non native needs to be educated
expectation that abl communityes have to change - recogn of each others strength
gov. not rec our landuse plan
willingness to share that authority
government needs to recognize
