Partners in Confederation : Aboriginal peoples, self-government, and the Constitution.: Z1-1991/1-41-2E-PDF

“In the first chapter, we consider the original status of Aboriginal peoples, reviewing their early relations with incoming Europeans, the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the doctrine of Aboriginal rights, and the process of building Confederation. Then, in the second chapter, we turn our attention to the effects of the Constitution Act, 1982, discussing the status of the inherent right of self-government, the character and scope of that right, and methods of implementing it”--Intro., p. 4.
