Aboriginal peoples and the minerals industry : Yukon and Denedeh : on our own terms / [Wanda Wuttunee].: Z1-1991/1-41-15E-PDF

“The purpose of this study is to examine the future potential for aboriginal communities who wish to pursue opportunities for economic development in the minerals industry. The main focus is on opportunities in hard-rock and placer mining for Yukon and Denendeh (Western Arctic) communities. A survey of the relevant literature supplemented by interviews with a number of aboriginal leaders, territorial and federal government mining department staff and industry interviews are the main sources of information. The first draft of the paper was submitted to all interviewees for feedback on accuracy, completeness and on content. The final draft was reworked in light of this feedback and the additional comments and guidance provided by Dr. Nick Poushinsky, a Yukon resident consulting to Native groups and the mining industry, and Mike Robinson, the executive director of the Arctic Institute of North America at the University of Calgary, Alberta and Trevor Gonsalves, Assistant Director, Employment Futures, Calgary, Alberta”--Intro., p.
