520 |a“Early in their work, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples articulated four principles that would govern their work. These four principles are recognition, respect, reciprocity, and responsibility. These principles are seen as essential to achieving the new relationship between Aboriginal Peoples and Canadians that has eluded us at least since the time of Confederation. These standards are here embraced as the minimum essential elements required for meaningful legal relationships amongst the distinct peoples which make up Canada. Establishing meaningful legal relationships which both Aboriginal Peoples and Canadians can respect is just one step in creating a new partnership. Necessary to any conversation about the inherent right to self-government or self-determination, is an examination of the meaning of these phrases. It is a simple task to define the meaning of these concepts as they are commonly used in legal circles and perhaps even in the political realm. Recognizing that different cultures have different and distinct ways of being, means it is essential to develop first (and at least) a bi-cultural understanding. This understanding must, in turn, foster a shared (or agreed to) understanding of the meanings of the terms which shape the legal discussion. This will not be a simple task. This task is not simple because it absolutely requires that the Aboriginal perspective(s) be shared so it becomes as readily and simply understood as the mainstream political and legal perspectives"--p. 1-2.
