Includes bibliographical references. This paper employs a comparative analysis to address two sets of questions highly relevant to the work of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. First, what can we learn in a general way, from experience elsewhere in applying the federal idea, about how federal political systems generally and federations specifically can accommodate distinct internal groups and provide opportunitiees for self-government? Second, what specific arrangements have been provided for Aboriginal peoples in countries that are both federal in form and contain substantial Aboriginal populations? gccst Commissions of inquiry gccst Aboriginal peoples gccst Self government Canada.
