Canadian Governments and Aboriginal Peoples Project : the Province of Nova Scotia / by Peter Aucoin, principal researcher, and Violet Paul, research assistant.: Z1-1991/1-41-74E-PDF

“This report examines relations between the Province of Nova Scotia and the Mi'kmaq nation, particularly as they relate to the fundamental question of Mi'kmaq governance. It traces the evolution of relations between the province and the Mi'kmaq nation, and includes a description, analysis and the state of relations to 1 October 1993, with a postscript on developments in the following year. The recognition by the government elected in 1993 that "the Mi'kmaq exist as a nation" provided some ground to be optimistic that a major change in relations appeared to be in the offing and a new round of negotiations began on October 1, 1993. This report provides an analysis of the obstacles and issues that need to be overcome and addressed"--Executive summary, p. [3].
