Rethinking Aboriginal participation in the minerals industry : an exploration of alternative modes (with special reference to the potential for small-scale autonomous mineral development on Aboriginal...: Z1-1991/1-41-90E-PDF

“Recognizing that mining and minerals engineering are not customary activities or career paths for Aboriginal peoples in Canada, the objective of this paper is to broaden the discussion of development options that may be available to Aboriginal communities. This will necessitate shifting attention from the predominating paradigm of "job and business opportunity creation" attached to large-scale, externally owned, export oriented mineral development to consideration of other models. In particular, the possibilities for smaller, locally or jointly owned commercial operations will be explored"--Objectives, p. 3.
