Contemporary Aboriginal land, resource, and environment regimes : origins, problems, and prospects / Peter J. Usher.: Z1-1991/1-41-153E-PDF
“Since 1975, comprehensive claims agreements, or "land claims settlements", have created new management regimes for land, resources, and the environment across most of Canada's North. These regimes create a permanent, institutionalized relationship between governments and representative aboriginal bodies that is often referred to as "co-management". They guide activities on both public and aboriginal lands, and they regulate hunting and fishing rights, throughout the claims settlement region. The use and management of land, resources, and environment in the North must thus be understood in terms of three key elements of every comprehensive claim: land rights, harvesting rights, and management regimes. In 1993, The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples commissioned a research program, under the direction of the author, to document the origins and implementation of the land, resource, and environment regimes created by modern comprehensive claims agreements, and other co-management initiatives"--Intro., p. 1, 2.
