Exercising Aboriginal self-government : the intergovernmental transition / by Douglas M. Brown and Jonathan Rose.: Z1-1991/1-41-156E-PDF

“Aboriginal governments require both effective room to govern, and workable relationships with other governments. The act of asserting the inherent right of self-government and subsequently establishing and exercising governing functions will involve routine interactions among the existing levels of government in the Canadian federation. This paper examines the practice and principles behind intergovernmental relations in Canada and the experience of Aboriginal Peoples in these relations. It then proceeds to propose specific principles to guide the intergovernmental transition to Aboriginal self-government and specific recommendations on policies, institutions and mechanisms in order to apply these principles"--Intro., p. 1.
