The alternative of optional Indian band government legislation / Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs.: R32-348/1982E-PDF

"The alternative of optional Indian Band Government Legislation could represent an affirmation of the special responsibilities of the federal government and the Minister of Indian Affairs for the Indian people. Legislation which would base Indian Band government upon the concept that the primary locus of decision-making is within the Indian Band itself, furthermore, is consistent with the principle that the membership of a Band should be the body which determines the nature, direction and pace of its internal social, economic, political and cultural development. Such legislation would of necessity be quite complex, however, and to proceed with it would require prior resolution of a number of important questions and key issues"--p. [1].
