A new Indian lands act : preliminary identification of issues and options / John Berris.: R39-18/1991E-PDF

"Phase II of the Lands, Revenues, and Trusts review examined a number of subjects relating to the department's management of its responsibilities under the Indian Act. One of the components of the review dealt with Indian lands management issues. The report prepared by the department's consultants identified a number of options for reform of the current Indian lands management system. One of the options was to enact new legislation that would, at the option of each band, transfer the responsibility for Indian lands to Indians. The purpose of this paper is to, in a preliminary manner, identify some of the issues and considerations that may need to be addressed should the First Nations indicate that they wish to further explore this option"--Preface, p. 1.
