At issue is the way that lands and resources have been “mismanaged, sold, [and] degraded, often while communities faced poverty and struggled to secure even the most basic necessities of life.” Redress for historical injustices is a key element in advancing reconciliation; settling claims also provides benefits to Indigenous communities in relation to self-determination and economic development"--Summary. gccst Aboriginal peoples gccst Land claims Mihychuk, MaryAnn.
