Indigenous land rights : towards respect and implementation / MaryAnn Mihychuk, chair.: XC35-1/1-421-12E-PDF
"Land is a central part of the cultures and worldviews of Indigenous peoples. However, most Indigenous communities lost access to and use of their traditional territories as a result of colonization. For many Indigenous communities, being dispossessed of their land has impeded social and economic prosperity. 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.
