Canadian government and Aboriginal peoples : the Northwest Territories / prepared for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples by Gurston Dacks. : Z1-1991/1-41-168E-PDF
“This study examines the social and political context that underlies the policies of the First Nations and the government of the Northwest Territories that relate to the First Nations of the territory. The study reports on these policies and the strategic logic that underlies them. On the basis of this analysis, the study suggests recommendations that the Royal Commission should make in order to promote the constitutional development of the territory in a fashion that respects the rights of the First Nations and promotes cooperative and effective governance of the territory. The relationship between the Aboriginal peoples and the government of the Northwest Territories is unique among Canadian jurisdictions because only in the N.W.T. does the pursuit of Aboriginal self-determination raise fundamental questions about the future structure of the public government"--Executive summary, p. 5.
