Analysis of the history of incidents involving interaction between Indigenous Peoples and the Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund / Andrew Dick, Research Analyst, Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund. : T22-247/2020E-PDF

"Indigenous groups have been very present in the Fund’s incident files, alerting the Canadian Coast Guard to spills or risks of spills, providing information relevant for response, contributing to the response, monitoring the impacted wildlife. In some instances, they were the owner of a ship that caused a spill and in others, the spill occurred in waters used for indigenous fishing or aquaculture, or of cultural importance. This presence is tangible as background information when one reads the claims documentation submitted by claimants. However, the Fund has had very few claims filed by Indigenous groups throughout its history, and this indigenous presence is therefore not fully captured in the Fund’s annual reports. This research project is a first step in trying to identify what is at stake with the presence of indigenous groups in the Fund’s incident files, and to set the stage for the Fund’s outreach to ‐ and engagement with ‐ indigenous communities"--Preface from the Administrator, page 5.
