Creating Indigenous Property
"In Canada, there is an increased push toward the privatization of Indigenous lands, a problematic development given how central land is to Indigenous societies, cultures, and legal systems. Further complicating this situation is the unique position of Indigenous peoples and the blurred line between private and public law when it comes to analyzing land claims. Furthermore, what is private and what is public is not a clear distinction within Indigenous law, an issues scholars and practitioners are wrestling with more and more. The question that runs through many of the debates around this issue is whether the move towards privatization is a manifestation of the negative forces of capitalism at work or an economic engine the Indigenous peoples can take advantage of to rectify the systemic effects of colonization."--

This edited collection is an interdisciplinary and international collaborative book that critically investigates the growing phenomenon of Indigenous-industry agreements – agreements that are formed between Indigenous peoples and companies involved in the extractive natural resource industry. These agreements are growing in number and relevance, but there has yet to be a systematic study of their formation and implementation. This groundbreaking collection is situated within frameworks that critically analyze and navigate relationships between Indigenous peoples and the extraction of natural resources. These relationships generate important questions in the context of Indigenous-industry agreements in diverse resource-rich countries including Australia and Canada, and regions such as Africa and Latin America. Beyond domestic legal and political contexts, the collection also interprets, navigates, and deploys international instruments such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in order to fully comprehend the diverse expressions of Indigenous-industry agreements. Indigenous-Industry Agreements, Natural Resources and the Law presents chapters that comprehensively review agreements between Indigenous peoples and extractive companies. It situates these agreements within the broader framework of domestic and international law and politics, which define and are defined by the relationships between Indigenous peoples, extractive companies, governments, and other actors. The book presents the latest state of knowledge and insights on the subject and will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, Indigenous communities, policymakers, and students interested in extractive industries, public international law, Indigenous rights, contracts, natural resources law, and environmental law.
