"The third edition of Aboriginal Law: Commentary, Cases and Materials contains more extensive and detailed commentary than earlier editions, and highlights the most important aspects of Canadian law affecting Aboriginal peoples. The author provides detailed information on and analysis of current law, referring to relevant court decisions, statutes, and land claims agreements. Key excerpts from major cases and materials are included. All major Supreme Court of Canada decisions on Aboriginal rights in the last four decades are referred to and most are excerpted. The addition of a detailed index makes this book easy to use, and the selected bibliography after each chapter assists readers with more in-depth research. The Table of Cases contains page numbers indicating where cases are referenced and/or excerpted which will be of particular value to the legal practitioner. This book is national in scope, but it also canvasses the many regional situations that exist in Canada. The claims of First Nations peoples in BC, the unique situation of Maritime First Nations, land claim agreements in northern Canada, and the special place of the numbered treaties covering the Prairie provinces are considered and reviewed." - Provided by publisher

"Permission to Develop is a unique, Canadian resource that legal practitioners, researchers, and policy-makers will find valuable in their work. It provides a framework for understanding the complex web of agreements, legislation, case-law, and regulations pertaining to Aboriginal rights and claims at both the federal and provincial/territorial levels. It also provides insight into the legal constraints that structure the economic development of First Nations in Canada.

Section I examines the principles underlying Aboriginal rights and the history of Aboriginal claims to land and resources. The notion of the treaty as a sacred exchange between the Crown and Aboriginal societies is explored, as is the fiduciary relationship created between the Crown and Aboriginal peoples. Special attention is given to the Constitution Act of 1982 which, for the first time, affirmed Aboriginal treaty rights. The division of powers between the federal and provincial/territorial levels of government is also examined, and there is an in-depth look at the Indian Act, Indian Oil and Gas Act, the Federal-Provincial Resource Agreements on Reserve Lands, the Fisheries Act, the Migratory Birds Convention Act, and the First National Land Management Act.

Section II provides a province-by-province breakdown of major legislation, regulations, and treaties with special attention to Aboriginal rights to land and resources. Complex issues that are unique to particular regions and provinces are also examined in this section, including modern agreements and treaties (such as the Nisga’a of British Columbia) and currently unresolved land claims (such as the Atikamekw and Montagnais claims).

Permission to Develop is more than a reference book. It is the first comprehensive and integrated attempt to assess Aboriginal treaties, laws, and regulations at all levels of government. It is essential reading for those interested in the legal issues pertaining to Aboriginal communities, Aboriginal economic development, and the politics and the sociology of First Nations." -- Provided by publisher
