Abstract
This project examines resource production in Canada but more specifically, resource production
on aboriginal land. With First Nations, the Inuit and the Métis all being considered aboriginal
people of Canada, they are in reality subject to different legislation that deals with how resource
production occurs on their land. This project will focus on the different types of applicable
legislation and how it can differently impact the aboriginal way of life. The main cases used in
the study are the First Nations in Alberta and the Inuit in Nunavut, both of whom are located on
resource rich land. By analyzing the difference between the two groups of aboriginals and their
applicable legislation a better understanding can occur of which method promotes better cultural,
social and economical growth among aboriginals and whether other methods should be amended
or abolished.
