As
the primary focus of the research is domestic legislation
affecting First Nation cultural heritage it is imperative
that First Nation people be involved at all stages of the research
program. The academic team has worked with First Nation
partners designing the research program and will be using case
studies designed and controlled by First Nation partners which
feature First Nation concepts of property, laws and cultural
heritage protection priorities. These case studies are also
designed to help our partners create important archival resources.
First Nation partners will also be involved in developing recommendations
and designing project outcomes.
For practical and economic reasons case studies are drawn
from British Columbia and Alberta. These case studies will not
be used to draw broad generalizations about First Nation laws
and priorities but will be used by the team to identify
potential legal, cultural, and policy issues that should be
considered in domestic law reform. |
The
project will be broader in scope by including other case studies
derived from literature reviews, attendance at conferences,
and other means determined by the research partners. For more
information on First Nation participation in the research
project see the detailed project description link at our main
page.
