Book Description
The focus on land-based communities has resulted in the exclusion of a large segment of the Aboriginal population from discussions of self-government. This report starts from the premise than an inherent right of self-government is part of the Constitution in terms of being an Aboriginal right. It examines how self-government in urban areas, where Aboriginals lack a land base, might be put into practice. It first sets the context for the development of urban self-government, reviewing the different legal categories into which the Aboriginal people of Canada have been divided and outlines issues relating to current federal & provincial responsibilities towards Aboriginal peoples. Section 2 discusses the inherent right to self-government and how it might be exercised in different urban settings & in relation to other Aboriginal rights. Section 3 surveys different models & elements of governing along with options for membership, governing structures, the powers of Aboriginal governments, access to lands & resources, financing and intergovernmental conditions.

Book Description
Reports on the findings of a joint research project that focused on Aboriginal governance in urban settings and the challenge of engaging youth. The project involved literature reviews, legal policy analysis, program & service documentation, best practices surveys, and ten focus circles with Aboriginal groups. The introduction sets the context for the project, discusses four lines of debate regarding Aboriginal urban self-government, and reviews the rest of the report. Part II sets out two broad normative frameworks for examining proposals for urban self-government in order to explore key issues involved in considering various governance options. Part II subjects basic models advanced to date for urban governance to a three-step assessment. It first reviews self-government models commonly suggested in the two dominant normative frameworks of Aboriginal rights law and democratic liberalism. It then draws on field research to assess issues of practicality in relation to urban governance. Finally, the report reviews the perceptions of urban Aboriginal people themselves, and particularly the youth that participated in the focus circles, as to their own sense of priorities and preferences for the nature and form that urban governance should take. Appendices include an annotated bibliography, responses to a survey of urban youth programs, and focus circle results.

Book Description
Individual chapters highlight the unique issues related to policy making in this field - the important role of diverse Aboriginal organizations, the need to address Aboriginal and Treaty rights and the right to self-government, and the lack of governmental leadership - revealing a complex jurisdictional and programming maze. Contributors look at provinces where there has been extensive activity as well as provinces where urban Aboriginal issues seem largely irrelevant to governments. They cover small and mid-sized towns, remote communities, and large metropolises. While their research acknowledges that existing Aboriginal policy falls short in many ways, it also affirms that the field is new and there are grounds for improvement as it grows and matures. Contributors include Frances Abele (Carleton University), Chris Andersen (University of Alberta), Katherine A. H. Graham (Carleton University), Russell LaPointe (Carleton University), David J. Leech (Skelton-Clark Post-Doctoral Fellow, Queen's University), Maeengan Linklater (Mazinaate, Inc., Winnipeg), Michael McCrossan (Carleton University), James Moore (City of Kelowna), Karen Bridget Murray (York University), Evelyn J. Peters (University of Winnipeg), Jenna Strachan (Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Kelowna BC ), Ryan Walker (University of Saskatchewan), and Robert Young (University of Western Ontario).
