Understanding Economic Development and Reconciliation with First Nations in BC: The Case for Accelerating Economic Engagement

February 28, 2013
Jayne Murdock

Jurisdictions around the world have engaged in a wide variety of initiatives to reconcile the rights of iindigenous peoples within post-colonial government and market economies.

As a province largely without ratified treaties, British Columbia has, by practical and legal necessity, developed a relatively unique set of public and private sector tools to facilitate natural resource development activity on the land base.

In this issue of Policy Perspectives, we highlight the diversity of initiatives underway in British Columbia to advance economic development on the land base. The paper makes the case that there is a promising, albeit challenging, opportunity to move progressively down a path of economic and social reconciliation that will provide tangible benefits to both First Nations and the province as a whole.
