This is a federal presentation from the former Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development on the Implementation of the Inherent Right and Negotiation of Self-Government, circa 1997.
The 1995 ‘Inherent Right’ to Self-Government Policy remains the main policy for federal negotiations with First Nations, Inuit and Metis, and is the foundation of all post-1995 federal legislation directed at Indigenous Peoples, including the recent Indigenous Languages Act and the Indigenous Child & Family Act. The Self-Government Policy provides for the conversion of Indian Act Bands into Municipal type governments.
