Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of creating business partners with industry and Aboriginal communities. It covers topics such as financing joint ventures, perception of investors on Aboriginal projects, managing risks and potential ownership schemes for joint ventures, with particular reference to the duty to consult Aboriginal peoples regarding any actions that affect their mineral right, treaty right, or Aboriginal title. First Nation involvement is directed at local employment and economic participation around traditional lands. Recent trends show that there is increased business involvement and opportunities for employment for First Nations. The elements for a prosperous partnership between First Nations and the business community were described. The following 3 duty to consult cases were highlighted: (1) Mikisew Cree First Nation versus the Minister of Canadian Heritage; (2) Kitkatla versus British Columbia Minister of Small Business, Tourism and Culture; and, (3) Cheslatta Carrier Nation versus British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act. The paper also highlighted developments in Aboriginal title post-Delgamuukw-pronouncement regarding land and resource titles in British Columbia. 81 refs.
