  • Governance Through Social Learning the CENTRE on GOVERNANCE SERIES
    Governance Through Social Learning THE CENTRE ON GOVERNANCE SERIES Governance is about guiding: it is the process whereby an organization steers itself. Studying governance means probing the distribution of rights, obliga- tions, and power that underpins organizations and social systems; under- standing how they co-ordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence; exploring the sources of dysfunction and lacklustre performance; and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair. Governance also has to do with the complex ways in which the private, public, and civic sectors co-ordinate their activities, with the manner in which citizens produce governance through their active participation in a democra- tic society, and with the instruments and processes required to ensure good and effective stewardship. This series welcomes a range of contributions - from conceptual and the- oretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of con- ferences and symposia to works of a very practical nature - that deal with particular problems or nexus of issues on the governance front.

The Europeans who occupied British Columbia in the nineteenth century placed the natives under a colonial style of administration. Without citizenship o r representation in t h e federal or provincial government for m a n y years, the Indians tried t o present their grievances to the government mainly through protest organizations.

    Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report NOTE TO READERS In keeping with the Indigenous languages, the Commission has endeavoured to reconcile the terminology used with the spelling preferred by the Indigenous peoples themselves. As such, the names used to designate the First Nations communities are those used in the Indigenous languages. The same goes for the nations. The unchanging nature of certain Indigenous words (e.g. Inuit) has also been observed. The term First Nations includes the Abénakis, Anishnabek (Algonquins), Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou (Cree), Hurons-Wendat, Innus, Malécites, Mi’gmaq, Mohawks and Naskapis. The expression Indigenous peoples designates First Nations and Inuit collectively. Also note that translations of quotations are our own, unless otherwise stated. This publication was drafted following the work of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec : listening, reconciliation and progress.
