  • Differences Between Self-Governing First Nations and Indian Act Bands

    Differences Between Self-Governing First Nations and Indian Act Bands

    QS-Y347-004-BB-A1 Differences between Self-Governing First Nations and Indian Act Bands. Many of Canada’s First Nation communities are still governed by the Indian Act, and are referred to as Bands. This means that their reserve lands, monies, other resources and governance structure are managed by the provisions in the Indian Act. In the Yukon however, the majority of First Nations are self-governing. Self-Governing Yukon First Nations direct their own affairs, and for the most part, the Indian Act no longer applies to them, their Citizens, or to settlement land. The following is a brief comparison of the differences between Indian Act Bands and Self-Governing Yukon First Nations. Indian Act Bands: Only three Yukon First Nations remain under the Indian Act. The Indian Act applies to members of a Band, who have “status.” Land that is provided for use and benefit of the Band cannot be owned by the Band or individual members. Core funding for the Band is determined by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The Band government is accountable to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Self‑Governing Yukon First Nations There are eleven Self-Governing Yukon First Nations. The Indian Act no longer applies to the First Nation or its Citizens (although individual citizens may still be entitled to “status” under the Act). The First Nation’s land is owned and managed by the First Nation government. The First Nation sets its own priorities and its election process is defined by its Constitution. The First Nation has the ability to tax its Citizens and other residents.

New institutions of public government with responsibilities for land use planning and resources management are being created pursuant to land claim settlements. Resource management boards have, or will assume from DIAND, many of its historical regulatory responsibilities. However, in the interim, DIAND is still responsible for managing federal lands in a way that complements the activities of the new institutions and governments. This includes, as a specific component of DIAND’s sustainable development strategy, continuing to develop a program for the effective management of granular resources.

Ideas from Integrated Watershed Management appear to be well suited to the regional context but additional tools are needed to synthesize data from two distinct systems: western scientific methods and traditional knowledge. This study showed the tools and techniques of conceptual modeling advance integrated watershed management in a manner that considers local values and is consistent with newer legal requirements in the southwest Yukon. Conceptual modeling techniques helped to identify critical links

Activity at the Ne Ch’e Ddhäwa eruptive center overlapped with the last stages of the Wolverine Creek eruptive centers. Hyaloclastic tuff was erupted between ca. 3.21 and 3.05 Ma. This eruption caused or was coincident with damming of Yukon River. The first demonstrable incursion of a Cordilleran ice sheet into the Fort Selkirk area was coincident with a second eruption of the Ne Ch’e Ddhäwa eruptive center ca.

Abstract The late Cenozoic history of McQuesten map area is characterized by progressively less extensive glaciations and deteriorating interglacial climates. The glaciations, from oldest to youngest, are the pre-Reid (a minimum of two early to mid Pleistocene glaciations).
