  • The Sechelt Indian Band: an Analysis of a New Form of Native Self Government
    THE SECHELT INDIAN BAND: AN ANALYSIS OF A NEW FORM OF NATIVE SELF GOVERNMENT CAROL E. ETKIN Faculty Of Environmental Studies, Yo r k U n i ve r s i t y Downsview, Ontario, Canada, M3J 1P3. ABSTRACT/RESUME In 1984 the Sechelt Indian Band of British Columbia became the first indigenous Band in Canada to develop its own consti- tution and to withdraw the lands of the reserve from the Indian Act. This article studies the process which leads to Native Self Government, and the structure of the new government. En 1984, la bande Sechelt de la Colombie britannique devint la première bande autochtone du Canada à développer sa propre constitution et à retirer les terres de la réserve de l'Acte Indien. Cet article étudie le processus qui mène à l'autonomie, et la structure du nouveau gouvernement. 74 Carol E. Etkin Introduction The Sechelt Band in British Columbia has recently regained self- government through special federal and provincial enabling legisla- tion. This paper will examine this unique legislative solution to one Band's search for self-determination. The paper will look at various concepts of self-government and aboriginal rights to set the context for the following discussion. Varying concepts of land tenure and land holding will be viewed. The paper will look at the Sechelt Band, who they are and how they came to create this new level of government in Canada. The legal framework which enabled this third level of government to come into existence will be examined in light of the powers, responsibilities, and duties that were redistributed among the Fed- eral Government, Province and Band.
