  • Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council
    Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council - Province of British Columbia Political Accord on Advancing Recognition, Reconciliation, and Implementation of Title and Rights 1. The Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) is a governing entity of the Nlaka’pamux peoples. The NNTC is committed to protecting, asserting and exercising Nlaka’pamux Title and Rights to bring about the self-sufficiency and well-being of the Nlaka’pamux people. The NNTC member communities are Boothroyd, Lytton, Boston Bar, Oregon Jack Creek, Skuppah, and Spuzzum. 2. The Province and the NNTC have entered into a number of agreements regarding the use of Nlaka’pamux territory that have been a foundation for collaborative relations. The agreements include: Interim Forestry Appendix/Agreement (2016) Economic and Community Development Agreement (ECDA) dealing with shared decision-making and revenue sharing in relation to the ongoing operations of the Highland Valley Copper Mine (2013) Land and Resource Shared Decision Making Pilot Agreement (2014, as amended) These agreements, and the relations they foster, have helped the Province and NNTC move through challenging conflicts, and establish a foundation for moving forward together on important decisions and actions. 3. The Land and Resource Shared Decision Making (SDM) Pilot Agreement established a foundational shared decision making model, and a joint Board structure. The SDM Board established a new way of co-operating between the Nlaka’pamux Nation and the Province. The Board structure and collaborative process moves away from individual and isolated assessments of potential impacts of any proposed project on Nlaka’pamux Title and Rights, to a shared and transparent process where there is equal accountability.

McCallum, Karen R. Grant et Brenda Elias Cette étude de cas offre un témoignage historique du parcours qui a caractérisé l’élaboration du programme de baccalauréat en sciences infirmières en région nordique, notamment dans la province du Manitoba. L’approche utilisée dans le cadre de l’étude est axée sur les efforts d’autodétermination (gouvernance) déployés par le conseil tribal des Moskégons dans les domaines de la santé et de l’éducation.Ayant recours aux archives de la Faculté des sciences infirmières de l’Université du Manitoba, les auteurs livrent les grandes lignes de la chronologie du baccalauréat nordique du programme de sciences infirmières, en quatre phases : la conception (1982 à 1986); l’élaboration (1986 à 1988); la gestion (1986 à 1990); la mise en œuvre et la clôture (1990 à 1994). Les répercussions contemporaines générées par un partenariat à part entière entre les universités et les organisations autochtones font l’objet d’une discussion.
