The capacity of Canadian Indians for local government on their reservesNicholls, John England Oscar January 1966 (has links)
In studying the capacity of Canadian Indians for local government on their reserves two objects are sought. First we wish to show the extent to which Indians are involved in directing the affairs of their communities. Second, we hope to discover where Indians, in comparison with other Canadians, are incapacitated by virtue of their special legal, social and economic status.
Research for this study was gleaned from files, publications and records of interviews in the offices of the Indian Affairs Branch of the federal government, provincial departments of municipal affairs and offices of municipal associations in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.
We begin our study by investigating the reality of local government for non-Indians. Then we look at the capacity of Indians for similar forms of local authority on their reserves. Capacity is examined in terms of legal competence, existing economic and administrative ability to carry out local functions and potential for future development of local government.
Non-Indian local government is developed under a complex set of provincial legal and economic controls. Non-Indian municipalities appear to be mainly oriented towards the provision of local services. In contrast Indian local government is developed under the federal legislation of the Indian Act. A flexible interpretation of the Act by federal officials permits the development of local government forms to suit the needs of particular reserves. On the other hand controls exercised by federal officials, along with deficiencies in local economic resources and administrative skills, tend to retard the growth of local government.
A possible way for the reduction of differences between Indian and non-Indian capacities would involve the integration of bands and municipalities within a common framework of local government. There is little evidence at present of such integration if measured in terms of transactions between bands and municipalities, common opportunities under federal and provincial programs of grants and joint membership in regional governments and local government associations.
A set of alternative courses is considered for Indian communities to follow in the future. We conclude that evolution of local government under the Indian Act seems the most appropriate means by which Indian capacities can be used both to improve local services and to develop non-Indian political skills among Indians. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

From aboriginality to governmentality:the meaning of section 35(1) and the power of legal discourseHannigan, David 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines recent doctrinal developments regarding the aboriginal and treaty
rights which are recognised and affirmed in s.35(l) of the Constitution Act, 1982.
Specifically, it explores how the meaning of such rights is being constituted by diverse
relations of power operating within specific 'cites' of struggle.
Chapter I is a brief introduction to recent transformations in the legal discourse of the
Supreme Court and an overview of the methodologies being employed in this thesis. In
this regard, the author undertakes an interdisciplinary approach to discourse analysis.
Chapter II draws upon the writings of Michel Foucault to make the argument for the
analytical framework being utilised; namely, the study of 'law' within a 'sovereign- discipline-
government' society.
Chapter III examines the relationship between the productive power of the disciplines
and the legal discourse constituting the content of aboriginal rights; the purpose being to
explore to what extent law 'operates as a norm' within this area. Additionally, it provides
a lead into the discussion of 'government' by outlining the rationality underpinning the
test for the justified governmental infringement of aboriginal and treaty rights.
Chapter IV, examines the relationship between the regulatory power of 'government'
and the legal discourse around current treaty negotiations. Specifically, it explores the
inter-dependency between rationalities of self-government and the governmental
technologies associated with 'advanced' liberalism. In doing so, it focuses on an
emerging treaty from British Columbia to assess the extent to which law is being used as
'a tactic of government'.
Chapter V, examines the relationship between the deductive power of 'sovereignty' and
the legal discourse constituting the content of Aboriginal title. It argues that recent developments require the Court to deal with the issue of legal pluralism. And to do so, in
a way that lays a more successful foundation in law for the legitimate reconciling of the
pre-existence of First Nations societies and the sovereignty of the Crown.
Chapter VI provides some concluding comments about the insights gained from the
proceeding analysis. In doing so, it offers a brief discussion of how the proceeding
specific analysis may relate to some recent work in post-colonial studies. / Law, Peter A. Allard School of / Graduate
