In recent years, Indian, Inuit, and Metis people have set a rapidly accelerating pace for economic, political and cultural development. Because aboriginal people's goals differ from those seen in the larger national context, their development programs often involve unique and distinct approaches that have only just begun to evolve. This book examines the historical context of aboriginal socio-economic development, depicts current trends and future developments, offers models for the formulation of successful development strategies, and looks at long-term prospects. It serves as a text for those studying the socio-economic development of aboriginal peoples for the purpose of professional training, as well as a resource for those who wish to know more about this field of growing importance. |
