Description
This seminar examines selected topics dealing with urban Indigenous issues. Topics may include the viability of urban Indigenous governance, urban reserves, and Indigenous education and economic development issues in the inner city. The issue of differing conceptions of Indigenous representation and identity held by various Indigenous organizations is a particularly challenging and contentious issue in the urban context. The portability and applicability of Indigenous and treaty rights in the urban environment may also be explored. We may also analyze the unique problems created by the range of jurisdictional responsibilities towards Indigenous people in the urban environment.
