Modern treaties, increased self-government, new environmental
assessment rules, co-management bodies, and increased recognition
and respect of Indigenous rights make it possible for northern
communities to exert some control over extractive industries.
Whether these industries can increase the well-being and
sustainability of Canada's Arctic communities, however, is still
open to question. Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of
Canada's Arctic Communities delves into the final research findings
of the Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic project
which attempted to determine what was required for extractive
industry to benefit northern communities. Drawing on case studies,
this book explores how northern communities can capture and
distribute a fairer share of financial benefits, how they can use
extractive activities for business development, the problems and
possibilities of employment and training opportunities, and the
impacts on gender relations. It also considers fly-in fly-out work
patterns, subsistence activities, housing, post-mine clean-up
activities, waste management, and ways of monitoring positive and
negative impacts. While extractive industries could potentially
help improve the sustainability of Canada's Arctic, many issues
stand in the way, most notably power imbalances that limit the
ability of Indigenous Peoples to equitably participate in their
governance. Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada's
Arctic Communities emphasizes the general need to determine how new
institutions and processes, which are largely imported from the
south, can be adapted to allow for a more authentic participation
from the Indigenous Peoples of Canada's Arctic.
