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.
