Aboriginal Consideration and Involvement in Environmental Conservation in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the consideration for Canadian aboriginals in regards to environmental conservation in Canada. Within the last century in Canada, there has been little consideration for the environmental concerns and land claims proposed by the Canadian aboriginals. Part of reason for this could be that generally, as seen in the work of the Group of Seven, Canadian natives were not linked with the Canadian landscape. While some artists like Emily Carr depicted the disappearing ecology and native cultures the west, generally that work was not well received until recently. The disregard for native concerns continues in governmental and corporate policies administered today in which Canadian aboriginals have had to fight for the preservation of their homeland after industrial legislation has been granted to destroy it either by logging or fishing conflicts. While environmental groups often work hand in hand with the natives in regards to conservation, often times, they too conflict and disregard the aboriginal perspective. While there are some cases in which Canadian aboriginals have been successful in their fight to retain their land and conserve the environment, these struggles are still considered secondary to the desires of the provincial and federal governments and industry. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
