"Responsible Resource Development”: Indigenous Sovereignty, Resilient Settler Colonialism and the Reconfiguration of Canadian Federal Environmental Governance



Abstract: 



This presentation interrogates some of the ways in which the recent reconfiguration of federal level environmental resource governance in Canada engages Indigenous sovereignty and struggles for self determination in the context of mining and mineral exploration.  The presentation will focus primarily on the ways in which federal commitments (since early 2012) to enhancing tax based mechanisms for financing mineral exploration and development confront Indigenous sovereignty, and the role that concepts of resilience and complexity play as intellectual resources in relation to the broader state-led project of reconciling Indigenous rights with an aggressive resource extraction agenda.
