Issues in entrenching Aboriginal self-government : report on the workshop held on February 16-18, 1987 / David C. Hawkes and Evelyn J. Peters
"The purpose of the workshop was to examine the concerns, particularly those of federal, provincial and territorial governments, regarding the entrenchment of the right to self-government for aboriginal peoples in the constitution. Issues of several types were identified - political, legal, financial, as well as basic values - and their prospects for resolution analyzed. The objective was to identify possible areas of consensus and conflict in the search for accommodation. The workshop, held on February 16-18, 1987, was the third and final one of a series organized by the Institute of Intergovernmental Relations, and was part of the Institute's larger project on "Aboriginal Peoples and Constitutional Reform"." -- Introduction
