Conference 2017

Keynote: Building Institutions based on Respect for Indigenous Peoples

October 04, 2017

9:30am-10:30am

Planners are integral to this change—more and more indigenous people are moving into cities; resource development in traditional territories depends on the consent and participation of Indigenous people and their communities; Aboriginal land claims require significant consultation.
