Indigenous and Canadian Government Relationships
This micro-credential course is part of a training initiative by Canadian Colleges for a Resilient Recovery (C2R2) and the Government of Canada to provide workers with new skills needed to support a clean economy.
The Indigenous and Canadian Government Relationships micro-credential course focuses on Section 35 of the Constitution Act and the Duty to Consult. Using an Indigenous lens, students will learn about the relevant laws, principles, policies and obligations to work towards reconciliation, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action.
This course provides:
- The tools to complete a jurisdictional scan involving federal and provincial acts and the Natural Resource Transfer Act (NRTA).
- Knowledge of community and land-based research approaches, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and principles of ownership, control, access and possession (OCAP).
- The ability to identify obligations related to data, intellectual property rights and legal obligations related to agreements and contracts.
- Analysis of a case study that has established precedence of consultation determinants of Section 35.
