Summary:
The resource sector must embrace Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Much of the land, the waters, and all that lived upon or in them is, or was once, under the stewardship of Indigenous Peoples. But when it comes to resource extraction, Indigenous communities have often paid the highest price, and received the least in the way of benefit. That's changing, and quickly. Today and in the future, the involvement in and views of Indigenous communities for any large-scale proposed development project are critical. In Weaving Two Worlds, Christy Smith and Michael McPhie offer insights, knowledge, and guidance from their decades of work between resources companies and Indigenous communities. Smith and McPhie offer two voices from two worlds--Indigenous and non-Indigenous--to show how the resource sector can play a meaningful role in advancing Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Using powerful case studies, personal stories, guidelines, and tools for reflection, they offer an invaluable guide for understanding decolonization and becoming an ally.
