2014 roundup preview
A common hurdle for both explorers and for Aboriginal communities is
the ability to engage, share information
and reach an understanding. This course
strives to help in this regard. It will consist of three parts:
1.An introductory overview of
Aboriginal Peoples.
2.The new AME BC Aboriginal
Engagement Guidebook for Mineral
Explorers: A Principled Approach will
be related to practical situations and
experiences common to explorers
and Aboriginal communities in the
early stages of exploration.
3.Aboriginal panellists will share
their respective views and concerns
tied to real life situations in their
communities in B.C. and will speak
about how they see engagement and
consultation from their particular
points of view.
All parts will be as interactive as time allows.
