An Application For Ethical Approval

Throughout history, the Native people of North America and the Europeans have continually had arguments and disputes over land. To this day there are still issues trying to be resolved. Twenty years ago, the beginning of one of the most violent and intense land disputes in present day Canada occurred. This event is now referred to as the Oka Crisis, named after the town Oka in Quebec. This crisis caused a confrontation involving the Quebec provincial police, the Canadian armed forces and the Mohawk people.1 The stand that the Mohawk people took in the town of Oka became a major revelation for the aboriginal people spreading awareness of aboriginal rights across Canada.

The Canadian government says that it is dedicated to making its obligations to First Nations by discussing issues and bringing closure to all claims. Canada likes to underlie that by looking at the historic inequality and building strong partnerships among First Nations people; governments, and the private sector are emerging. Nevertheless, the current progress of First Nations Land Claims is very unhurried and seems to be deliberately painstaking.

The Grassy Narrows (Asubpeeschoseewagong) First Nation is an Ojibwa First Nation located north of Kenora, ON. The community has been fighting against environmental injustices imposed on them from various actors over the last 40 years (Rodgers, 2009, para. 10), involving issues with mercury poisoned fish (para. 1) clear cutting of their lands (para. 27) and subsequent degradation of their land, water and food sources. This essay will detail the environmental justice struggles of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, point out the unfair treatment and environmental racism they have been subject to and will also question the role that authority, power and litigation have played within the community.

What are ethics and how do they affect decision-making? According to the Santa Clara University, "[…] [E]thics refers to well based standards of right and wrong […]." Ethics are not the same as religion, but "Religion can set high ethical standards and can provide intense motivations for ethical behavior" (Santa Clara University). What about the law? There can be a law in place, but that does not necessarily mean that the law is ethical. An example could be that San Francisco makes it illegal for people to sleep in the parks at night. What about the homeless people that camped out at the parks and now has nowhere else to go? People sleep in the parks during the day, nighttime is not any different except that

2. Guides, customer records, and work force documents will keep on being requested into courts in light of the fact that the legitimate framework believes the documentation contains data expected to settle on choices about youngster care, automatic hospitalization, and a wide cluster of different circumstances, including assertions of deceptive conduct.

The reading of “Defending the Land: Sovereignty and Forest life in James Bay Cree Society” by Ronald Niezan is a great reading. Mr. Niezan illustrates how Cree people live and what they still currently do to protect their land and religion. This book also allows us to understand that people will try to take what they can’t have because that’s exactly what Canada’s government tries to accomplish with new construction projects and other

This report aims to build a long-term relationship between the TD branch and the Lower Kootenay First Nations, and that helps TD to have a general overview of the band. I will detail the reasons why we should start and develop the on-reserve home loan program. Also, this report will provide some related information such as the background of the band, land management, housing principles, cultural sensitivities, and two options of the program. At the end of the report, I will give some recommendations on the ways to approach the band and how we can gain support from them.

In the 1800s the fur trade had a great impact on the lifestyle of the Cree Indians, both economically and culturally. The fur trade helped the Natives make an income and obtain goods they could not get before. However great the impact of the fur trading was on their economy, the decline in fur bearing animals had a devastating effect on their culture. It can therefore be said that although the fur trade had a positive short term impact on the Cree Indian’s economy, in the long term, the cultural ways of living that were adapted and lost impacted them negatively.

The project was reviewed and accepted by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), to work with human subjects.

“Tribe Claims Cross-Border Rights as Hunting Violations Head to Canadian Court” by Emily Schwing is an article about a tribe’s land being used as hunting grounds. This article is very controversial because the Tribe; Sinixt people who had claim over the land was thought to not exist anymore. The Canadian Government had viewed the tribe as no longer existing when the last member of the Tribe had died in 1953. People such as Rick Desautel had then started crossing borders from the United States to Canada and back in 2010 and 2011, hunting on the Sinixt peoples land. This also shows an insight on how important a Tribe’s land really is to them. It is known that if a Tribe member were to get into any sort of conflict the Tribe would provide support

(Berger 214) His commitment to engaging in genuine discussion with indigenous communities, and to providing them with a platform to have their voices heard by Southern Canada is clearly evident. For example, regarding the notion of land he states that “the native people's relationship to the land is so different from that of the dominant culture that only through their words can we comprehend it.” (137) Berger's approach, which is largely focused on dialogue, demonstrates his treatment of the natives as active participants in his research with meaningful contributions. Furthermore, his approach is results-driven, as his recommendations follow from consideration of their potential consequences. This is similar to the “emancipatory research” Smith describes, which aims to empower communities and support their betterment.

In this article, the author visits a Doukhobor community in the Swan river valley. In the article, he portrays the Doukhobors in a good light, describing their cultural practices and saying that the government should leave them be to become Canadians on their own terms. I want to use this source to demonstrate that there was a conflict brewing between the Canadian government and the Doukhobor community due to the rejection of private property.
