dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores how Indigenous governance, as specific to Nuxalk, is important to Canada’s understanding of historic land dispossession, reconciliation, and community development. The study demonstrates how Nuxalk governance is inseparable from Nuxalk homelands, how governance supports Nuxalkmc’s rights and responsibilities related to their homelands and explores whether or not Nuxalk land governance is supported, broadly speaking, by specific goals in the Province of British Columbia’s Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Action Plan. Most importantly, the research will help to illuminate how Nuxalk governance is applicable, functioning, and practiced by Nuxalk people today.
