Resource Extraction Papers
 Cultural Considerations |
For many northern Inuit communities, the resource extraction industries may appear to be at odds with their cultural practices of sustainable and respectful use of the environment. |
 Economic Considerations |
The mining industry offers huge economic potential for Canada’s territorial governments, northern Aboriginal governments and Aboriginal community members. |
 Gender Considerations |
Resource extraction industries such as mining and oil and gas development are traditionally viewedas male-dominated. Yet these industries affect the lives of male and female community residents in unique and diverse ways. |
 Political Considerations |
It is difficult to separate the political dimensions of northern resource development from the economic dimensions that underlie and guide many political decisions. |
 Social Considerations |
Relationships with the land, the harvest of traditional natural resources, and the resulting social relationships connect people in small and remote Aboriginal communities. |
