- Abstract
Using person-centred interviews and employing thematic analysis, this paper evaluates Canadian Heritage's role in improving Aboriginal political participation in federal politics and overall political operations at the community level since the inception of its Aboriginal programming initiative in 1971. Specifically, did these programs achieve their goal of promoting Aboriginal participation in Canada society? And, if so, how will this fluid and competitive political environment influence Aboriginal-state relations, especially for those First Nations seeking to re-establish a nation-to-nation relationship with the federal Crown?
