Self-Government Agreements
Self-Government Agreements are legal arrangements between Indigenous groups and the government that allow these communities to manage their own affairs. These agreements recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples to govern themselves, make decisions about their land, resources, and cultural practices, and establish their own laws and policies.
These agreements often include provisions for funding, resource management, and the protection of cultural heritage. They aim to empower Indigenous communities, promote self-determination, and improve the relationship between the government and Indigenous peoples, fostering greater respect for their rights and traditions.
