Description

In this book, Christopher McKee traces the origins and development of treaty negotiations in British Columbia. Through examination of Native peoples’concerns, such as their role in natural resource development and the issue of compensation for lands and resources lost to industry and urban development, he analyzes conflicting points of view on the treaty-making process and suggests alternatives for a consensus.
