“…Treaty rights are context-specific rights stemming from negotiated nation-to-nation agreements between specific Indigenous communities and the Crown following the arrival of European settlers (Newman, 2009;Porter, 2010;Slattery, 2000). They are separate from Aboriginal rights and, in certain cases, treaty rights may recognize, reinforce, or even reshape certain Aboriginal rights (Slattery, 2000).…”

This article provides an in-depth analysis of selective land use and resource management policies in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It examines their relative capacity to recognize the rights of First Nations and Aboriginal peoples and their treaty rights, as well as their embodiment of past Crown-First Nations relationships. An analytical framework was developed to evaluate the manifest and latent content of 337 provincial texts, including 32 provincial acts, 269 regulatory documents, 16 policy statements, and 5 provincial plans. This comprehensive document analysis classified and assessed how current provincial policies address First Nation issues and identified common trends and areas of improvement. The authors conclude that there is an immediate need for guidance on how provincial authorities can improve policy to make relationship-building a priority to enhance and sustain relationships between First Nations and other jurisdictions.

“…The overarching question and four primary indicators (Table 4) that inform this element of the analytical framework were chosen because they act as points of reference into how prepared governing officials and planning policymakers are in actively challenging and restructuring the status quo of Indigenous peoples-state relations based on the content of planning texts. The four indicators provide insight into what may be missing from current planning policy and collectively draw on Porter (2011), Borrows (1997), Corntassel and Holder (2008), Hibbard et al (2008), Maaka and Porter (2010), the RCAP (1996), Regan (2010), Sandercock (2004), Turner (2006) and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (United Nations, 2007). Active reconciliation along with the previous three elements, serve to advance discussions about how we can move from the conceptual to actual changes in order to plan differently through mutual understanding and learning between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples on common ground.…”

Indigenous rights are crucial to contemporary land use planning and policy in settler states. This article comparatively analyzes the manifest and latent content of the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) of Ontario, Canada and the 1999 Auckland Council Regional Policy Statement (ACRPS) of Aotearoa New Zealand in order to evaluate their relative capacity to recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples. While the results show that jurisdiction is an impediment to fostering common ground between Indigenous peoples and settler states, the authors conclude that the PPS and the ACRPS serve vital roles in building dialogue and equitable planning outcomes.

“…(Healey and Upton 2010; Naser and Volait 2003) Much of the exporting has taken place under colonial conditions. (Home 1997;King 1977;Perera 2005;Porter, 2010) The exporting has not been a direct process: Planning was carried through planning practices and laws by engineers and planners, but first adapted within the colonial system and negotiated by local officials. (King 1977;Perera 2005;Ward 2002) The acceptance of the discourse by local planners requires them to empathize with its creators' worldviews, i.e., develop a colonial mindset.…”

“…(Perera 2009b;Porter, 2010;Rahder 2009;Tang and Mizuoka 2010) A critical examination of this discourse, especially from local socio-cultural perspectives is long overdue. This issue expects to contribute to building such critical understanding.…”
