Negotiations and consultations are central to managing relations among Indigenous governments and organizations, non-Indigenous governments (municipal, provincial, and federal), and non-Indigenous groups (e.g., businesses, NGOs). This course has three goals: 1) provide an overview of the state of legal and political environment on consultation, including legal benchmarks arising from court decisions on the duty to consult and accommodate; 2) examine seminal and current research on consultation and negotiations among Northern actors; and 3) provide applied learning experience through negotiation simulation exercises. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursNote: This course is mutually-exclusive with NORD 838.3: Communications II – Negotiations and Consultations because of overlapping content. Students cannot receive credit for both courses.
