xviii, 159 pages : 24 cm, \"Much of the coverage surrounding the relationship between Indigenous communities and the Crown in Canada has focused on the federal, provincial, and territorial governments. Yet it is at the local level where some of the most important and significant partnerships are being made between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.\"--, \"In A Quiet Evolution, Christopher Alcantara and Jen Nelles look closely at hundreds of agreements from across Canada and at four case studies drawn from Ontario, Quebec, and Yukon Territory to explore relationships between Indigenous and local governments. By analyzing the various ways in which they work together, the authors provide an original, transferable framework for studying any type of intergovernmental partnership at the local level. Timely and accessible, A Quiet Evolution is a call to politicians, policymakers and citizens alike to encourage Indigenous and local governments to work towards mutually beneficial partnerships.\"--, \"The Institute of Public Administration of Canada sponsors this series to shed light on new theories, new understandings, and new knowledge.\"--Page xii, Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-152) and index, Indigenous-local agreements in Canada : an analysis of regional and historical trends -- The roots of collective action : a theoretical framework -- Business as usual : Sault Ste Marie, Garden River, and Batchewana -- Strong synergy : village of Teslin and Teslin Tlingit Council -- In the loop : village of Haines Junction and Champagne and Aishihik First Nations -- Agreement-centred : regional municipality of Les Basques and Malécite de Viger First Nations
