This article in the official magazine of the Canadian Institute of Planners traces attempts to recognize Indigenous rights through planning since the Calder decision in 1973. The authors examine co-management based in modern agreements, as well as implications of the 2004 Haida and Taku Supreme Court decisions for the duty to consult in land and resource planning processes. The authors argue for a “deeper form of coexistence,” beyond merely including Indigenous Peoples in existing planning paradigms. They envision a future in which Indigenous knowledge and governance is allowed to sit alongside and be given just as much standing as more conventional, non-Indigenous modes of planning.
