This book explores how Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) can be integrated into Indigenous engagement and consultation processes in Canada?s natural resource sector. The author critiques the existing regulatory framework, which separates formal legal consultation from informal social engagement, and argues for a more holistic approach that centers Indigenous rights, participation, and sovereignty. By moving beyond legal compliance and risk management approaches, the author proposes a new model for inclusive partnerships between Indigenous communities, industry, and government. He examines how FPIC can foster meaningful relationships, facilitate collaborative governance, and transform approaches to resource development. Drawing on research and practice, this book offers practical insights for scholars, policymakers, industry leaders, and Indigenous communities navigating these complex issues.
