Siomonn Pulla - Böcker

In Eastern Métis, Michel Bouchard, Sébastien Malette, and Siomonn Pulla demonstrate the historical and social evidence for the origins and continued existence of Métis communities across Ontario, Quebec, and the Canadian Maritimes as well as the West. Contributors to this edited collection explore archival and historical records that challenge narratives which exclude the possibility of Métis communities and identities in central and eastern Canada. Taking a continental rhizomatic approach, this book provides a rich and nuanced view of what it means to be Métis.

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.

This book examines the experiences of the first graduates from The Doctor of Social Sciences (DSocSci) program at Royal Roads University, Canada’s first applied research doctorate designed exclusively for working professionals.
