Principles of efficient economic development for the aboriginal communities in the Canadian North
The paper reviews the situation of aboriginal peoples of the North of Canada on the case of Inuit over the last four decades. It shows profound changes that have taken place in the life of northern people in the social sphere, culture and economy. These transformations are seen in the formation and establishment of aboriginally-controlled and staffed agencies of state administration of northern areas, delegation of rights and powers from federal to territorial agencies, conclusion of agreements on complicated land claims with Inuit living in Inuvialuit and with Inuit living in Nunavut, Nunavik and Labrador. All these factors have been most intensive in relation to Inuit whose life in economic terms has radically changed.
