dc.description.abstractThis report synthesizes 10 years of collaborative research with Indigenous and Tribal organizations in Guyana, Suriname, Colombia, Peru and Canada, and their supporters, on issues at the crossroads of extractive activities and Indigenous and Tribal rights. In 2009, Canada’s largest companies accounted for 32% of all exploration in Latin America and the largest share (32%) of reported mining-related conflicts. Governments and companies must recognize that Indigenous Peoples have a right to free, prior and informed consent. Their self-determination, autonomy, cultural identity and responsibilities to future generations are inextricably linked to this right.en
