dc.description.abstract | Protocol Agreements have been used successfully as an intergovernmental relationship-building tool between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments in Canada during the last twenty years. In British Columbia, the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) and neighbouring First Nations governments created a Protocol Agreement that was signed in 2013. The Protocol Agreement has brought governments together where previously a relationship did not exist. The methods used in this research included a document analysis, and interviews with participants from the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) and RDOS. This case study research found that a number of successes have been achieved between the OIB and RDOS, although there are still numerous challenges in the intergovernmental relationship. The research concludes that for regional coexistence of cultures to occur successfully, both parties must have the political will to communicate, collaborate, and engage with their regional partners. All people in the region must sit together for their common good. | en_US |
