Canada’s Resilient North: The Impact of Mining on Aboriginal Communities |
Description: This paper reviews some of the effects that mining industries can have on well-being at the individual, family, and community levels in the Northwest Territories. It does not cover all impacts, but drills into a few effects in an effort to understand and build up a model of resilience, which helps to explain how impacts are distributed, experienced, and mediated. Resilience — the quality that helps communities respond to change and moderate impact — is an under-researched area of impact assessment. After describing the industry, we consider the question: what factors affect whether an individual or community experiences the impact from a mine?
