Aboriginal Participation
Natural Resources Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector (MMS) is committed to promoting Aboriginal participation in mining activities throughout Canada. As part of the Minerals and Metals Policy of the Government of Canada, MMS encourages partnerships and dialogue between Aboriginal communities, the mining industry and governments to ensure mutual understanding and benefits. MMS also generates and disseminates knowledge, information and tools for capacity-building and sound decision-making in Aboriginal communities and works to increase understanding of mining and its components.
