In the last few years there have been an increasing number of major development projects which have raised issues of native rights. The list includes the Bennett Darn, the Bighorn Darn, the James Bay project, the flooding of Southern Indian Lake, explora­tion and resource development in the Arctic and the Mackenzie valley pipeline. All these projects involve isolated areas with predominantly native populations. All involve projects designed to deliver energy resources to urban and industrial areas of North America. The phenomenon is not uniquely Canadian. In the United States the Black Mesa project and the Alaska oil discoveries are obvious parallels.
