Beginning with the 1493 Inter Caetera Papal Bull, which laid the foundation for the Doctrine of Discovery, and continuing through subsequent colonial expansions, the authors trace a narrative of systematic appropriation of Indigenous land and resources by European powers, in connection with the emergence of Canada as a major player in the global mining sector over the past 150 years. The essay highlights how Indigenous peoples have long fought to reclaim their rights, examining repeated legal precedents that have affirmed Indigenous rights and title, and the need to consult and accommodate First Nations in the management of resources on their territories. Indigenous leadership will be essential in shaping the future of the mining industry, calling for a fundamental shift towards environmentally and socially responsible mining practices, rooted in mutual respect and a shared commitment to the stewardship of Earth’s resources for future generations.
