This study has benefited from dialogue with a number of colleagues and friends whom I gratefully acknowledge. Dr. Carol LaPrairie's interest in Aboriginal issues provided an important stimulus to my thinking on the unique situation of First Nations ' communities and their organizations. Dr. Roger McDonnell added valuable insights from his ethnographic experience. Karen Green also provided a necessary balance on Aboriginal concerns. Highlights of current thinking among organizational theorists were graciously supplied by Anne-Marie Robinson who also thoroughly reviewed and commented on a previous draft of the report. Peter Frood and Catherine Bragg provided many helpful comments and suggestions and proved to be friendly and trenchant critics. Finally, Darrell Buffalo assisted by updating selected aspects of the First Nations Profile. I thank all of these individuals who are, of course, not responsible for any of the report's shortcomings.
