| Summary: | Please do not cite without written permission of the authors. Aboriginal people, and particularly First Nations persons residing either on-reserve or off-reserve, face realities that are distinct from much of the general Canadian population. Although many services for First Nations people fall under federal jurisdiction, First Nations are also directly affected by provincial government policies and initiatives, such as natural resource development and transportation infrastructure, among other things; accordingly, provincial policies are of immediate interest to the on-reserve Aboriginal electorate. Yet despite this, Aboriginal provincial party support has yet to be fully explored in Canada. This paper will examine Aboriginal provincial party support in Manitoba by analyzing two data sources: 2007 Manitoba Election poll results supplied by Elections Manitoba and survey data from Probe Research’s Indigenous Voices Survey. The paper seeks to answer two questions: what are the provincial party preferences among Aboriginal Manitobans; and how can variations (or lack thereof) in Aboriginal party preferences be explained? |
