Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) have been framed as an opportunity for Indigenous peoples to reclaim stewardship of their territories, create space for Indigenous resurgence and cultural revitalization, and transform approaches to protected areas in Canada. This project was developed in partnership with the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq (CMM) and the Unama’ki Institute for Natural Resources (UINR) – two Mi’kmaw organizations that serve the 13 Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia (NS). This project contributes to knowledge generation around IPCA governance in NS and to literature relevant to Indigenous-led conservation initiatives in Canada more broadly. The objectives of this research project were to: 1) Identify the key factors that have created space for IPCAs in Canada and Nova Scotia; 2) Interpret and analyze protected areas governance models to identify potential desirable governance arrangements in this context; and 3) Explore Mi’kmaw aspirations and perspectives on IPCAs.
