| Summary: | This article examines the role that First Nations in Canada may play in preserving the nation-state against the forces of globalization. It focuses on the protests that First Nations in northern Ontario and northern Quebec have raised to hydro-electric development within their territories as a means of preserving their ways of life and the natural environment. These protests, it is argued, have resulted in the Canadian and provincial states agreeing to put constraints on hydro-electric development thereby limiting the ability of global forces to undermine the sovereign control of these resources of the First Nations and of Canada. |
