註釋One of the major cultural and economic issues facing both Australia and Canada concerns the governments' past and present failures to provide the 'first peoples' with appropriate development opportunities. Elspeth Young contrasts the materialist development approach of both big companies and governments with the stress the Indian, Inuit and Aboriginal peoples place on husbanding natural resources. Exploring why attempts to promote minority development have failed, whether models of sustainable development are applicable to remote area development as well as the crucial issue of self-determination, the book reveals the yawning gap between what people want and what governments are prepared to offer. The author argues that this gap can only be bridged by alternative approaches to development, centred on participation and the acknowledgement of these peoples' holistic sense of community. A brief overview of the development impact on Botswana's 'first peoples', the Basarwa, extends the comparative approach to the issue of indigenous groups in general, be they in first or third worlds.
