The Relational Governance Project looks at how First Nations create forms of shared jurisdiction with each other


“Relational governance is ultimately meant to help people identify forms of authority, citizenship and law that work towards building Indigenous institutions. Additionally, relational governance provides the mechanism to help people conduct the public dialogue necessary to make decisions collectively.

Matthew Wildcat, “Weaving Our Authority Together: Transforming the Prairie Indigenous Order,” p. 212
