In Canada there is a duty to consult and engage with First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Northerns, and the public regarding any Government activity that might adversely impact Indigenous people or their treaty rights, under the Constitution Act of 1982. This duty to consult is important for businesses who may need to use Crown land for purposes such a mining, forestry, drilling, etc. Government of Canada and the Duty to Consult
Note that the duty to consult means business cannot be undertaken on treaty land, unceded territory, or Metis settlements without first buiding a relationship with the First Nations, Inuit and/or Metis people who inhabit those lands.
For more information on treaties see the Treaties Subject Guide.
