The First Nations Environmental Assessment Toolkit is intended "to provide information that will assist First Nations in understanding EA processes and in asking questions that can help them to assess the acceptability of a project from their First Nation's perspective." The toolkit describes the basics of environmental assessment, as well as specific aspects of the regulatory processes for environmental assessments under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act (BCEAA), the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), and joint review processes with more than one regulatory authority. The toolkit is set up like a workbook, with sidebar boxes highlighting certain points, or providing quick tips and key definitions. Text boxes of additional information, such as web-links or documents for further reading are presented at the end of each chapter. There is space for writing notes, sample checklists, and brief case studies. There are also two detailed case studies illustrating the experiences of Aboriginal groups in the Voisey's Bay Nickel Mine project and the Tulsequah Chief Project. Although the toolkit focuses on environmental assessment practice in British Columbia, there is a great deal that would be useful to indigenous organizations and communities in other jurisdictions in Canada and around the world.
