Modern Treaties Implementation Research Project

Modern treaties are difficult to negotiate, and are just as challenging to implement.

Between 2017-2025, the Modern Treaty Implementation Research Project brought together researchers from across Canada to work alongside land claim practitioners from members of the Land Claims Agreements Coalition, on a national, seven-year $2.5 million SSHRC Partnership Grant, undertaking research that aimed to assist Indigenous governments, Indigenous communities and other policy makers to improve modern treaty implementation.

The project produced diverse and nuanced understandings of modern treaty implementation, which will serve as a powerful and transformative basis for critiquing and innovating treaty implementation approaches into the future.

This archival website captures the story of the grant, and contains links to and downloadable products, and information about the work of the grant.
