Kakadu National Park, located in the Northern Territory of Australia, possesses within its boundaries a number of large uranium deposits. The uranium is legally owned by the Australian Government, and is sold internationally, having a large effect on the Australian economy. The mining has been controversial, due to the widespread publicity regarding the potential danger of nuclear power and uranium mining, as well as because of objections by some indigenous groups. This controversy is significant because it involves a number of important political issues in Australia: Native Title, the environment, and Federal-State-Territory relations.
The Ojibwe language is spoken in a series of dialects occupying adjacent territories, forming a language complex in which mutual intelligibility between adjacent dialects may be comparatively high but declines between some non-adjacent dialects. Mutual intelligibility between some non-adjacent dialects, notably Ottawa, Severn Ojibwe, and Algonquin, is low enough that they could be considered distinct languages. There is no single dialect that is considered the most prestigious or most prominent, and no standard writing system that covers all dialects. The relative autonomy of the regional dialects of Ojibwe is associated with an absence of linguistic or political unity among Ojibwe-speaking groups.

The Barriere Lake Trilateral Agreement is a resource co-management framework covering 1 million hectares of traditional Algonquin territory in Northern Quebec. It was signed August 22, 1991 by the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, The Government of Quebec, and the Government of Canada. The agreement set out four years to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the forestry and wildlife resources in the region and draft and implement a long-term integrated co-management plan between the Algonquin community and the Government of Quebec. It is considered significant in that it presented a model example of indigenous co-management and an alternative to comprehensive land claims policies based on extinguishing title. It was commended by the United Nations as a trailblazer of indigenous-state partnership and sustainable development. The principles of the Trilateral agreement have been upheld as a promising example of indigenous sovereignty and reconciliation for other projects across Canada
