International and domestic rights frameworks are setting the stage for the full recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ rights in Canada. However, current political promises to restore Indigenous relations, to reconcile historic wrongs, and to foster mutual prosperity and well-being for all people within Canada remain woefully unfulfilled. Indigenous Peoples continue to call for full engagement with emerging Indigenous rights frameworks such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and its principles of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC). This article discusses the key findings from a multi-year university–community research partnership with Matawa First Nations in which we collaboratively seek to advance understanding of consultation processes and Indigenous experiences of and perspectives on FPIC. The article, based on several years of dialogue and interviews and a two-day workshop on FPIC, offers insight into Indigenous perspectives on FPIC advancing an Indigenous-informed relational approach to consultation and consent seeking.

寻求自由，事先和知情同意（FPIC）的土著知情关系方法

国际和国内权利框架为充分承认加拿大土著人民的权利奠定了基础。但是，目前恢复加拿大原住民关系，和解历史性错误，以及促进加拿大境内所有人的共同繁荣和福祉的政治承诺仍未实现。土著人民继续呼吁充分参与新兴的土著权利框架，例如《联合国土著人民权利宣言》（UNDRIP）及其自由，事先和知情同意的原则（FPIC）。本文讨论了与Matawa First Nations的多年大学-社区研究合作伙伴关系的主要发现，在这些合作伙伴中，我们共同寻求加深对协商流程以及FPIC的土著经验和观点的理解。
