• W226222060 abstract "First Nations Community Planning Model SL I would propose this because of its cleverness from a research point of view—not from the point of view of design. Because of the quality of the questions it asks and the scope of what it will do. JC Public participation outreach methodology? SL Done by an indigenous group. WM It really went in-depth in terms of participa- tory design. But it doesn’t get to a lot of physical things. JC It doesn’t get to any, does it? ALS This is such a wonderful model of how the planning process should be born. SL Yes, it is really good and it’s clear. SL This never would have happened in the United States. It can be done in Australia. And it can be done in Few people would argue that community planning is easy. But one only has to read between the lines of the First Nations Community Planning Model to see how extraordinarily difficult it is. To engage hard-pressed communities, such as those of Atlantic Canada’s first nations, in a truly participatory process that helps them seize control of their futures requires great skill, intelligence and perseverance. In a foreword to the First Nations Model, Frank Palermo, who directed its production, describes just a few of the obstacles: “There isn’t enough time; there aren’t enough resources; it’s not considered important…but the most significant barrier is that many communities don’t know the difference it makes and don’t often understand how to do it.” It is this last difficulty that the First Nations Model sets out most directly to address. The model emerged from an initiative of the Wagmatcook First Nation and the Joint Community Planning Committee (JCPC), a group that combines first-nation representatives with representatives of Canadian federal departments. According to Palermo, “rather than continuously reacting to government programs and day-to-day crises,” first-nations individuals came to the committee seeking help in developing a more forward-thinking way to manage development issues. On one level, then, the model addresses the need to improve the effectiveness of Canadian-government development programs. As a model, it attempts to do this by establishing a replicable framework for action beneficial to both funding agencies and first-nation recipients. But to see this as all that is involved would be to miss its potentially much greater impact, Palermo says. First-nation communities in Canada suffer from many of the same problems as their counterparts in the U.S. Among these are untreated health problems such as diabetes and drug and alcohol abuse, poor housing and infrastructure, high dropout and suicide rates, and unemployment. A sense of hopelessness is further fostered by an all-too-apparent disconnect between traditional values and the pressures of the modern world. The First Nation Model proposes that an integrated process of physical planning can actually be an important tool by which to address such larger issues. A Question of Process The First Nations Model was created by the Cities and Environment Unit within the Faculty of Architecture at Halifax’s Dalhousie University. Jurors reviewed the first edition of its overall program guide and documentation of three initial pilot projects at the Abegweit, Metapenagiag Mi’kmaq, and Pictou Landing communities. As the pilot efforts indicate, this is not glamorous, high-profile work. Instead, it involves the nitty-gritty of small-town projects done on something more than a shoestring. Yet, as the model points out, these projects have importance both in their own right and as indicators of a larger process of empowerment intended to build self-reliance, self-esteem, and leadership skills. Such an emphasis on process spurred considerable discussion on the jury. One juror argued that EDRA/Places planning awards should principally recognize projects with exceptional physical outcomes. But others felt the awards should also recognize superior initiatives where specific physical impacts may be of less importance. In some circumstances, the establishment of a clear frame- work for community outreach and decision-making may have a more profound impact on qualities of place than a gloriously illustrated design plan, they said. And, while the physical outcomes of the First Nations Model pilot projects might seem unimpressive in an urban context, they would likely have greater meaning in bypassed, rural communities. As part of their discussion, jurors also noted that it has now become almost routine to consider the building of tribal casinos as a panacea for the troubles of native communities. With money, talented outside design profes- sionals can also be hired to create a pastiche of symbols that fetishizes first-nation identity. But the most significant efforts may ultimately be those that arise from within a community itself, several jurors pointed out. Furthermore, while planning efforts today routinely herald the staging of “community meetings,” rarely do these rise to the level of true participation, several jurors said. At the same time, experience worldwide has now shown that such an additional level of engagement, combined with the ability to “ask the right questions,” is crucial when working with native communities. A Simple Framework The ultimate beneficiaries of the First Nations Model are some 32 first-nation bands in Atlantic Canada, ranging in size from 100 to 3,000 residents. “Standing still is not a choice” for these communities, the model argues. “A community can be pushed by the constant current of local pressures and global forces or it can take control over its own destiny.” There is a season for planting and one for harvesting; for repairing traps and for hunting; for preparing the boat and for catching fish; for tapping trees and for collecting the maple syrup; a time for working and playing and resting and celebrating.
