This portfolio dissertation examines the Addition to Reserve (ATR) for new reserve land parcel recovery within the Indian Act and other land management regimes applying to First Nations in Canada. The three portfolio papers explore a land-based geomatics data perspective, exploring its process, data practice, and process history-engagement style. The ATR process geomatics is an emerging topic that has moved to a digital post-counter mapping practice, with land title transfer factors outlined in the portfolio. The findings illustrate the importance of understanding complex ATR land transfer geomatics topics for all First Nations, and showing that a two-eyed seeing data protocol is required in the updated reserve lands transfer program and practice.
A. A policy brief on the ATR process (policy and geomatics practice critique)
B. A practice primer on the ATR process (on geomatics practice and the ATR process data)
C. Two-eyed seeing ATR process geomatics: enabling Canada's land back program, all ATR outcomes and geomatics practice needs (journal article on ATR history & practice style).
