Abstract
Attempts to settle outstanding land claims through the negotiation of comprehensive land claim agreements have been under way in Canada for the past 20 years. A critical component of settlements is the allocation of land between First Nation members of a negotiating group. Although treaty negotiations date back some 200 years, there are no systematic precedents for land allocation and a variety of approaches characterize contemporary negotiations. The problem can be characterized as a location-allocation problem, with the added constraint that the methodology should be transparent and easily understood at the community level. Development of such an approach for the Yukon land claim is described and its possible application to other comprehensive claim negotiations critically reviewed.
