Government policy divides claims into two categories: specific and comprehensive. Specific claims arise from the breach or non-fulfillment of government obligations found in treaties, agreements, or statutes. Comprehensive claims are based on unextinguished aboriginal title. 2, record 1, English, - Indian%20Specific%20Claims%20Commission

In 1991, the policy was reviewed to include pre-Confederation claims, and the introduction of “fast-track” claims(where the claim settlement is not expected to exceed $500, 000). The following recommendations were made at that time : the establishment of Indian Specific Claims Commission on an interim basis; the creation of a joint Assembly of First Nations(AFN)/Canada working group; and the establishment of a permanent independent claims body. 3, record 1, English, - Indian%20Specific%20Claims%20Commission

Selon la politique du gouvernement fédéral, il existe deux types de revendications : les revendications particulières et les revendications globales. Les revendications particulières découlent de la violation ou de l'inexécution des obligations imposées au gouvernement par des traités, des accords ou des lois. Les revendications globales reposent plutôt sur un titre ancestral non éteint. 2, record 1, French, - Commission%20des%20revendications%20particuli%C3%A8res%20des%20Indiens

En 1991, la politique a été revue afin d'inclure les revendications visant la période précédant la Confédération et de permettre le règlement « rapide » de revendications (dans les cas oú la revendication a une valeur de moins de 500 000 $). Les recommandations suivantes avaient été formulées à cette époque : établissement provisoire d'une Commission des revendications particulières des Indiens; la création d'un groupe de travail mixte de l'Assemblée des Premières nations (APN) et du MAINC; et établissement d'un organe permanent indépendant pour le traitement des revendications. 3, record 1, French, - Commission%20des%20revendications%20particuli%C3%A8res%20des%20Indiens

En 1991, le gouvernement fédéral met sur pied la Commission des revendications des Indiens, fondée sur un modèle proposé durant les consultations menées auprès des associations autochtones. Le nouvel organisme consultatif, et indépendant, avait pour mandat de faire enquête sur les revendications particulières qui ont été rejetées, ainsi que d'offrir sa médiation de manière à aider les Premières nations requérantes et le gouvernement, à n'importe quelle étape du processus, à s'entendre sur un règlement. 1, record 3, French, - Commission%20des%20revendications%20des%20Indiens
