Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association (CAMA)
CAMA is an Aboriginal, non-profit organization which seeks to increase the understanding of the minerals industry and Aboriginal community's respective interests in lands and resources. Through increasing this awareness, all parties will benefit.
CAMA acts as an instrument for the advancement of Aboriginal community economic development, mineral resource management and environmental protection.
CAMA was formed out of the need expressed by Aboriginal communities. Their priorities are the environment, employment and training, and economic development. Establishing relations with mineral companies to explore and develop mineral resources is seen as a way to achieve economic self-sufficiency.
