  Guide to Sustainable Community Indicators (Sustainable Measures website)

  Forestry toolbox (First Nations Nations of Quebec and Labrador Sustainable Development Institute)
  This toolbox is not available on-line, but may be obtained in a large binder or CD format by requesting it from the Institute. It is available in both French and English. Some of the material is specific to Québec, but most of it is relevant for any Aboriginal organization that needs to increase its capacity for dealing with forest issues.

  Building capacity for sound public works in First Nations communities: A planning handbook (Institute on Governance and INAC 2004)
