Canada. Dept. of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Claims Sector : The Office of Claims Negotiation (Bureau des négociations, revendications) was established in 1974 by the Department of Indian Affairs to deal with all Native claims, including Indian, Inuit and Métis. The name was changed to the Office of Native Claims (Bureau des revendications des autochtones) in 1976. The main function of the office was to represent the Minister and the Department of Indian Affairs in the negotiation of Native claims. The Office conducted basic research on submitted claims, developed claims resolution policies, conducted negotiations with claimants, and initiated and monitored claims settlements. The Office of Native Claims consulted closely with other government agencies (e.g. the Department of Justice or the Department of Finance), provincial or territorial governments Native associations, and special consultants. Headed by an Executive Director and later, an Assistant Deputy Minister, the office reported directly to the Deputy Minister.

In 1986 the Office of Native Claims was closed. Responsibility for comprehensive claims was transferred to the Comprehensive Claims Branch of the Self-Government Sector within the Indian and Inuit Affairs Program, while responsibility for specific claims was transferred to the Specific Claims Branch of the Lands, Revenues and Trusts Sector. In 1989 the Comprehensive Claims Branch became a part of the Northern Affairs Program. Under the reorganization of 1991 both Specific Claims and Comprehensive Claims were made part of the Claims Sector, reporting to a Senior Assistant Deputy Minister, Claims. RG22 General Inventory
