	abstract = {	"As efforts to conserve natural resources grow in scope and prominence, it becomes increasingly important to examine resource use and resource users, particularly within the confines of protected areas. The least-known group of resource users are aboriginal hunters. This study provides information on the traditional ecological knowledge, land use and hunting strategies, as well as the harvest of moose by a community of Cree hunters located in Wood Buffalo National Park.

This information is used to determine whether cooperative management is an appropriate strategy for both Wood Buffalo National Park and the resource users, the Little Red River Cree; allowing for sustainable use of the resource while respecting constitutional law.

The research revealed that cooperative management is an achievable goal within Wood Buffalo National Park, but that much work must be done to ensure that a legally binding agreement will benefit both parties as well as the environment.},
