	abstract = {Asch disputes the "myth" that hunting and trapping economy can only continue until modern development takes place, and that all development is incompatible with native traditional lifestyles. Nevertheless, this Doctor of Anthropology points out that the future of hunting and trapping in northern Alberta crucially depends upon the ability of community members to halt unbridled, uninformed, rapid resource development. He goes on to argue that this traditional economy should not be steam-rolled over in the name of progress but rather, like farming, should be respected as an economic sector and an integral part of today{\textquoteright}s world.},
