	title = {Traditional land use and occupancy study: Janvier and Chipewyan Prairie, final report},
	year = {1993},
	note = {Research done by community members in the north-eastern Alberta communities},
	abstract = {The project located known harvest sites for 20 species of fur bearing animals, 4 species of ungulates, 8 species of fish, 6 species of birds, a generic record of duck and goose habitat, 18 salt licks, 27 blueberry picking sites, 17 cranberry picking sites, 10 hay meadows, 8 rat root gathering areas, 11 mint gathering areas, 67 used/useable cabins, 30 grave sites, hundreds of miles of trapline and inter-settlement trail systems, 43 locally used place names as yet officially unrecorded, 2 potentially significant archaeological sites (Christina Crossing and the hanging stone on the Hangingstone River), and a potential palaeontological site (a fossilized fish south of Conklin). A methodology, interview results, Janvier and Chipewyan Prairie issues, recommendations and a bibliography are all included.  This report is meant to be read along with the six summary map sheets kept by each community which graphically portray study results on 1:250 000 scales Alberta Forestry, Lands and Wildlife Waterways 74D and Winefred Lakes 73M base maps. A companion set of the related 1:50,000 scale base maps is also held by the Arctic Institute, and provides a much greater level of locational detail. A plastic map overlay series is also included with this report (see Appendix 2) to enable easy reference to the six data categories (trails and graves; local place names; cabins; birds; big game and fish habitat; fur bearing animals; and berries, bush medicine and minerals) and to portray the impacts-in-combination when all six categories are superimposed.  This project provided the first opportunity for most of the interviewees to share their traditional knowledge of land use with a wider audience. Some people wondered why it took so long to finally begin this work which could have provided much more of a complete record if done twenty or thirty years ago prior to intensive development of the oil sands. Over the course of the work, most of the interviewees came to see that their individual contributions were valued, and that collectively the traditional use data portrayed an extensive record of resource use over the entire study region.},
