	abstract = {The following paper presents a portion of the traditional ecological knowledge gathered during the 1997 moose harvest survey, conducted by the Little Red River Cree of Garden Valley. This traditional Cree community is located in the Boreal forest of north-eastern Alberta, 11 kilometres inside the west boundary of Wood Buffalo National Park. Through personal interviews with Cree Elders and hunters, traditional knowledge obtained either first hand, or handed down through generations is shared. Through this, the importance of the moose to the survival of these people, their traditions, and their culture becomes apparent. Although current park restrictions and modern technology have somewhat altered hunting practices, the Red River Cree of Garden River continue to base their hunting strategies on the traditional knowledge of the past. This knowledge includes the ecology, seasonal movements, habits, and various hunting strategies of the moose. This study was intended to improve the understanding of local issues, allow Native participation in Park policy and management plans, and to validate the importance of traditional knowledge to the sustainability of wildlife resources.},
