	abstract = {The purpose of this study is to assess the value of lost economic opportunities traditionally derived from renewable resource harvesting for the Fort McKay peoples. The main objectives of this project were to establish an electronic data base of traditional land use information; to map existing oil, gas, and oil sands development, leases and forest management area; to develop an economic assessment method for valuing the traditional economy; to evaluate the impacts of Syncrude and Suncor 1965 to 1999; and to forecast the effects of oil sands development into the future. These objectives were met through the documentation of industrial development and land use; resource supply analysis; value and analysis of lost opportunities; and a summary of traditional activities and valuation of resources. Through much conceptual work and the recognition of traditional knowledge of resource use and associated activities, this study was able to define the economic value of traditional harvesting opportunities using a method that is consistent with traditional culture and values. Photographs of Fort McKay and its people, graphs, maps, a bibliography, and artist depictions are all included in this study.},
