	abstract = {Environmental setting reports such as this one are used as part of larger environmental impact assessments; in particular, the traditional land use setting report is intended to consider the potential effects of the project within study areas that have been defined for aquatic and terrestrial resource impact assessments. The information in this report extrapolates on data collected for Suncor{\textquoteright}s Project Millennium (1998) and South Tailings Pond (2003) projects. The aim of this setting report was two-fold: with regards to the regional study area (the total traditional territory of Fort McKay First Nation), the objective was to summarize the historical use of the regional study area by Fort McKay First Nation and document the historical use of other Aboriginal groups in overlapping areas; with regards to the local study area (the boundaries of four potentially affected Registered Fur Management Areas, numbers 2297, 2214, 587, and 2156), the objective was to document the historical and current land use of trappers and the effects of the project on that land use, as well as to collect traditional ecological knowledge regarding wildlife, fisheries, and traditional plants. According to the authors, traditional land use by Fort McKay First Nation was previously summarized in the Suncor South Tailings Pond application (2003) and more recent information was not available. Therefore, all traditional land use information for Fort McKay First Nation, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, and Mikisew Cree First Nation regarding the regional study area comes from a literature review of previous community and industry-initiated studies. This report presents a summary of issues and concerns, and a table of resource use, ranked in terms of high, medium, or low extent of usage, is compiled from previous reports. In contrast, seven trappers were interviewed for the data on the local Registered Fur Management Areas. For each of the four potentially affected Registered Fur Management Areas, information on the historical and current use; plant harvesting; fishing; hunting and trapping; cabins, trails, and access routes; burial and cultural/historical sites; and proposed future use is presented.},
