	abstract = {According to the authors of this study, its purpose is to provide historical and current traditional resource use information, which is based on traditional ecological knowledge, and the potential impacts thereto, for the project area and immediate surroundings. Such traditional resource use information was acquired through a literature review, open house surveys (completed by 18 Elders), interviews with three Elders and a junior trapper, field surveys, and a validation meeting with three community representatives. Furthermore, a traditional use plant capability analysis was carried to determine project impacts on traditional plants, but the results are discussed in section 12 of the same application. The bulk of the report discusses the results achieved with Fort McKay First Nation. Consultation with Fort McMurray M{\'e}tis Local 1935 was also conducted, while consultation with Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations were ongoing at time of writing. Results of the study include a presentation of current resource use (wildlife; fur-bearers; fish; plants; cabin and burial sites and other significant areas); historical, current, and future traditional land use (trapline use, camping areas, resources currently harvested); project-specific impacts to traditional resource use (access; plant; harvesting; hunting; fishing; trapping; cabin and burial sites and other significant areas); and a cumulative environmental assessment. A brief discussion of mitigation strategies are suggested, as well as the possibility of monitoring programs making use of traditional ecological knowledge.},
