The purpose of this document is to organize and summarize the discussions occurring over three days of meetings of the Aboriginal Issues Working Group, in conjunction with the Alberta Forest Conservation Strategy (AFCS). The purpose of the AFCS is to provide a framework for the future management of all of Alberta's forests and all of the resources they contain. The primary objective is to consult with Albertans and develop recommendations for how to better manage Alberta's forests. Throughout this document, the AFCS identifies important Aboriginal issues and resolutions. Their direction incorporates the resource ethics of Alberta's Aboriginal peoples into the AFCS and tries to find ways to complement the Treaty rights of Aboriginal peoples with forest management in the province. Aboriginal framework issues discussed include honouring Aboriginal agreements and native values; consultation and decision-making; and cooperative management and co-management regarding forest management. This publication delves further into important Aboriginal issues including economic opportunities; Sagow Pematosowin; traditional uses and lifestyles; Aboriginal and Treaty rights; cultural and perceptual differences; enforcement; and individual community concerns. This document provides great insight to many issues facing Aboriginal communities today.
