The purpose of this report, which represents phase 1 of 3 of a larger body of work, was to present the results of a literature review of access management issues in the Green Area of public lands within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, and all relevant provincial legislation. This report does not contain traditional land use or knowledge per se, but the authors do examine literature that specifically references Aboriginal access issues and government responsibilities towards Aboriginals, in relation to access management, are also reviewed.
