This section of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Shell Canada Limited Jackpine Mine Phase 1 provides information on traditional land use as required by the Project Terms of Reference (AENV 2002). The potential impacts to traditional land users were evaluated based on an understanding of how aboriginal peoples have used and continue to use the land and resources within the area. The Regional Study Area was defined as the total traditional territory of the Fort McKay First Nation, which includes Chipewyan and Cree Treaty Indians, Métis and non-status Indians who live in Fort McKay. The RSA was defined using the latest available information on the areas in which the traditional livelihoods of the Fort McKay peoples depended. This information modifies the area that had previously been depicted as the Fort McKay traditional territory, as defined in "From Where We Stand". The Local Study Area was defined based on consideration of trapline boundaries and the boundaries of the Project. From the perspective of evaluation of effects to traditional land use for this EIA, traplines provide the most appropriate basis for defining LSA, since most traditional activities in this area are carried out on traplines. The traditional land use assessment is divided into six main sections: Scope of Assessment, Conclusions, Environmental Setting Summary, Baseline Case, Application Case, and the Planned Development Case. The EIA terms of reference include requirements for assessment of the potential effects of the project on traditional land use including explaining the significance of land use changes for maintenance of traditional lifestyles; the process for addressing traditional users such as trappers; providing details of Shell's consultation with Aboriginal groups to determine the effects on traditional use of the Local Study Area; documenting any stakeholder concerns regarding the impact of the Project on the historical significance of the Study Areas and its current use by traditional users; identifying the existing and historical land users, including fishing, hunting, traditional plant harvesting, and cultural use, with specific regard given to the Aboriginal peoples and determining the impact of development on these uses and identifying possible mitigation strategies.
