Abstract

The purpose of this Traditional Land Use Study is to ensure that information on traditional land use in the surrounding region is current and relevant so that potential impacts from the Long Lake Project to traditional land use can be reduced or effectively mitigated. The objectives are to document the traditional environmental and historical knowledge of the Fort McMurray No. 468 First nation; present the traditional ecological knowledge in such a way that it can be incorporated into EIAs; to identify and map significant sites such as important medicinal plant and berry-harvesting areas, historical gathering places, graves, cabins, traplines, sweat lodges and salt licks; to identify any concerns that people have about the existing developments, the proposed development, and the potential cumulative impacts; to produce a report and a series of maps that display the Long Lake Project and the traditional uses in the Traditional Land Use Study area; to identify potential ways to reduce or mitigate possible impacts of the proposed Long Lake Project; and to protect confidential or sensitive, site specific information.
