Abstract | The purpose of this Traditional Land Use Study is to ensure that information on traditional land use in the Surmont lease is current and relevant so that the potential impacts to traditional land use can be minimized. (Twp 81-83 Rge 5-7 W4M) This report is also an appendix to the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Surmont Project. The specific objectives are to identify and map significant sites such as important medicinal plant and berry-harvesting areas, cabins, traplines, sweat lodges, salt licks, etc.; to produce a report and a series of maps that display the proposed project, the vegetation communities and the traditional uses; to protect confidential information; and to identify potential ways to mitigate the possible impacts of the proposed project. Members from the Fort McMurray No. 468 First Nation, Chipewyan Prairie Dene First Nation, the Anzac Métis Local and the Anzac community participated in the traditional land us study during the summer and fall of 1998. |
