Abstract

The primary objectives of this study are to provide information on the Fort McKay Community in order to facilitate understanding of traditional land uses; to provide traditional land use information on a regional and site specific basis; and to provide traditional land use information to the oil and gas industries which are looking to develop their own projects in the region. This Traditional Land Use Study also provides information on the traditional lands and uses of the Treaty Indians of Cree and Chipewyan heritage, the Métis, and non-status Indians of the Community of Fort McKay. Both Suncor Energy and Syncrude Canada have embarked on major expansions to their current operations. These expansions include the Suncor Steepbank Mine and Fixed Plant Expansion, Syncrudes Aurora Oil Sands Mine, and Sensor's Project Millennium. In addition to Mobil Oil's Kearl Lake Oils Sands project, Shell, Petro Canada, Gulf, Koch and other oil sand lease holders in the Fort McKay traditional use area have all embarked on oil sands development projects which are in various states of preparations. This study includes the Fort McKay registered trapline area senior holders list. It also provides maps of the Fort McKay registered trapline area boundaries, the Fort McKay oil sand lease and registered trapline area boundaries, Kearl Lake area traditional resource use, as well as the minable oil sand leases.
