Book Aboriginal Peoples and Forest Lands in Canada

Download or read book Aboriginal Peoples and Forest Lands in Canada written by D.B. Tindall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal people in Canada have long struggled to regain control over their traditional forest lands. There have been significant gains in the quest for Aboriginal self-determination over the past few decades, including the historic signing of the Nisga’a Treaty in 1998. Aboriginal participation in resource management is on the rise in both British Columbia and other Canadian provinces, with some Aboriginal communities starting their own forestry companies. Aboriginal Peoples and Forest Lands in Canada brings together the diverse perspectives of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars to address the political, cultural, environmental, and economic implications of forest use. This book discusses the need for professionals working in forestry and conservation to understand the context of Aboriginal participation in resource management. It also addresses the importance of considering traditional knowledge and traditional land use and examines the development of co-management initiatives and joint ventures between government, forestry companies, and native communities.

Book excerpt: In this context three sponsoring organizations - the National Aboriginal Forestry Association, the Forest Products Association of Canada, and the First Nations Forestry Program (a joint program of Natural Resources Canada, and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada) - commissioned the Institute On Governance to examine the current state of relationships between First Nations and the forestry industry. [...] Methodology In this context three sponsoring organizations - the National Aboriginal Forestry Association, the Forest Products Association of Canada, and the First Nations Forestry Program - commissioned the Institute on Governance to examine the current state of relationships between First Nations and the forestry industry. [...] The list of organizations to be interviewed (see Annex 2) was provided by one or more of the project sponsors, with the aim of achieving a diversity of perspectives within each category, and combining the breadth of the perspective of the associations and government officials with the depth of the particular experience of each First Nation and company. [...] Aboriginal and Forest Industry Relationships in B. C. 1 Objectives As set out in the project's terms of reference, the goals of this study are to provide: 1. A comparison to trends identified for British Columbia in the 1998 study; 2. An overview of Aboriginal Peoples' relationships with the forest industry in British Columbia by describing (a) the nature and scope of relationships with primary fo [...] However, the lack of technical, human, and financial resources and the lack of appropriate policy frameworks make it difficult for Aboriginal Peoples to participate in forest management and forest-based economic activities.17 The rest of this report expands on these conclusions in greater detail, and focuses in on the situation in British Columbia.

Book Changing the Culture of Forestry in Canada

Download or read book Changing the Culture of Forestry in Canada written by Marc G. Stevenson and published by University of Alberta Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing institutions and rules of engagement for sustainable forest management (SFM) in Canada are not designed to accommodate the rights or interests of its Aboriginal peoples. In recognition of this, there has emerged a community of Aboriginal partners and academic researchers committed to changing forestry practices, institutions, and policies. They have collectively undertaken research to address the needs, rights, and interests of forest-dependent Aboriginal communities, with the intention of producing knowledge and skill sets needed to reform forest and resource development sectors. This is the first of two volumes that will highlight the most current and critical research undertaken by this community of practice. While this book and upcoming companion volume are aimed directly at Canada's forest sector, the implications of this research should be of considerable interest and value to all who have a vested interest in natural resource development and management on lands where Aboriginal peoples assert constitutionally protected rights and interests. By attempting to create the ethical space for Aboriginal peoples in building new institutions and policies for their engagement in SFM, this volume addresses some of the most pressing environmental and social issues that Canadians face today.

Book Community Forestry in Canada

Download or read book Community Forestry in Canada written by Sara Teitelbaum and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, community forestry has taken root across Canada. Locally run initiatives are lauded as welcome alternatives to large corporate and industrial logging practices, yet little research has been done to document their tangible outcomes or draw connections between their ideals of local control, community benefit, ecological stewardship, and economic diversification and the realities of community forestry practice. This book brings together the work of over twenty-five researchers to provide the first comparative and empirically rich portrait of community forestry policy and practice in Canada. Tackling all of the forestry regions from Newfoundland to British Columbia, it unearths the history of community forestry, revealing surprising regional differences linked to patterns of policy-making and cultural traditions. Case studies celebrate innovative practices in governance and ecological management while uncovering challenges related to government support and market access. The future of the sector is also considered, including the role of institutional reform, multiscale networks, and adaptive management strategies.

Book Sectoral Study   Forestry

Download or read book Sectoral Study Forestry written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to identify and assess the relationship of forest industry companies to Aboriginal communities and to identify the actions and attitudes of the forest industry which may contribute to the success or failure of Aboriginal involvement in the forest industry. The focus of the study was on the industry itself, not on provincial policy and regulation makers or Aboriginal communities. With the number of joint ventures and employment agreements between the forest industry and Aboriginal companies and communities increasing, it was hoped that the study would provide Aboriginal communities with some insight into the forest industry's corporate climate and might point the industry to better ways of doing business with Aboriginal peoples"--Intro., p. 4.

Book Creating a New Stage for Sustainable Forest Management Through Co management with Aboriginal Peoples in Ontario

Download or read book Creating a New Stage for Sustainable Forest Management Through Co management with Aboriginal Peoples in Ontario written by Margaret Anne Smith (R.P.F. (Ret.)) and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the crucial issues facing those involved in the management of our forests and the formulation of policy to guide that management is to develop new relationships with Aboriginal peoples. These new relationships must address two elements: the aspirations of Aboriginal peoples and the principles of sustainable forest management (SFM) balancing environmental, economic and social criteria. The protection of Aboriginal and treaty rights and increased Aboriginal participation in forest management in Canada have been embraced in key national forest policies---the National Forest Strategy and the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers Criteria and Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management. However, institutions to implement these policies fully have not met Aboriginal peoples' aspirations, and exclusion and conflict continue to mark relationships among the various actors involved in forest management. Through an exploration of the institutional framework for forest management in Ontario and the interactions of different actors---governments, industry and environmental nongovernmental organizations---in the forest management arena across international, national and regional levels, this thesis explo res ways of improving Aboriginal peoples' involvement in forest management. This thesis has four parts: (1) an institutional analysis at the macro level of forest management in Ontario as it relates to Aboriginal peoples, (2) case studies at the micro level of how two First Nations are involved in and affected by forest management; (3) a comparison of the two case studies; and (4) an exploration of an alternative framework for Aboriginal participation in forest management. The institutional analysis uses the Institutional Analysis and Development framework (IAD), exploring interactions among actors at multiple levels. The actors include Aboriginal peoples, the state, the forest industry and environmental non-governmental organizations. The two case studies---Grassy Narrows and Pikangikum First Nations---illustrate how these various actor groups interact at the local level. An alternative framework---rights-based co-management---offers a coexistence rather than assimilation approach, focussing on the need for negotiated constitutional-level agreements between Aboriginal governments and provincial and federal governments.

Book Planning Co existence

Download or read book Planning Co existence written by Marc Stevenson and published by Canadian Circumpolar Institute. This book was released on 2010 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries Canada's Aboriginal peoples have sought to enter into treaties of peace and friendship with colonial settlers based on the principles of sharing and co-existence. However, the latter remains an elusive goal as the land use rights and interests of Canada's Aboriginal peoples have yet to be reconciled with those of other Canadians. To date, the solutions have been inequitable, forcing Aboriginal peoples to either accept the policies and institutions imposed upon them by the Canadian State, or refuse to participate at all. Planning Co-Existence-the second of two volumes highlighting the critical research of the Aboriginal Program of the Sustainable Forest Management Network-presents the question: How do we begin to accommodate the land and resource use rights and interests of Canada's Aboriginal peoples while finding common ground for co-existence with other Canadians who have come to occupy these shared spaces? By addressing this question, Planning Co-Existence explores the current state of land use planning in Canada, what may be required to meet the Crown's legal and fiduciary obligations in these processes, and a variety of issues of central importance to Aboriginal peoples that need to be addressed in the design and implementation of forestry and land use plans. In so doing, this volume lays the groundwork for a more informed discussion about reconciliation and co-existence in the context of Aboriginal land use planning in Canada in the hope of achieving social and environmental justice sooner rather than later.
