Apcfnc Elders Project: Honouring Traditional Knowledge 2009 – 2011 APCFNC ELDERS PROJECT: HONOURING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE 2009 – 2011 The Atlantic Aboriginal Economic Development Integrated Research Program The Atlantic Aboriginal Economic Development Integrated Research Program, AAEDIRP ATLANTIC POLICY CONGRESS OF FIRST NATIONS CHIEFS SECRETARIAT The APCFNC Elders Project: Honouring Traditional Knowledge is one of nine new research reports on Aboriginal economic development released by Atlantic Aboriginal Economic Development Integrated Program, (AAEDIRP) in 2010/2011. The AAEDIRP is a unique research program formed through partnerships between the 38 member communities of the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs (APCFNC), plus the Inuit, 12 Atlantic universities and 4 government funders, both federal and provincial. AAEDIRP funders include Indian and North Affairs Canada, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Aboriginal Affairs, Nova Scotia. The AAEDIRP conducts research on Aboriginal economic development that is relevant to communities, builds Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal research capacity, conducts workshops on Aboriginal economic development and is developing a database on this topic. The main purpose of the AAEDIRP is to improve the knowledge base concerning Atlantic Aboriginal economic development in order to improve the lives of the Aboriginal people in the region. The APCFNC is a policy research organization that analyzes and develops culturally relevant alternatives to federal policies that impact on the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy and Innu Aboriginal communities and peoples.

Through its Atlantic Aboriginal Economic Development Integrated Research Program (AAEDIRP), a group of Atlantic Region Elders were involved in a project called “Honouring Traditional Knowledge”. This project was initiated because of the critical importance of consulting with Elders and having their perspectives included in community economic development projects and in research on Aboriginal economic development. The project began in 2009 with a regional workshop, and was followed by many months of consultation with Elders. Elders determined the process and outcomes for the project. The project was supported by APCFNC staff and Aboriginal community members. As a foundation for the work on economic development research, APCFNC sought guidance from Atlantic region Elders on how they would like to be consulted when sharing Traditional Knowledge and Aboriginal worldviews. The project is only a starting point for Elder-guided research in the Atlantic region. One of the challenges was the identification of “Elders” who are Traditional Knowledge holders. There is no established regional process in place that identifies who is an Elder and documents their areas of knowledge. There are a large number of Elders who did not participate in this project. The hope is that this initial project with Elders will build the ground work for APCFNC Chiefs and communities to do more work with Elders in the future. Project Components: A. Elders Mawio’mi August 2010 - An Elders Mawio’mi (which means gathering in Mi’kmaq) brought together Elders from four Aboriginal cultures of the Atlantic Region – the Mi’kmaq, the Wolastoqiyik, the Innu, and the Inuit. From August 12 -14, 2010, Elders gathered in Millbrook First Nation at the Glooscap Heritage Centre. The Mawio’mi was a chance for Elders from the region to get know each other and begin initial discussions on how they would like to be consulted when sharing Traditional Knowledge. The Elders asked for the meeting to be videotaped. They have directed that a transcription of the Ma’wiomi be released for educational purposes. B. Video – Honouring Traditional Knowledge – This video highlights the roles of Elders and Traditional Knowledge. Under the Elders’ guidance the video was made from footage taken at the Elders Ma’wiomi. It can be viewed by going to: http://blip.tv/play/AYKxzVUA C. Elder Recommendations. The Elders made 8 recommendations concerning Traditional Knowledge. The recommendations are based on discussions from the Elders Mawio’mi. 4 D. List of Resources - This is an initial list of protocols and/or ethics and best practices for the sharing of Traditional Knowledge and for working alongside Atlantic region Elders in research. It contains community-based and university materials. It is a living document that will be added to on an ongoing basis. http://apcfnceldersproject.wikispaces.com Grandmother’s Panel at the Let’s All Help Each Other Conference, March 2011 Elizabeth Penashue, Murdena Marshall, Josie Augustine, Gwen Bear, Christine Gabriel and Jean Crane 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many, many people assisted in making the APCFNC Elder Project possible.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) on behalf of Cape Breton Hydro Inc. (CBHI) for the proposed East Bay Hills Wind Power Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

Equinor proposes to conduct the Flemish Pass Exploration Drilling Project within four exploration licences (1139, 1140, 1141, 1142) in the Flemish Pass Basin. The closest licence is about 460 kilometres east of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Between 2019 and 2027, Equinor could drill up to 24 offshore wells (up to six per exploration licence). ExxonMobil proposes to conduct the Eastern Newfoundland Exploration Drilling Project within three exploration licences (1134, 1135, 1137) in the Flemish Pass Basin and Jeanne d’Arc Basin.
