5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
CA PDF Page 1 of 70 Energy East Project Part E: New Brunswick Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015. Figures referencing the Project description have been updated to reflect the removal of a marine terminal in Québec. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on traditional land and resource use, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. The most relevant information for this section is Volume 25 for Woodlands ecoregion, which reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU.

People of the First Light
1 Changes in the Dawnland Web URL: http://arcg.is/1W6QM0k Tap the play button to animate the map. Beginning of animation: End of animation: For thousands of generations, Wabanaki people have lived across what is now northern New England, the Canadian Maritimes, and Quebec. The arrival of Europeans more than 500 years ago began a process of dramatic and destructive loss that continues today. Much of the Wabanaki homeland was taken through a series of treaties, negotiated between various Wabanaki groups and the French, English, Massachusetts, Maine, and United States governments. Wabanaki and non-Native signatories often had very different ideas and interpretations of what they had agreed to. Wabanaki communities today are working to protect what remains, and to assert their sovereign rights in their homeland, for future generations. For photos and information about Wabanaki communities today, tap here: WABANAKI TODAY 2 Wabanaki Today Web URL: http://arcg.is/1QGlJ7O The Wabanaki Nations – Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot – are thriving and growing in Maine and beyond. We invite you to visit, at least virtually, the many contemporary Wabanaki communities across Ckuwaponahkik, “the land of the dawn.” Click on a community name on a TAB above to learn more about the people and places of the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Abenaki Nations.

Directory of Services for Victims of Abuse in First Nations Communities
NEW BRUNSWICK DIRECTORY OF Services for Victims of Abuse in First Nations Communities In 2016, PLEIS-NB created a publication called: New Brunswick Directory of Services for Victims of Abuse that provided a general overview of services for victims. However, it did not capture the full range and diversity of services and resources that may be available in First Nation communities. To address this, the Public Legal Education and NEW BRUNSWICK Information Service of New Brunswick (PLEIS-NB), in collaboration with Victim Services and Public Safety, produced DIRECTORY OF this informative, bilingual and largely online directory for victims of abuse in First Nation Communities. PLEIS-NB is a non-profit, charitable organization that educates the public about the law. It is funded by Justice Canada, Services the New Brunswick Law Foundation, and the Department of Justice and Public Safety. A fillable survey was emailed to all band councils across New Brunswick collecting information, suggestions and for Victims of Abuse in feedback on what should be included in the directory. We conducted research and sought input of many individuals First Nations Communities on potential design features including Gignoo Transition House. We also consulted with the Women’s Equality Branch (ECO) and Aboriginal Affairs Secretariat. Finally, we hosted a brainstorming session (talking circle) with key stakeholders in the Miramichi region where we travelled to meet with service providers, including Domestic Violence Outreach, Aboriginal Victim Services, and the local transition house. There were participants from several nearby First Nations communities. This new Directory offers a variety of traditional services that support victims, such as drumming groups, talking circles and so on.
