The Skownan First Nation Model For Sustainable Development And Aboriginal Stewardship Abstract This dissertation defines the 'Skownan Model.' It is a model of sustainable Aboriginal land lresource development and management. There is increasing demand to find alternative solutions to natural resources allocation and management in Canada. Aboriginal communities play an increasingly more dominant role in these issues due to their special role in Canadian society. They have distinct historic developments, administrative bodies and legal frameworks that are different from other rural communities in Canada. Managing natural areas to maintain bio-diversity and ecological integrity while gaining economic retums from renewable resources is increasingly challenging in a global economy. The main objective of this research was to develop the 'Skownan Model' in order to engage in devising strategies pertaining to anticipated land and resource developments within Skownan's traditional land-use territory. The model presents a synthesis of the theories of sustainable development and Aboriginal worldview. Sustainable development is founded in the philosophy of using resources to meet present and future needs. Fundamental to Aboriginal worldviews is the spiritual core of human existence on earth in close relationship to the land with all its resources. In the view of Skownan First Nation, if the land is cared for it will always provide. The Skownan Model at its core involves using protected area status as a legal vehicle to ensure sustainable use of traditional lands. This dissertation contains a number of research components that buid the model. The research and the researcher are part of the research process. This is part of advocacy research. In the Canadian context advocacy research often supports Aboriginal communities Following a traditional land-use study, an environmental impact assessment, participation in the Clean Environment Hearings in the fall of L997, an archaeological survey and active involvement in the 'Action Plan for Manitoba's Network of Protected Areas', Skownan First Nation was successful in redirecting the proposed resource extraction plan to one of resource protection. Skownan First Nation managed to achieve modification of the external development plans to more appropriately accommodate its needs and values. Establishing a solid foundation of scientific information was fundamental to this process. This dissertation summanzes a number of research projects that were conducted over the years and illustrates the developments in chronological order. The community-based research process led to the development of 'The Skownan First Nation Model for Sustainable Development and Aboriginal Stewardship' (in short the Skownan Model). Skownan First Nation has made important contributions to sustainable development with multiple natural resources developments in the Skownan Resource Area. The establishment of the Skownan Fur Block, development of the Chitek and Inland Lake Fisheries, the establishment of the Chitek Lake Wood Bison Herd and the Chitek Lake Interim Protected Area are analyzed. 111 Acknowledgements I thank my advisor and committee members, Professors Dr. Peter Kulchyski fNative Studies), Dr. Bonnie Hallman (Environment and Geography) and Dr. Paul Hackett (Community Health Sciences), Dr. Claudia Notzke (Faculty of Management, University of Lethbridge) for their advice and encouragement for bringing this work to completion.

  • CHARACTERISTICS and DISTRIBUTION of LAKES 631 Lake Winnipegosis, Lying to the North of Lake Manitoba
    CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF LAKES 631 Lake Winnipegosis, lying to the north of Lake Manitoba. at an elevation of 828 feet above sea-level, is about 130 miles long, by 20 miles in maximum breadth. It covers an area of 2080 square miles, and has a maximum depth of 38 feet. It is fed by many small streams from the west, and by the overflow of Lake Dauphin (840 feet above sea-level) through Mossy River. The outlet is by the very indirect way of Waterhen River, through Waterhen Lake, to Lake Manitoba. The total area of the lakes in the Winnipeg basin is 13,500 square miles. Lake Wollaston, 1300 feet above sea-level, is the ultimate source River of the Reindeer River, one of the chief tributaries of the Churchill Churchill. River. It is about 800 square miles in area, and discharges by two outlets—to the north by the Stone River into the extreme eastern arm of Lake Athabasca, and to the south-east by the Cochrane River into Reindeer Lake. Reindeer Lake, 1150 feet above sea-level, is 135 miles long, and has an area of 2490 square miles; the Reindeer River carries its overflow to the Churchill River. The rivers in Labrador are often like strings of lakes, and divide River Rupert. and unite again in their course, while the lakes frequently discharge in two directions. Lake Mistassini, 1350 feet above sea-level, the largest lake, is practically two parallel lakes divided by a range of islands in the centre. The western lake is 90 miles long by 13 to 17 miles wide, and the eastern lake is 60 miles long by 5 to 10 miles wide, the greatest depths being 300 to 400 feet.

  • Understanding Food Sovereignty Within the Context of Skownan
    Presence, Practice, Resistance, Resurgence: Understanding Food Sovereignty Within the Context of Skownan Anishinaabek First Nation by Maximilian Aulinger A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2015 by Maximilian Aulinger Abstract One of the defining characteristics of early European colonial endeavours within the Americas is the discursive practice through which Indigenous peoples were transformed into ideological subjects whose proprietary rights and powers to be self- determining were subordinated to those of settler peoples. In this thesis, it is argued that a similar process of misrepresentation and disenfranchisement occurs when it is suggested that the material and financial poverty plaguing many rural First Nations can be eradicated through their direct and extensive involvement in natural resource extraction industries based on capital driven market economies. As is shown by the author’s participatory research conducted with members of Skownan Anishinaabek First Nation involved in local food production practices, the key to overcoming cycles of dependency is not simply the monetary benefit engendered by economic development projects. Rather it is the degree to which community members recognize their own nationhood oriented value systems and governance principles within the formation and management of these initiatives. The thesis concludes with an examination of one such community led enterprise in Skownan, which ultimately coincides with the political aims of the Indigenous food sovereignty movement. i Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the unwavering support of numerous individuals.

Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from www.seafoodwatch.org. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request.
