  • MOOSE CREE FIRST NATION's SPEAKING NOTES ON
    MOOSE CREE FIRST NATION’s SPEAKING NOTES ON PROTECTED AREAS TO THE FEDERAL STANDING COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT For presentation on October 18, 2016 Chief Patricia Faries Jack Rickard, Director of Lands and Resources ([email protected]) Introduction: Good afternoon, Thank you for this opportunity to share with the Committee our perspective on protected areas and conservation objectives. Also, I would like to acknowledge the traditional territory of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan. It is an honour to come before you and share our thoughts as Indigenous People. My name is Patricia Faries and I am joined by our Director of Lands and Resources Jack Rickard. We are from the Moose Cree First Nation and we have recently made our reaffirmation of our Homelands Declaration on September 27, 2016. Our home community is located on Moose Factory Island within the Moose River Delta. Our Moose Cree Homelands extend from Hearst, Ontario in the west just beyond the Quebec border in the east, and from south of Highway 11 to points north toward the Albany River. “Homelands” are the areas that are determined by the MCFN citizens (Eh- lilu-wuk) which is inclusive generally of the historical occupancy and use of lands and watersheds in the Northeastern Ontario. The Moose Cree Homelands is comprised of static boundaries and covers approximately 60,000 sq. km. As the Moose Cree have determined, Homelands include surface and subsurface lands, water and air. The Homeland areas have been derived using Moose Cree Knowledge from our Elders and are based on continued presence of hunting, trapping and harvest grounds prior to the Ontario government trapline system existed.
