  • Evening Grosbeaks Died to Supply Bands for This "Jewelry"
    Vol.1963xxxIv G.H.& H. C.Pxmrs, Evening Grosbeaks [73 EVENING GROSBEAKS DIED TO SUPPLY BANDS FOR THIS "JEWELRY" By G. HxrGooD PxRxs A•D Hxzv. L C. PxR•s The story which i• about to unfold •vould probably never have been written had not Dr. Paul H. Fluck banded a certain Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) at Hatboro, Pa. When Dr. Fluck attached band No. 532-23158 to this Starling's leg on November 30,. 1955 he in- itiated a series of events which was to cause the deaths of hundreds of Evening Grosbeaks(Hesperiphona vespertina), the exact total of which can never be known. The Starling in questionfound its way to Lae Humqui in Mata- pedia county of Canada's QuebecProvince. One of the farms sit- uated on the shore of the lake is owned by Monsieur Thomas Brousseauand it was his eat that caught the bird on April 4, 1958. M. Brousseauis one of the very few bilingual residents of that typically French-Canadian parish and he is a man of many interests and capabilities. Respondingto the instructions conveyedby its legend he sent the band with appropriate information to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The subsequentarrival of the explanatory flimsie sufficed to inoculate him with an awareness of the bird-band- ing process. In addition to his functionsas farmer, mayor of his parish, justice of the peace,and gamewarden, M. Brousseau,since 1929, has served from June to Novembe: of eachyear as salmonguardian on the West Branch of the Patapedia River. His camp is situated more than thirty nfiles into the bush from his farm.

  • 8.13 Current Use of Lands and Resources for Traditional Purposes
    SISSON PROJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORT 8.13 CURRENT USE OF LAND AND RESOURCES FOR TRADITIONAL PURPOSES BY ABORIGINAL PERSONS The Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons has been selected as a valued environmental component (VEC) in recognition of the current use the land and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons, and to assess the potential environmental effects of the Project as required by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and the Final Guidelines (NBENV 2009). The lands of central New Brunswick have been, and are being, used by Aboriginal persons for traditional hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering, subsistence and related purposes. An Indigenous Knowledge Study (IKS) was prepared by Moccasin Flower Consulting Inc., on behalf of the St. Mary’s First Nation, Woodstock First Nation, and Madawaska Maliseet First Nation (Moccasin Flower Consulting 2013). This Northcliff-sponsored study reports that land and resources near the Project area have been, and are being, used for traditional purposes by Maliseet First Nations. The Project will result in the loss of access to, or use of, land and resources in the Project Development Area (PDA) and Local Assessment Area (LAA) (both terms are defined in Section 8.13.1.4 below) due to the physical presence of the Project facilities and associated exclusion zones. These potential interactions of the Project with the Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons are of concern to Aboriginal communities in New Brunswick because they could result in a loss of access to, or use of, areas currently used for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons.
