Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report An Elder reported that he and fellow Ermineskin Cree Nation community members once fished for whitefish, pickerel, perch, rainbow trout, pike and bull trout in Wabamun Lake. However, due to an oil spill in 2005, the water quality is now poor and fishing is not ideal. The fish are small and are believed to be unhealthy due to pollution. Although Ermineskin Cree Nation community members do not travel to the lake to fish, community members from nearby bands still report it to be an important fishing site. Community members report that some of their past fishing sites are no longer used. An Elder identified Pigeon Lake as a fishing site (Plate 5.1.7-1). Most fishing takes place at the south end of the lake. Historically, net fishing has been conducted. Community members reported that Buck Lake was the best spot to catch whitefish in the past. Chimney Creek, near Kootenay Plains, was also a known fishing site, now used for grazing livestock and not often used by Ermineskin Cree Nation members. A cabin was once situated there.

Trapping Ermineskin Cree Nation community Elders and community members identified several traplines and trapping sites during the TLU study for the Project, detailed in Table 5.1.7-6. Community members reported a historically used trapline near Alder Flats but were uncertain as to whether it was still in use.

Gathering Places Ermineskin Cree Nation members identified several gathering places during the TLU study for the Project, detailed in Table 5.1.7-7. Community members reported that powwows and sundances currently take place at Paul First Nation reserve on the eastern shore of Wabamun Lake. Many Ermineskin Cree Nation members travel there to attend these ceremonies and to trade food with other family members. Items traded include medicinal plants and berries. Community members reported that gatherings and pilgrimages take place at Lac Ste. Anne, usually for 10 days in July (Plate 5.1.7-2). Most gatherings are Catholic-based; however, many traditional Cree prayers are also recited at Lac Ste. Anne. Community Elders reported that Mission Beach, at the northeast corner of Pigeon Lake, is an historic gathering place. This place is associated with historic stories regarding the Cree language and survival of the Cree people. In the past, family groups from the four bands would gather at the east end of Pigeon Lake and share the whitefish harvest in late September and October. 7894/December 2013 REP-NEB-TERA-00035 Page 5-50 Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report Plate 5.1.7-2 Gathering site at Lac Ste. Anne. A traditional bartering game called “stick game”, wipiawake in Cree, played by Ermineskin Cree Nation Elders, community members and other First Nations people across North America was described by an Elder. According to the Elder, tournaments are held throughout North America today and cash prizes are commonly awarded to the winners. Today, the Elder plays the game with community members on the Ermineskin Cree Nation Reserve, on the Paul Band Reserve and most recently in First Nation Casino near Seattle, Washington. In the past, the game was played for material goods such as art work. To play the game, two players square off face-to-face, each with a set of four bones (two bones are plain and two bones have stripes) and in between the players is a special bone called the “kick-stick”. The purpose of the game is to guess which hand is holding the plain bone by gesturing. There are different versions of the game but in the version played by the Elder, the gesture involved pointing to the left or right with the thumb. Traditional songs are recited while the game is played and are believed to indicate the location of the opponent’s plain bone to the best singer.

Sacred Areas Ermineskin Cree Nation Elders and community members identified several sacred areas during the TLU study for the Project, detailed in Table 5.1.7-8. Lac Ste. Anne is considered to be a sacred site by Ermineskin Cree Nation community Elders and people (Plate 5.1.7-3). It is the site of an annual 10 day pilgrimage for many First Nations people and numerous Ermineskin Cree Nation members attend the ceremonies. A community Elder reported that the waters at Lac Ste. Anne are known to have healing properties and thousands of community members travel from across Canada to visit the lake. During ground reconnaissance, a ‘smudging rock’ was observed along the shores of the lake. It was reported that the Brazeau Dam is an important site for Ermineskin Cree Nation community members to gather stone for sacred and material use. The stones gathered include quartzite, soapstone, black chert and crushing stones. White quartzite is an important stone used in ceremonial rattles and sweats. The stone sparks when it is shaken, creating a loud noise. Soapstone is used for pipe work and carving. Black chert is used to make arrow heads and for tanning hides. Men and women use the stone to scrape the hides. It was reported that elk hide is the best to tan. Arrowhead-making is an important resurgent cultural activity. Crushing stones are used to prepare pemmican and to make jam by crushing berries. Community members report that the best stones are smooth. Colourful stones of all types are also collected and used for art and decoration. The community convenes at this site annually to gather rocks and stones. Plate 5.1.7-3 Crutches inside the church at Lac Ste. Anne, which are evidence of the healing properties of the water in the lake. An Elder identified Buck Mountain as a sacred site. There are stories that ‘thunderbirds,’ which are mysterious, small people, lived on that mountain. During the map review, sacred burial grounds were identified within the City of Edmonton. These burial sites were commemorated with a reburial ceremony on August 28, 2006 and a built memorial including a 7894/December 2013 REP-NEB-TERA-00035 Page 5-52 Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report names wall, a pathway surrounding the site and seven interpretive panels honouring those buried at the site today were included.

Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.
