These special places make up one of the finest and most extensive systems of protected natural and cultural heritage areas in the world. The Government is committed to preserving our natural and cultural heritage, expanding the system of protected places and contributing to the recovery of species-at- risk. At the same time, we must continue to offer new and innovative visitor and outreach programs and activities so that more Canadians can experience Parks Canada places and learn about our environment, history and culture. This new management plan for Wapusk National Park of Canada supports this vision. Management plans are developed through extensive consultation and input from various people and organizations, including Indigenous Peoples, local and regional residents, visitors and the dedicated team at Parks Canada. National parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas are a priority for the Government of Canada. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this plan for their commitment and spirit of co-operation. As the Minister responsible for Parks Canada, I applaud this collaborative effort and I am pleased to approve the Wapusk National Park of Canada Management Plan.

Wapusk National Park vii Management Plan Executive Summary Established in 1996, Wapusk National Park (NP) represents the Hudson-James Bay Lowlands region within the National Parks System. The park captures the transition zone between boreal forest and arctic tundra, and protects one of the largest concentrations of polar bear maternity dens in the world. Management of the park is aided by a ten-member Wapusk National Park Management Board. The Board advises the Minister on the planning, management and operation of the park. The 2016 State of the Park Assessment identified three main issues: low levels of Indigenous Peoples’ participation in park management; the need to develop the basic Parks Canada visitor service offer; and the need to better understand the state of the park’s ecological integrity. Scoping analyses further identified the issue of cultural resource management as requiring consideration during management planning. This management plan replaces the 2007 Management Plan for Wapusk NP and builds on previous commitments and management plan objectives, furthering the achievements over the past 10 years. Parks Canada will report annually on progress toward achieving the plan objectives and will review the plan every ten years, or sooner if required. The three key strategies for the ten-year management plan period focuses on the following: Key Strategy 1: Working Toward Greater Participation of Regional Indigenous Peoples and Expanded Presentation of Indigenous Culture The participation of Indigenous peoples in park management is critical to developing and achieving the park vision. In the spirit of reconciliation, Parks Canada will collaborate with Indigenous peoples to ensure that their advice and perspectives are part of decision making, and their past and living cultures are accurately presented in park information. Key Strategy 2: Creating Connections and Inspiring Canadians. Parks Canada aims to connect the public to the unique and awe-inspiring natural and cultural environment of Wapusk NP. Improving the understanding and appreciation for the park and its human history will allow in-person and at-a-distance visitors to connect to the park and make them ambassadors for park stewardship. Key Strategy 3: A Healthy Park for All. Canadians can take pride in the integrity of Wapusk NP’s unique ecosystems and cultural history that Parks Canada, its Indigenous and other partners, stakeholders, and researchers, strive to protect. viii Wapusk National Park ix Management Plan Table of Contents Foreword ..............................................................................................iii Recommendations................................................................................ v Executive Summary .............................................................................vii 1.0 Introduction .................................................................................... 1 2.0 Significance of Wapusk National Park ............................................ 3 3.0 Planning Context ............................................................................ 4 4.0 Vision .............................................................................................. 6 5.0 Key Strategies ................................................................................ 7 6.0 Zoning ........................................................................................... 10 7.0 Summary of Strategic Environmental Assessment ....................... 13 Maps Map 1: Wapusk National Park .............................................................. 2 Map 2: Wapusk National Park Zoning ................................................ 12 x Wapusk National Park 1 Management Plan 1.0 Introduction Wapusk NP is located on the western shores of Hudson Bay in northeast Manitoba. The park is surrounded by Hudson Bay on the north and east and by the Churchill Wildlife Management Area (WMA) on the west and south. The 11,475 km2 area selected for Wapusk NP was originally part of the larger Churchill WMA, established by the Province of Manitoba in 1978 to manage and protect wildlife and its habitat. The park, which lies in the transitional zone between boreal forest and arctic tundra, was determined to be the best overall representation of the Hudson-James Bay Lowlands, one of the 39 terrestrial national park natural regions of Canada. Wapusk NP was created with the signing of The Federal-Provincial Memorandum of Agreement for Wapusk National Park (Park Establishment Agreement) on April 24, 1996. Parks Canada manages one of the finest and most extensive systems of protected natural and historic places in the world. The Agency’s mandate is to protect and present these places for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations. Future-oriented, strategic management of each national park, national marine conservation area, heritage canal and those national historic sites administered by Parks Canada supports the Agency’s vision: Canada’s treasured natural and historic places will be a living legacy, connecting hearts and minds to a stronger, deeper understanding of the very essence of Canada. The Canada National Parks Act and the Parks Canada Agency Act require Parks Canada to prepare a management plan for each national park. The Wapusk National Park Management Plan, once approved by the Minister responsible for Parks Canada and tabled in Parliament, ensures Parks Canada’s accountability to Canadians, outlining how park management will achieve measurable results in support of the Agency’s mandate. The plan sets clear, strategic direction for the management and operation of Wapusk National Park by articulating a vision, key strategies and objectives. Parks Canada will report annually on progress toward achieving the plan objectives and will review the plan every ten years or sooner if required. The Wapusk Management Board was involved in the preparation of this and the prior management plan. The board includes representatives from the nearby communities of Churchill, Fox Lake Cree Nation, and York Factory First Nation. The board’s consultation with Indigenous partners, key stakeholders, and the public is also an important part of shaping the future of the national park. This plan is not an end in and of itself. Parks Canada will maintain an open dialogue on the implementation of the management plan, to ensure that it remains relevant and meaningful. The plan will serve as the focus for ongoing engagement on the management of Wapusk National Park in years to come. 2 Map 1: Wapusk National Park Wapusk National Park 3 Management

They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of magic and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. What we cherish as part of our national identity, we also recognise as part of our national responsibility. All Canadians share the obligation to preserve and protect Canada’s unique cultural and natural heritage. Together, we hold our national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas in trust for the benefit of this and future generations. To achieve this, practical action grounded in long term thinking is needed. These principles form the foundation of this new management plan for Riel House National Historic Site of Canada.

Cam Elliott Superintendent, Wapusk National Park & Manitoba North National Historic Sites Usually people don’t view the implementation of new rules and regulations as a reason to rejoice, but in the case of the Wapusk National Park Use Regulations, which came into effect on March 26, 2010, there is reason to celebrate. The Wapusk regulations are unique in Canada’s national park system. By allowing certain activities customarily prohibited in other national parks, they reflect and respect the unique history and traditional local use of the Wapusk National Park (NP) lands. The commitment to the distinct local use of Wapusk NP was made by the Government of Canada in the Federal- Provincial Agreement to Establish Wapusk National Park, an agreement that grew out of public consultations in the Churchill area. Certain activities are generally prohibited in national parks: hunting, trapping, gathering natural products from the land, using all terrain vehicles to access park lands, and using cabins to support these activities. However, the Wapusk Park Establishment Agreement (1996) recognizes these as traditional user activities for the longtime residents of Churchill at the time the agreement was signed. Aboriginal and treaty rights in the park, Picking berries continuation of traditional use of park lands by First Nation Photo: Parks Canada 1 people, and continuing specified traditional uses of park lands and resources by eligible non-Aboriginal people are Parks Canada Plans outlined in the agreement and are allowed through the park use regulations.

    2.0 Native Land Use - Historical Period

    2.0 NATIVE LAND USE - HISTORICAL PERIOD The first French explorers arrived in the Red River valley during the early 1730s. Their travels and encounters with the aboriginal populations were recorded in diaries and plotted on maps, and with that, recorded history began for the region known now as the Lake Winnipeg and Red River basins. Native Movements Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye records that there were three distinct groups present in this region during the 1730s and 1740s: the Cree, the Assiniboine, and the Sioux. The Cree were largely occupying the boreal forest areas of what is now northern and central Manitoba. The Assiniboine were living and hunting along the parkland transitional zone, particularly the ‘lower’ Red River and Assiniboine River valleys. The Sioux lived on the open plains in the region of the upper Red River valley, and west of the Red River in upper reaches of the Mississippi water system. Approximately 75 years later, when the first contingent of Selkirk Settlers arrived in 1812, the Assiniboine had completely vacated eastern Manitoba and moved off to the west and southwest, allowing the Ojibwa, or Saulteaux, to move in from the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior regions. Farther to the south in the United States, the Ojibwa or Chippewa also had migrated westward, and had settled in the Red Lake region of what is now north central Minnesota. By this time some of the Sioux had given up the wooded eastern portions of their territory and dwelt exclusively on the open prairie west of the Red and south of the Pembina River.
