8.13 Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons
SISSON PROJECT: FINAL 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. -

5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
CA PDF Page 1 of 70 Energy East Project Part E: New Brunswick Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015. Figures referencing the Project description have been updated to reflect the removal of a marine terminal in Québec. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on traditional land and resource use, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. The most relevant information for this section is Volume 25 for Woodlands ecoregion, which reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU. -

1 Changes in the Dawnland Web URL: http://arcg.is/1W6QM0k Tap the play button to animate the map. Beginning of animation: End of animation: For thousands of generations, Wabanaki people have lived across what is now northern New England, the Canadian Maritimes, and Quebec. The arrival of Europeans more than 500 years ago began a process of dramatic and destructive loss that continues today. Much of the Wabanaki homeland was taken through a series of treaties, negotiated between various Wabanaki groups and the French, English, Massachusetts, Maine, and United States governments. Wabanaki and non-Native signatories often had very different ideas and interpretations of what they had agreed to. Wabanaki communities today are working to protect what remains, and to assert their sovereign rights in their homeland, for future generations. For photos and information about Wabanaki communities today, tap here: WABANAKI TODAY 2 Wabanaki Today Web URL: http://arcg.is/1QGlJ7O The Wabanaki Nations – Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot – are thriving and growing in Maine and beyond.

1 Mi'kmaq and Maliseet Tom Longboat Award Recipients' Experiences in Sport in the Maritimes by Vanessa Lodge B.Ssc
1 Mi‘kmaq and Maliseet Tom Longboat Award Recipients‘ Experiences in Sport in the Maritimes by Vanessa Lodge B.SSc. (Hons.), Kinesiology, McMaster University, 2007 Co-Supervisor: Dr. Audrey Giles Co-Supervisor: Dr. Janice Forsyth, University of Western Ontario Committee Member: Dr. Eileen O‘Connor Committee Member: Dr. Michael Robidoux THESIS SUBMISSION Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Human Kinetics School of Human Kinetics University of Ottawa September, 2011 ©Vanessa Lodge, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Chapter 1: Introduction 7 Literature Review 13 Theoretical Framework 22 Thesis Format 33 Chapter 2: Mi‘kmaq and Maliseet Tom Longboat Award Recipients‘ Experiences in Sport 40 Chapter 3: Aboriginal Athletes in the Maritimes: (Re)producing and Challenging Difference 78 Chapter 4: Conclusions 109 3 Abstract This thesis employs postcolonial theory, a case study methodology, semi-structured interviews, and archival research to understand Mi‘kmaq and Maliseet peoples‘ sporting experiences in the Maritimes region of Canada. Two publishable papers comprise this thesis. The first paper analyzes the obstacles the participants faced and the positive experiences they had in sport. The second paper examines the ways in which the concept of ―difference‖ was reproduced and challenged through the participants‘ involvement in mainstream and all-Native sporting environments. Together, these papers bring much needed scholarly attention to Mi‘kmaq and Maliseet peoples‘ involvement in sport in the Maritimes, while they also make a contribution to the existing body of literature concerning Aboriginal peoples‘ sport participation in Canada.
