  • 5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
    CA PDF Page 1 of 92 Energy East Project Part B: Saskatchewan and Manitoba Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015, so it contains figures and text descriptions that refer to the October 2014 Project design. 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 TLRU, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. Volume 25 for Prairies region provides important supporting information for this section; Volume 25 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.

The school on Mus- kowekwan First Nation, 100 km north west of Fort Qu’Appelle, was built in 1930 and closed in 1997. Earlier this month the federal government desig- nated the property a National Historic Site where Canadians could learn “the full scope of our shared history.” Some former students want the building restored and maintained as a place of commemoration for all Canadians. Others want it torn down. Wolfe, 44, who was installed as chief on July 12, attended the school as a boy. “It is where I learned the system,” he told The Fort Times. “The reason why that building is still standing is because a previ- ALAN HUSTAK | GRASSLANDS NEWS ous council voted back in 1999, 2000 to keep it there New Muskowekwan chief as a reminder to the community of its past so we Newly elected Muskowekwan chief Jaimie Wolfe is given a hug (above) following his installation on July could move ahead to correct all the wrongs and move 12.
