INTRODUCTION One of the most important and least scrutinized areas of environmental policy is the exercise of administrative discretion. Those committed to environmental action tend to focus on law reform, international treaties, and political commitments-for example, election proposals for carbon taxes and pipelines, or environmental protections in global protocols and trade agreements. Many proponents of stronger environmental protection have focused their attention on the goal of a constitutional amendment recognizing an explicit right to a healthy environment,' while others seek recognition of environmental protection within existing Charter rights.2 As the rights conversation evolves,, advocates t Professor with the Centre for Environmental Law and Global Sustainability at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law, situated on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Nation.

Tribal people’s fundamental value was sustainability, and they conducted their livelihoods in ways that sustained resources and limited inequalities in their society. What made traditional economies so radically different and so very fundamentally dangerous to Western economies were the traditional principles of prosperity of Creation versus scarcity of resources, of sharing and distribution versus accumulation and greed, of kinship usage rights versus individual exclusive ownership rights, and of sustainability versus growth. Rebecca Adamson ii Abstract LeBlanc, J.W. 2014. Natural Resource Management and Indigenous Food Systems in Northern Ontario. 195 pp. The forests and freshwaters of Northern Ontario are complex socio-ecological systems that have provided opportunities to sustain local lives, economies, and cultures since time immemorial. Through nation-to-nation agreements, Indigenous nations ceded land title to the Crown through treaties in which the Crown promised them enhanced livelihood. The treaties articulated the rights of each party to share access to these lands, and the Canadian courts continue to describe the nature and extent of the rights of each party as well as their duties and responsibilities.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

We acknowledge that the place of our conference venue is part of the Treaty, traditional, and contemporary territories of the Anishinabee and the Three Fires Confederacy, the Haudenosaunee and the Delaware/Munsee peoples. As a society inspired by the long-standing and continuous Indigenous presence on this land since time immemorial we recognize the heritage and land stewardship of the local communities of the Delaware Nation at Moraviantown, the Oneida Nation of the Thames, the Munsee Delaware Nation, the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Caldwell First Nation, Walpole Island First Nation, and Aamjiwnaang First Nation. In light of this ongoing stewardship, we reflect that archaeology has not historically been a sufficient witness to the Indigenous-created and maintained record of this land.
