The Fort Chipewyan Metis Local Fort Chipewyan Métis Local 125 Métis Nation of Alberta <contact information removed> May 29th, 2017 Dear Mr. Bolton: The Fort Chipewyan Metis Local 125 (“FCML 125”) met with Candace Anderson (CEAA Crown Consultation Coordinator for the Frontier Project) on February 6th by email and by phone a few days later. The purpose of the meeting was to ensure that we were aware of the Frontier Oil Sands Mine Project Joint Review Panel Information Request Package #4, which was issued on February 3, 2016. During the meeting, Ms. Anderson drew our attention to Joint Review Panel Information Request 4.3 in which the Panel requests information regarding Aboriginal-led cultural impact assessments. Ms. Anderson encouraged us to follow up with the Panel directly regarding the FCML 125 Cultural Impact Assessment as the Panel may not have knowledge that the assessment exists. We understand that Teck has reviewed the FCML 125 Cultural Impact Assessment and that the assessment has informed Teck’s responses to information requests from regulators and the Panel. More importantly, we would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that the FCML 125 Cultural Impact Assessment (along with the FCML 125 traditional land use study and other FCML 125 submissions regarding the Frontier Project) have directly informed the terms of the Participation Agreement that we concluded with Teck in the fall of 2016. Although the details of the Agreement remain confidential to Teck and the FCML 125, the Agreement is intended to mitigate and accommodate Project specific impacts of the Frontier Project on the FCM, including cultural impacts. Further, Teck has committed to the FCML 125 that as Teck advances the Project, community input (including any additional studies) will continue to inform the development of the Project (including mitigation and management measures). As background, Teck approached the FCML 125 about a FCM-led cultural impact assessment for the Frontier Project in May 2014. Teck and FCML 125 agreed on a scope of work and budget for the assessment and FCML 125 completed the assessment in November 2015. The completed assessment was provided to Teck on November 13, 2015 and FCML 125 requested that Teck keep the assessment confidential. As cultural impact assessments are new for the oil sands region, FCML 125 had concerns about how the information provided in the assessment may be used in the regulatory process for the Frontier Project or other regulatory processes in the region. Upon further consideration of the useful information provided in the FCML 125 Cultural Impact Assessment, we have decided to consent to sharing it with CEAA and for posting on the public registry. We hope the Panel will include it in informing their deliberations on the proposed Frontier project. We trust that this letter has provided the Panel 1 with appropriate clarification regarding the FCML 125 Cultural Impact Assessment for the Frontier Project. <Original signed by> Cc: Ora Campbell, Office Manager, FCML 125, <email address removed> Cynthia Bertolin, Sunrope Services Ltd., <email address removed> Kim Dertien-Loubert, Woven Paths Inc., <email address removed> Candace Anderson, Crown Consultation Coordinator, CEAA, Candace.Anderson@ceaa- acee.gc.ca Domitien Mugemana, CEAA, [email protected] Yvonne Walsh, Teck Resources Ltd., <email address removed> Janais Turuk, Teck Resources Ltd., <email address removed> Sheila Risbud, Teck Resources Ltd., <email address removed> Carly Hoogeveen, Teck Resources Ltd., <email address removed> 2 Fort Chipewyan Métis, Local 125 Cultural Impact Assessment PREPARED FOR Fort Chipewyan Métis, Local 125 PREPARED BY Ann Garibaldi, MSc Thomas Dyck, MA, PhD Candidate Kevan Berg, PhD Shanti Berryman, PhD Integral Ecology Group, Ltd.

Email:<email address removed> <contact information removed> Phone: Fort Chipewyan Métis Local 125 Cultural Impact Assessment ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the Fort Chipewyan Métis (FCM) Local 125 focus group participants who so generously shared their time and expertise throughout the development of this study. The FCM focus group is composed of FCM members who willingly met to discuss the project and provide their insights that have informed the cultural impacts and drivers being assessed in the study. We greatly appreciate the traditional knowledge and observations that they shared. We hope this study supports the cultural aspirations of FCM community members now and into the future. Fort Chipewyan Métis Local 125 Cultural Impact Assessment Page i LIMITATIONS AND TERMS OF USE This report for the Fort Chipewyan Métis (FCM) Local 125 Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) is intended to inform the Provincial reviewers and Federal regulators of project-specific and cumulative impacts on, and concerns of, FCM for Teck Resources Limited’s (Teck) Frontier Mine Project (Frontier Project) Update. It is expected that this report will be submitted in its entirety to provide Provincial and Federal regulators with a summary of the Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) initial findings. The FCM CIA is a companion study to the FCM Land Use & Ecological Knowledge Study completed by Woven Paths Consulting Ltd. on behalf of FCM. Together these studies address the linked expressions of culture and the land, and they seek to assess the potential Project-specific and cumulative effects on culture and traditional land use. The traditional knowledge and cultural information herein remains the intellectual property of FCM and its members. Fort Chipewyan Métis Local 125 Cultural Impact Assessment Page ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since the 1960s, the ongoing and cumulative uptake of land for oil sands projects and related industrial expansion has had a rapid and profound impact on the traditional lands and potentially cultures of First Nations and Métis people in northeastern Alberta (Behr et al. 2014, FMIRC 2010). It is only recently that projects undergoing regulatory review have been required to consider impacts to cultures along with impacts to biophysical parameters. Nonetheless, Aboriginal people have long been concerned about the profound cultural shifts that are occurring as a result of changes to their lands and the land-based resources on which they have traditionally relied, although to date no government body has called for monitoring of such changes. Large-scale land disturbance may have led to significant changes to the quality, availability, and access to traditional resources, as well as to elements of Aboriginal cultures, such as knowledge transmission, languages, and expression of shared values. Few studies comprehensively address shifts in culture and their meanings as a result of large-scale land disturbances using rigorous and defensible methods. Further, no monitoring programs exist in the region to assess changes in culture through time. To understand the nature and extent of changes to culture brought on as a result of industrial development, further examination of the complex cultural meanings and values that the land holds for local Aboriginal people is needed. The goals of this study were to: 1. Identify key aspects of FCM lifestyle that are valued in FCM culture and develop indicators for cultural assessment; 2.

  • Stakeholder and Aboriginal Community Focus Group Summary
    Athabasca Watershed Planning and Advisory Council (WPAC) Development Process Stakeholder and Aboriginal Community Focus Groups Summary DD December 2008 Draft 2 Executive Summary Alberta Environment held a series of Focus Groups with Stakeholder sectors and Aboriginal communities within the Athabasca watershed between September and November of 2008. The ten Focus Groups were held as part of the process to establish a Watershed Planning and Advisory Council (WPAC) within the Athabasca watershed by 2010. Participants were invited to share their thoughts and opinions on the benefits of participating in a WPAC, what resources participants’ organizations might provide to the WPAC, changes or suggestions to the draft Initiators Group Terms of Reference, and preferences for a draft Communications Strategy. Participants were also asked to name one or two volunteers from their sector/aboriginal community to participate on a WPAC Initiators Group and facilitate communication between their group and the Initiators Group. The Initiators Group will prepare the documentation needed to set up the WPAC, such as a Terms of Reference, Society by-laws, initial strategic plan, and so on. Discussion during these meetings resulted in an overview of participant perspectives that can be used to guide the next steps in the Athabasca WPAC development process. Stakeholder sectors and Aboriginal communities may wish to consider ideas in this summary for their own purposes, such as refining their Communications Strategy. More specifically, the Initiators Group (IG) can use the information within this document to guide their discussions and work on the draft governance and foundational documents of the future WPAC. Collectively, participants offered many and varied benefits for their respective organizations of participating in a WPAC.

    Fish, Food and the Fur Trade: The use of Hudson’s Bay Company’s post journals for Moose Factory, Cumberland House, Edmonton House, Fort Athabasca, and Ile a la Crosse to reconstruct the provisioning of fish, fowl and game, ca. 1777 - 1827 by Loriena Pearl Melnick A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta © Loriena Pearl Melnick, 2018 Abstract Most historical research of the fur trade era has focused on the trade of fur and there has been limited recognition of the use of fish for non-commodity uses. Fish were not a commodity that the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) traded for the purpose of exporting back to Europe as had been done with furs. In many parts in Canada, it is theorized that fish in addition to fur was utilized as a trade commodity between Indigenous peoples and the HBC. Due to its reliability and caloric content, fish was a key resource, depended upon, and was exploited year-round by peoples who habituated these regions given local fisheries were able to sustain and support large communities. As less is known about the role of fish in the diet and trade of the HBC and Indigenous peoples, this research explores this lesser known aspect of the trade. Through a series of regional case studies based on HBC post journals of daily occurrences, the significance of freshwater fish to the mercantile fur trade is determined by examining the role of fish in the staple diet, work routines, and trading strategies of HBC fur traders in central Canada between the years of 1777 to 1827, including Fort Athabasca, Cumberland House, Ile a la Crosse, Moose Factory, and Edmonton House.

The family of the French/Cree coureur de bois Francois Beaulieu (born in 1771 at Great Slave Lake)8 and his Chipewyan wife Ethiba were at the Great Slave Lake in the 1780s when North West Company traders explored the Great Slave Lake.9 The NWTMN’s traditional way of life includes hunting, trapping, and trading.10 Negotiations Since 1981 when they participated in the Dene/Métis negotiations, the Métis of the Northwest Territories have been negotiating regional claims with Canada.
