  • 8.0 Fishing and Water Use
    SECTION 8.0 FISHING AND WATER USE 8.0 Fishing and Water Use Fishing has always been part of the Fort McKay Métis livelihood. Many books, reports and assessments have described the importance of the traditional fishery to people of Fort McKay (FMSD 2015, FMSD 2013, Stanislawski 1998, FMFN 1994, FMTA 1983). In 1983, the FMTA said, “We emphasize the main rivers, and particularly the Athabasca, because in the early years since our contact with non-Indians, these rivers served as transportation or penetration routes through our territory. The rivers and many creeks within our hunting and trapping territory are important to emphasize because our people’s land use roughly corresponds to the watershed boundaries and the drainage areas contained within them. These we view as natural boundaries and serve as points of reference.” (FMTA 1983, p. 72) Key fishing areas in the vicinity of Fort McKay included the Athabasca River corridor, Firebag River drainage and the Namur Lakes area (Stanislawski 1998). The Muskeg River Basin is also ecologically and culturally important to Fort McKay Métis people (FMSD 2015; MMSC WS2 2015). Some of the waterways traditionally used by Fort McKay First Nation and Métis community members have been mapped and described in several key reports (FMFN 1994; Stanislawski 1998; FMSD 2013). These waterways, and the key watersheds they are associated with, are shown on Map 5. As far as the Métis community's concerned, Métis communities stuck to the rivers. For the most part, they used the river systems as a way to get around. That was their life.

  • Peace-Athabasca Delta Flood Ffistory
    Peace-Athabasca Delta Flood ffistory Sharon Thomson Historical Services, Prairie & Northern Region Documentary Information This research was undertaken in response to a request from Wood Buffalo National Park for information related to historic water levels on the Peace-Athabasca delta. Since 1967, when construction of the W.A. C. Bennett Dam was completed on the Peace River, water levels in both Lake Athabasca and on the delta have been low. This has allowed willow to encroach upon marshes that have historically been an important habitat for a variety of wildlife. For several years, WBNP has been examining solutions to this problem. Any reconstruction of past water levels requires an understanding of the frequency and extent of past flooding on the delta. Since water has historically been a crucial factor in transportation throughout the fur trade, it seemed probable that information on water levels would be present in daily journals kept at a number of Hudson's Bay Company trading posts Ln the vicinity of the delta. The bulk of information pertaining to Hudson's Bay Company posts is housed at the Hudson's Bay Archives in Winnipeg, and is comprised of post journals and accounts of fur returns. Information relevant to this study was derived from several different posts, with the bulk taken from daily journals kept at Fort Vermilion (covering the period 1826 to 1906) and Fort Chipewyan (covering the years 1803 to 1923). Supplementary infor.mation was obtained from post journals kept at Red River and Colvile House, from recorded fur returns for the Athabasca District, Governor George Simpson's Cortespondence Inward, and Annual District Reports.
