Exploring Diversified Strategies for Co-operative Management of Forests by a First Nation and the Province of Alberta
While the boreal forests in northern Alberta have rich natural resources, which assure economic development for regional and provincial finances, for Aboriginal people living there, the forests have played a pivotal role in continuing their traditional subsistence based on hunting and gathering.
