| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Richard McKay, Traditional Resource User. McKay covers a wide variety of topics related to his life as a trapper and fisherman in northern Saskatchewan. McKay expresses frustration by the uneven application of vague resource laws towards Aboriginal peoples by the provincial government, and the unwillingness of the government to consult or make policy in colloboration with trappers. McKay also expresses his problems with the regulations regarding land use in the north, and how they seemingly benefit Americans and other outsiders more than the actual northerners. McKay also discusses fur markets in Europe and the inability of trappers to take new market friendly initiatives due to rigid government regulations. Commissioners Chartrand and Erasmus discuss some of these issues with McKay. | |
