Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Paul Dixon stating that the Canadian government has distroyed "most of the hunting societies that have existed since time immemorial." Traplines are being destroyed as forestry operations are wiping out animals' shelter and vegetation for safety of their lives. The cyclical movements of animals and the mating pathways are greatly damaged and Dixon states that innumerable animal and plant species are endangered. He calls on the Commission to help stop the destruction of animals and plants used by trappers for survival. Following the presentation is a question-and-answer session with the Commissioners. | |
