The Ministry of First Nations and Métis Relations is pleased to support the first consultation grant awarded to a collaborative effort between a First Nation and a Métis Local from the ministry's Consultation Participation Fund.
The grant will enable both parties to embark on traditional territory mapping in Northern Saskatchewan.
The Cumberland House Cree Nation and Metis Local #42, which are located in the same region, will receive $172,000 from the Consultation Participation Fund to create a Traditional Land Use and Occupancy Study that will take more than one year to finish.
"Traditional land use mapping is valuable to First Nations and Métis people, as well as government, as we move forward to develop our rich provincial resources," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "Our government has a keen interest in every consultation grant that we provide, but I am thrilled to see a joint effort going forward."
In a separate grant, the Big Island Lake Cree Nation, northwest of Meadow Lake, will receive $250,000 from the Consultation Participation Fund to complete its own Traditional Land Use and Occupancy Study. The study is expected to take 14 months to complete.
Traditional territory mapping is an important process which allows government to learn more about the traditional land use activities of First Nations and Métis Locals including hunting, fishing, trapping, sacred and ceremonial sites, medicinal plants, and kill and camp sites.
The maps are a valuable part of the consultation process ensuring government and proponents know who to consult, and consider Treaty and Aboriginal rights in their planning and permitting process.
