“…We analyzed the data using Braun and Clarke's (2012) six stage approach to thematic analysis: i) becoming familiar with the data through transcribing, reading and re-reading the transcripts; ii) generating initial codes by picking up on meaningful themes throughout the interview transcriptions; iii) searching for themes and iv) reviewing potential themesthis involved bringing together codes to create meaningful themes from the data and then going back to the data set with these themes to review them against all of the data. Thematic analysis has been utilized by other researchers in sociology and leisure studies (Brice & Andrews, 2019;Wall, 2009), and has also been utilized by others engaging with postcolonial theory (Greey, 2018;Macdonald, Abbott & Jenkins, 2012;Mukhopadhyay, 2015). In this analysis, we engaged with a postcolonial perspective by examining the structural conditions and socio-cultural contexts that were embedded within the relationships between community members and industry.…”

The growing role of the extractives industry in providing funding for recreational and cultural programmes in exchange for access to Indigenous lands raises some important questions about the impact this has on local community members. Informed by tenets of postcolonial theory and a community-based participatory research methodology, we worked with individuals in a small Indigenous community, Fort McKay, Alberta, Canada, to learn about their perspectives of the role of industry in funding their recreational and cultural programs. Our findings revealed that while many were grateful for this funding, they also felt that industry had a responsibility to fund these programs to offset the negative impacts industry had on their traditional territories. Further, they felt that the provision of these programs does not fully address the loss of access to traditional cultural practices. While proponents of the extractives industry promote funding as a way to increase Indigenous self-determination, our findings show that increased selfdetermination through such arrangements is limited.
