“…Non-status communities struggle to a larger degree than "status" groups that benefi t from federally protected reserve lands and other Aboriginal rights pursuant to the Act (Hawkes, 1989). Such developments are not just sanctioned, but actively encouraged by provincial governments, which have primary responsibility for administering land-based natural resources under Canada's constitution (Hessing, Howlett, & Summerville, 2005). In confronting these threats, some non-status First Nations are using a combination of traditional environmental knowledge, a renewed commitment to traditional subsistence activities, and self-developed spiritual ecologies to reassert their sovereignty over ancestral territories, to strengthen the internal social cohesion of their communities, and to guide their interactions with their non-indigenous neighbours and with governments (Sherman, 2008a).…”

Canadian non-status First Nations are often in conflict with more powerful private interests over resource development on their traditional lands. In response, some non-status First Nations are using traditional environmental knowledge and self-developed spiritual ecologies to reassert sovereignty over ancestral territories. One such group, the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation (AAFN), carries out traditional activities including canoe building, hunting, trapping, and harvesting manoomiin (wild rice) on their traditional lands. AAFN members have had several non-violent conflicts with outside interests over land use in recent years. Our multi-year participatory research project sought to understand AAFN's traditional spiritual ecology (mino pimàdiziwin) as practised by its members, and systematically compare it with land- use ethics underlying resource development strategies promoted by Ontario's government. The two are fundamentally at odds, creating potential for future conflicts, but some opportunities for future partnership and collaboration exist. The findings contribute to broader efforts to understand challenges faced by non-status First Nations.

“…In the fourth step, selected policies should be implemented, and in the last phase, monitoring and evaluation of the policies should be conducted. In practice, these two steps are often not sequential but iterative (Hessing and Summerville, 2014) (. Big data, such as real-time traffic data, GPS data, mobile phone data, and social media data, can give more intime reflections of implemented policies in this period, which could let policymakers make prompt adjustments responding to the problems showed in the policy implementation phase.…”

A mail survey was conducted of local residents of a forest-dependent region (Fraser Fort George Regional District, n=974), provincial (British Columbia, n=1208) and Canadian (n=1672) publics to compare their values for forests and preferences for forest management (overall response rate=45.2%). While the local public tended to place a significantly higher (p<0.05) emphasis on economic values and clearcutting practices relative to provincial and national publics, all publics held quite similar views on forest management overall. All publics support a multi-valuelecosystem management over a single-valueltimber management approach to forest management, do not support maximisation of economic returns from timber regardless of the impacts and agree forest managers should be more responsive to local resident values than the values of more distant groups. Responses also reflected a lack of public confidence in government natural resource agencies. Results suggest residents from forest and non forest-dependent communities share similar forest values, that current forest management practices such as clearcutting do not reflect the values of local, provincial or national publics, and that forest managers should be especially responsive to the values of the local public when making forest management decisions.Key words: social values, forest policy, public participation, socially sustainable forest management I Un sondage postal a kt6 effectue auprks des residents locaux d'une region dependante t b la for& (District Fraser Fort George, n=974), des habitants d'une province (Colombie-Britannique, n=1208) et des Canadiens (n=lti72) afin de comparer leurs valeurs attribuees aux for& et leurs preferences en matikre d'amenagement forestier (taux de reponses global=45,2 %).
