Abstract: | One of the most important debates in conservation today centers on whether effective linkages can be developed between indigenous systems of wildlife management and those instituted by government authorities. Such linkages must deal with the fact that both parties claim and exercise relative autonomy yet are also, in many respects, mutually dependent on each other. However simple this may sound, all conservationists trying to work with awareness of the connections between the systems of conservation must confront complex issues, ranging from recognizing the knowledge and practices of other cultures to assertions of aboriginal rights and nation-state rights to manage wildlife. Many of these issues have come to light over the past few decades in northern Québec in the relationships between the James Bay Cree and the governments of Québec and Canada. |
Description: | I have benefited from discussions with Cree administrators and colleagues involved in implementing and reviewing the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. I would like to specially thank Philip Awashish, Thomas Berger, Fikret Berkes, Taylor Brelsford, Lorraine Brooke, Brian Craik, Thomas Coon, Rick Cuciurean, Billy Diamond, Peter Hutchins, William Kemp, Abel Kitchen, Steve Langdon, Ignatius LaRusic, James O'Reilly, Alan Penn, Richard Preston, Richard Salisbury, Colin Scott, Adrian Tanner, Peter Usher, Martin Weinstein, and Paul Wilkinson. |
