The White Feather forest initiative comes out of northwestern Ontario, centred roughly around the Pikangikum First Nation's traditional territory, and then it flows further west into the eastern side of the lakes in Manitoba.
There's a consortium of either six or seven first nations—I don't have my technical notes in front of me—that have managed to make it work in partnership with provincial ministries from both Manitoba and Ontario, and also with a federal level of jurisdiction through Parks Canada, and then an international jurisdiction involving the UNESCO world heritage site designation party. Someone raised in the critical academic tradition would look at the surface of that and ask how the heck they are going to keep that boat going in the same direction—and they have done so.
I don't know the exact funding formula for how all these parties have contributed and what the funding formulas are; I don't have the agreements. I know that there have been investments by the provinces, both Manitoba and Ontario, and I imagine that to have Parks Canada people and UNESCO adjudicating people there, there would have to be some sort of in-kind contribution at minimum, in terms of time for staff.
