Most of it was based on harvesting and where our nation members have traditionally used those resources, so where there have been known herds of the caribou and the bison. There's an area called Ronald Lake. It's not far from our reserve land, called Poplar Point, which is along the Athabasca River.
Members tell us where they are out on the land. It's intensive interviewing of what they're doing on the land, what species they're harvesting. They also tell us what the habitat looks like. The Ronald Lake herd.... It's a beautiful, rich habitat for a large herd of bison, about 150 species in there, 150 members of the bison. Right now, the area is under proposed development. There is a company that is proposing to mine out huge areas of their habitat. We create these stewardship plans to inform members such as you to take a break and really look at protecting this species. These are species that are important to ACFN—and surrounding communities, not just ACFN.
