“…The agreement was reached after the Yakama Chief Yallup asserted the tribe's treaty rights to harvest berries in the face of increasing impacts from non-Indians during the Great Depression (Fisher 1997), but it was not put into writing until 1990 (Richards and Alexander 2006). A similar approach was formalized more recently under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Mount Hood National Forest and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation (Wang et al 2002, Catton 2016 .

ABSTRACT. Tribal communities in the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America (USA) have long-standing relationships to ancestral lands now managed by federal land management agencies. In recent decades, federal and state governments have increasingly recognized tribal rights to resources on public lands and to participate in their management. In support of a new planning initiative to promote sustainable land management, we reviewed scientific publications to examine relationships between tribal social-ecological systems and public lands in the region. We identified key ecocultural resources, impacts to those resources, and associated forest ecosystems, and strategies that have been piloted to redress those impacts. We found that many factors stemming from colonization by Euro-Americans have engendered social-ecological traps that have inhibited tribes from continuing traditional land stewardship activities that supported their well-being and maintained ecological integrity. These long-standing factors include legal and political constraints on tribal access and management; declining quality and abundance of forest resources due to inhibition of both natural disturbance and indigenous tending regimes; competition with nontribal users; species extirpations and introductions of invasive species; and erosion of tribal traditional ecological knowledge and relationships that are important for revitalizing resource use. As a consequence, both supply and demand for these forest resources have been reduced, as have the resilience and diversity of these ecosystems. Simply permitting resource harvest by tribal members does not sufficiently address the underlying constraints in ways that will promote tribal well-being. Escaping these traps will require addressing a gamut of ecological and social constraints through cooperative restoration efforts between land management agencies and tribes, several of which we highlight as examples. Because tribally focused restoration strategies generally align with broader strategies suggested to restore national forests in the region, they can foster both tribal well-being and ecological sustainability.

“…The Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon showcased the potential to set aside huckleberry tracts for exclusive tribal use and cooperatively manage the areas with Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde Community and Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs using prescribed fire and thinning on competing vegetation (Anzinger 2002, Wang et al 2002.…”

“…And we are busy assigning this literature to our students. Thus, the "departures from traditional philosophies of conservation" that Gord describes should soon spread well beyond the national parks agencies, and indeed in much of the Forest Service already have done so (Wang et al 2002: Frentz et al 2000. Given half a chance by a different administration, I am of good and I think not unreasonable hope that the people of Between the Rivers will encounter a far more sympathetic double politics.…”

I give encouragement to David Nickell and the Between the Rivers community by offering an account of good relations between a government natural resource land management agency and local people: Canada's St. Lawrence Islands National Park and the people of the Thousand Islands, focusing on Grenadier Island. I speak from my perspective as a descendent of the former year-round community on Grenadier. I describe our diaspora, our heated disagreement with the St. Lawrence Islands National Park's 1970s expansion plans, and how the local community successfully engaged a dialogue that ended these plans. I recount what I term the double politics of dialogue, a “good-cop/bad-cop” approach used by the community, and its resulting providence of good relations. I conclude with the prospect of such providence for the people of Between the Rivers.
