“…Communities often have disputes within them over proposed developments. While there may be variation in conflict within communities, and between communities and proponents of development, consistent across socio-environmental studies on indigenous communities is the reported desire to maintain hunting, fishing and trapping lifestyles that are central to identity and resilience in Native communities (Berkes 1999, Natcher and Hickey 2002, Davis 2005, Schramm 2005. Their interests and uses of the northern forests and wildlife will be difficult to reconcile with production of non-renewable resources.…”

Wetlands of the western boreal forest are poorly studied. In the last decade (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000) there were approximately 1810 northern hemisphere scientific papers published addressing boreal wetlands, tundra, taiga, or bogs. We explore the extent of understanding and impacts of six major agents of change affecting forested wetlands of the boreal zone: (1) commercial forestry, (2) petroleum extraction, (3) mining (bitumen, coal, peat, ore, and diamonds), (4) agriculture, (5) climate change, and (6) hydrologic alteration. Finally, we address the social context, costs, and recommendations for wetland maintenance.

“…They reiterated that sustainability is a multidimensional indicandum including environmental compatibility, social acceptability, justice and economic development. Natcher & Hickey (2002) have included in a small area near Alberta, systematic recording of changes in management plans based on objectives, criteria, indicators and actions. In the case of forest management, they consider that the native community should be helped to access to land and resources, protection of the areas identified by members of the community, as important, meaningful historical, biological, cultural, and protection rights to perform various activities in the forest, promote economic opportunities for members of the community, and enabling their participation in the decision-making processes.…”

“…The importance of sustainability in the loss of resources is increasingly, yet, the common contempt for the indigenous communities as sites of consensus when it comes to resource management (Natcher & Hickey, 2002), biased decisions unilaterally in social development programs. Persha et al (2011) shows that forests tend to be sustainable when users have the right to participate in government programs, formally recognized.…”

“…In addition to formal/legal consultation requirements, federal and provincial governments have adopted criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management that include consultation of Aboriginal peoples (Natcher 2001, Natcher and Hickey 2002, Ross and Smith 2003, McGregor 2006, Adam and Kneeshaw 2008, Saint-Arnaud et al 2009). Some forest certification systems require similar consultation processes (Collier et al 2002).…”

Aboriginal peoples in Canada present a special case of citizen involvement in forest governance, with rights and status that go beyond those of other stakeholders and individuals. Increasingly, participation processes aimed specifically at Aboriginal representatives are being used to encourage their involvement in forest management. This article asks what would be the characteristics of a distinct process that could respond to Aboriginal rights, needs and expectations. We do so by combining the results of a broad Québec-wide study with those from a case study of forestry participation in a single community. A total of 68 consultation processes are analyzed. These experiences enable the identification of several characteristics of consultation processes used for First Nations. We also note that distinct consultations typically reflect the same practices that are used more generally for public participation in forestry, raising the question of whether or not these consultations truly respond to Aboriginal rights, needs and expectations in Québec.Key words: Aboriginal peoples, Aboriginal forestry, forest management, public participation mechanisms, duty to consult, Canada RÉSUMÉ Étant donné leurs droits et leur statut qui se distinguent de ceux des autres parties prenantes, les Autochtones du Canada présentent un cas particulier en lien avec l'implication des citoyens dans la gouvernance des forêts. Des processus de participation s'adressant spécifiquement aux Autochtones sont progressivement mis en place afin de les impliquer davantage dans la gestion forestière. Cet article se demande en quoi les caractéristiques de processus distincts peuvent rencontrer les besoins et les attentes des Autochtones. Afin de répondre à cette question, nous présentons les résultats combinés d'une étude à grande échelle à travers le Québec et d'une étude approfondie portant sur la participation au sein d'une seule communauté autochtone. Un total de 68 processus participatifs sont analysés. Ces expériences permettent d'identifier des caractéristiques des processus participatifs utilisés avec les peuples autochtones. Elles permettent d' observer que les processus distincts reflètent généralement des pratiques communément admises pour la participation publique dans le secteur forestier. Cela soulève la question de savoir si ces processus répondent aux droits, aux besoins et aux attentes des Autochtones du Québec.
