The Barriere Lake Trilateral Agreement / Claudia Notzke.: Z1-1991/1-41-37E-PDF
“The 1980s and 1990s have been witnessing a redefinition of the relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians, and as part of it, a restructuring of power and responsibility with regard to natural resources. Co-management, joint management or joint stewardship regimes have been the most tangible result of these changed parameters. These innovative management regimes integrate local and state management systems, allocate control of resources among competing interests and facilitate the merging of knowledge. They have been established in all parts of Canada under different circumstances and for different purposes. The Barriere Lake Trilateral Agreement of northern Quebec is more than just another variation on this increasingly familiar theme. It constitutes a category of its own and is unmatched (at least in the provinces) in its vision as well as in the problems its proponents have had to overcome. This Agreement was designed to address a situation, where a small aboriginal community, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake in La Verendrye Park, pursuing an essentially land-based way of life, saw themselves confronted with aggressive resource exploitation in their traditional use area, in the form of logging, recreational hunting, and hydroelectric development. This situation is embedded in a political framework of non-recognition of treaty and aboriginal rights, centralized decision-making with regard to land and resource use planning, and a strong emphasis on extractive resource utilization”--Executive summary, p. 5.
