Land, landscape, culturescape : Aboriginal relationships to land and the co-management of natural resources / Andrew Chapeskie.: Z1-1991/1-41-22E-PDF
“The co-management of Natural resources, and in particular living resources, is increasingly being promoted as providing the means by which Aboriginal groups could contribute to the overall management of natural resources in northern Canada. The concept of co-management has gained increased credibility in recent years due to the increasing awareness of the value of indigenous ecological knowledge and the reality of what might be called indigenous self-management of natural resources or the self-regulation of indigenous land based livelihood pursuits. Based on several years of field work with Anishinaabe "harvesters", this essay explores the problems and prospects for the sharing of resource management responsibilities between the state and aboriginal groups on lands customarily occupied by the latter. This exploration reveals that there are significant challenges confronting the sharing of resource management responsibilities that will have to be resolved if "co-management" is to become effective. This essay reveals these challenges as they are reflected in the cross-cultural incommensurability that divides Anishinaabe and non-aboriginal relationships to land in Northwestern Ontario”--Executive summary, p. i.
