"These proceedings reflect the deliberations of the Upper Mackenzie River Basin Planning Workshop which was held August 18-20, 1997 in Yellowknife, the Northwest Territories. The Workshop was supported under the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. The Workshop was designed to exchange information on contaminant issues in the Mackenzie River Basin, to learn more about community concems regarding contaminants in the basin and to develop priorities for future study under Phase 2 of the Northern Contaminants Program. The proceedings consist of three basic parts: presentations by community representatives; presentations by researchers; and the workshop deliberations in which two basic questions were addressed. A wide variety of concerns regarding contaminants and other issues were raised by community representatives. Scientific presentations addressed some of these issues but many issues were based on specific concerns at various communities. These issues were explored more fully during the workshop deliberations. However, these issues were too complex and numerous and the time too short for any form of consensus to be reached on priority issues for the workshop as a whole. Nevertheless, the workshop provided for a first and highly infonnative of exchange of knowledge and concerns between researchers and community representatives"--Abstract, page iv.
