Parks Canada and two First Nations have signed an agreement that points to a stronger Indigenous voice in national parks management and opens the door to harvesting in western Alberta's Jasper National Park.
"We want to be part of decision-making in the park," Chief George Lampreau, of the Simpcw First Nation, said from Barriere, B.C.
"We're going to move toward greater management collaboration with the Indigenous groups we work with." "We wanted to let the world know these treaties exist between nations," he said. "It's a living spirit."
