Summary:[...]the use of family-based traditional lands for extended periods of time was associated with the Cree nomadic lifestyle and persisted until at least the 1950s - 1960s (Long 1993; Hookimaw-Witt 1997). [...]the conflict that erupted when the Government of Ontario tried to impose the registered trapline system on the Omushkego Cree was not noted in the VDMCEA, although this information was available in published documents (see Tsuji et al. 2011, for a review). [...]it is not unexpected that of the 25 participants in the present study, none referred to the De Beers map (Figure 5) as the one that they (and/or the people they represent or have knowledge of) utilize. The controversy with Bill 191 is related to the resource development Implications for First Nations in the Far North region of Ontario (Gardener et al, 2012). [...]the importance of the mapping of the Omushkego Cree homelands has been recognized by First Nations of the Mushkegowuk Territory in that they passed a resolution concerning "Territorial Mapping and Land Use Planning"; whereby "the First Nations of Mushkegowuk...are committed to developing community led processes to map the entire Mushkegowuk Territory" (Mushkegowuk Tribal Council 2008).
