Description

This article describes how the non-status Ardoch Algonquin First Nation (AAFN) have worked to re-establish their connection to their traditional lands in response to the powerful private interests engaged in resource development on those lands. The article seeks to understand how the AAFN members practice their traditional spiritual ecology (mino pimadiziwin) and compares this practice with land-use ethics underlying the resource development strategies promoted by the Ontario government to highlight how the two strategies are fundamentally at odds and could create future conflicts.
