Description

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