Treaty Right to Trap
At present, Treaty First Nation trappers are placed in the same position as non-First Nation trappers. In response, a Treaty Harvesters Association is under development for review and mandate from the Lands and Resources Commission intended to work collectively on asserting the Treaty right to trap. In addition, a Treaty Harvesters Gathering will be held upon successful acquisition of funding. The FSIN will continue to provide support for First Nations trappers.
Retention of Treaty Trapping Territories
The Chiefs-in-Assembly adopted Resolution #1722 for the Secretariat to notify Saskatchewan Environment that First Nations trapping blocks be immediately respected, retained and protected as exclusive First Nations trapping blocks.
