Power-sharing between the Cree and Québec governments in Eeyou Itschee (Québec, Canada)
The Adapted Forestry Regime (AFR) of the Paix des Braves agreement is an important stepping-stone in the long process of involving Indigenous Peoples in state management of forestlands in Canada. This paper explores the challenges raised by a process involving the Cree nation and the Québec provincial government in the implementation of a collaborative approach to forest management on Cree traditional lands. We present three key processes that ha…
Recognizing Indigenous and Traditional Peoples and their identity, culture, rights, and governance of forestlands
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the diversity of international research on the multiple ways in which Indigenous and Traditional peoples (ITP) are engaged in occupying and governing forest landscapes, consistent with their rights, values, knowledge and customs. This Introduction begins by reviewing our evolving understanding of two key questions: what rights are held by ITP; and how "Indigenous" and "Traditional" are actually de…
Discrimination Impacts Trust During Collaborative Natural Resource Governance Involving Indigenous Communities
Trust is critical to collaborative governance, including of natural resources. Existing frameworks variously emphasize the impact of individual propensity, interpersonal dynamics, and institutional characteristics on trust. However, few frameworks consider the impacts of these influences on trust simultaneously. This study uses a survey of 51 representatives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments from across Canada with experience in natura…
How institutions shape trust during collective action
Certifying a state forestry agency in Quebec
As voluntary third‐party certification systems become an increasingly accepted part of international frameworks for forest governance, some state forestry agencies are following the private sector in seeking certification of their forest management activities. We ask how the roles and responsibilities of state forest management agencies interact with the processes and mechanisms established by certification systems. To answer this question, we re…
Forests, law and customary rights in Indonesia
This paper reviews the emerging effects of the 2012 decision of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia relating to the customary management of Indonesia's traditional forests. It focuses on the challenge of moving from legal to political and societal recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights. In its advocacy of customary land rights, Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara (AMAN) successfully applied to the Constitutional Court for judicial review of th…
Maintaining accountability between levels of governance in Indigenous economic development
Many Indigenous communities in Canada have established economic development corporations (EDCs) to support economic development that meets community goals. Indigenous EDCs, like social enterprises, typically prioritize multiple socio‐economic goals and may be used to limit political influence on business operations; however, complete separation can be detrimental to success. This article explores formal mechanisms used by Indigenous EDCs to maint…

Indigenous Peoples' Expectations for Forestry in New Brunswick
This article considers how competing interpretations of rights upon forestland affect indigenous peoples' ability to derive benefits from forests, using interviews and an evaluation exercise in 13 First Nations communities in New Brunswick, Canada. We asked first what First Nations expect from provincial forest governance arrangements, and second, what is preventing them from attaining their expectations? Informants attached greatest importance t…
Cooptation et résistance dans la planification forestière concertée au Québec
Définies comme des processus de concertation où les utilisateurs du territoire sont invités à élaborer une vision commune de la gestion des territoires forestiers, les tables de gestion intégrée des ressources et du territoire (« tables GIRT ») sont apparues au Québec en 2010. Cet article explore la participation des Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok à ces tables, et contrairement à d’autres études qui tendent à interpréter les processus collaboratifs comm…
Valeurs autochtones et modèles forestiers
Au Québec, la foresterie s’effectue majoritairement en territoires traditionnels autochtones. Il est de plus en plus reconnu qu’une gestion durable des forêts doit tenir compte des valeurs autochtones. Par contre, respecter ces valeurs dans les processus de gestion est difficile à mettre en pratique. Les auteurs de cet article s’attaquent à ce problème en expliquant comment six modèles de gestion reflètent les valeurs des Innus d’Essipit associée…
L'occupation contemporaine du Nitaskinan par les Nehirowisiwok de Wemotaci
Cet article explore les liens contemporains que les Nehirowisiwok entretiennent avec le Nitaskinan, leur territoire ancestral. Des entrevues avec une trentaine de membres de la communauté de Wemotaci ont révélé comment ils s'occupent du territoire en y pratiquant une grande diversité d'activités. Ces activités peuvent être regroupées selon trois thèmes principaux : kapeciwin , la vie au camp et sur le territoire, tipahiskan , les activités de ges…
Is forest certification delivering on First Nation issues? The effectiveness of the FSC standard in advancing First Nations' rights in the boreal forests of Ontario and Quebec, Canada
First Nations’ involvement in forest governance in Québec
Aboriginal peoples in Canada present a special case of citizen involvement in forest governance, with rights and statusthat go beyond those of other stakeholders and individuals. Increasingly, participation processes aimed specifically atAboriginal representatives are being used to encourage their involvement in forest management. This article asks whatwould be the characteristics of a distinct process that could respond to Aboriginal rights, nee…
Certifying Small-Scale Private Forests in Eastern Canada
Certification is increasingly important in Canada as a tool for promoting, monitoring, and rewarding sustainable forest management. However, success in certifying large public or industry-owned forests has not been matched by small-scale private forests, which nevertheless provide an important range of social, economic, and environmental benefits. In this exploratory research, we examine the presence and absence of certification systems in three …
Si les autres le font, pourquoi pas nous ? »
Au cours des dernières décennies, les premières nations ont joué un rôle croissant dans la foresterie canadienne, mais les types de participation qui sont à leur disposition ne répondent pas toujours à leurs aspirations. Les dilemmes auxquels les nations autochtones doivent faire face sont illustrés par le cas de Wemotaci, communauté atikamekw qui, depuis vingt ans, a créé quatre organisations afin de prendre sa place dans le domaine de la forest…

Cancer Incidence in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia
CONTEXT: Composed of all or a portion of 13 states, Appalachia is a heterogeneous, economically disadvantaged region of the eastern United States. While mortality from cancer in Appalachia has previously been reported to be elevated, rates of cancer incidence in Appalachia remain unreported. PURPOSE: To estimate Appalachian cancer incidence by stage and site and to determine if incidence was greater than that in the United States. METHODS: Using …
The Appalachia Cancer Network
Residents of Appalachia, especially those in rural Appalachia, are generally considered to be medically underserved. In fact, cancer mortality in Appalachia, especially in rural Appalachia, is higher than it is in the remainder of the United States. Developing from the Appalachia Leadership Initiative on Cancer, the Appalachia Cancer Network (ACN) is a network of academic and community organizations that seek to conduct surveillance, intervention…
