northern Alberta and created Métis communities. Missionary orders, such
as the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, came next to serve Aboriginal
Peoples to be followed by settlers. Join us as we examine the history
and dynamics of two of Alberta's important French communities.

Traditional Use Studies
The Traditional Use Studies Website explores the history and
methodologies for undertaking studies of land use by Aboriginal
Peoples. This work involves gathering of information from Elders and
other knowledge keepers and creating maps and other documents that make
this knowledge accessible. Findings are valuable for a range of
purposes from rights protection for Aboriginal Peoples (who conduct the
studies), to governments desiring to regulate land use and
environmental protection, and industry wishing to exploit resources.
Examples are drawn from Alberta, Canada and internationally.
