Abstract

On behalf of the National Aboriginal Forestry Association (NAFA), I have appreciated the opportunity to be part of the planning committee for this conference. As an invited speaker, I'd like to pay particular respect to the Anishinabeg people of the Treaty #3 area as it is in their traditional territory where we have chosen to discuss the matter of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Considering the importance of the topic, the presence of Elder Clifford Skead is acknowledged and appreciated. As I am a member of the Rainy River First Nation, located about 150 km south of Kenora, this conference and the trip here provide me with an opportunity to visit with my home community and to renew some old friendships.
