	Chapter 5 Contemporary Atikamekw occupation and use of Nitaskinan
		The importance of kapeciwin is related to maintaining a lifestyle and an occupation of Nitaskinan.
		The information provided by participants concerning their practices on Nitaskinan, together with the insight and explanations of the co-researcher and the reference group, lead to the identification of a series of characteristics of the Atikamekw occupation of Nitaskinan and of the Atikamekw lifestyle.
		This sub-study demonstrates extent of Atikamekw utilisation and occupation of the study zone, and indicates the complexity of contemporary Atikamekw occupation of Nitaskinan.

	Chapter 3 A history of the Atikamekw and the forest industry
		Section 3.2 reviews anthropological and historical research concerning the Atikamekw occupation of Nitaskinan and identifies several characteristics of this occupation that are relevant to the contemporary participation of the Atikamekw in forestlands management.
		Nevertheless, political autonomy and recognition of Aboriginal rights over Nitaskinan (as described in relation to other First Nations in Chapter 1) remains a subject of negotiation with the governments, more than twenty-five years since the first claims were lodged with the federal government.
		Nitaskinan of the Atikamekw and the Haute-Mauricie of the forest industry are geographically similar, but the review presented in this chapter illustrates the different perceptions that these two parties have of the same territory.

		We respectfully remind you that any proposed project south of the US/Canada border that would influence the operation of the generating stations on the Nelson River is of great concern to us.
		It was referring to the wholesale destruction of thousands of square miles, millions of acres of lake, rivers, shoreline and wildlife habitat, and to the resulting human misery for indigenous peoples whose traditional lands, economies, ways of life, and even our lives, are being taken.
		Any further development of the estimated 5,000-6,000 megawatt potential in Nitaskinan and elsewhere in the vast Nelson River watershed will inevitably require more river diversions, dam construction and the flooding of more boreal forest and river habitat.

	Updates 2000 Jan.-Mar.: hydroelectric dams destroying Manitoba Cree rivers
		Pimicikamak Cree elders tell their children and grandchildren that the Crees were placed in Nitaskinan -- "Our Land" -- to govern it, to benefit from its bounty of plants, fish, animals and birds, and to protect it from waste and destruction.
		Since the late 1960's, the Crees have watched in anguish as the government of Manitoba and its state-owned utility, Manitoba Hydro, began to divert and dam the rivers in northern Manitoba, and flooded millions of acres of uplands and forests.
		Our elders remind us that we Ininiwak were put here by the Creator to look after Nitaskinan and the boreal environment of which it is part.
