Description: "Seeing Beyond the Trees: The Social Dimensions of Aboriginal Forest Management represents 10 years of collaborative research between the Little Red River Cree Nation (LRRCN) and academic researchers from across Canada. This text examines the web of interactions that influence culture, economy and the sustainability of the natural environment.

The common theme throughout this text is the need to link research to management, policy, and the real-world needs of First Nation communities. Today&#x2019;s forest managers must now consider the social and political context of land use, value systems and expectations, and emerging rights-based issues involving Aboriginal peoples."--pub. desc.
