Scenario Modeling / Negotiation SupportIn cooperation with Quebec our planning team is developing acomputer model to predict future wood supply under variousmanagement scenarios. This model will assist and supportnegotiations for the implementation of the IRMP by predicting the future forest condition expected to result from theimplementation of each strategy and test each strategy for itsability to ensure forest sustainability while ensuring thecontinuance of the Algonquin traditional activities over time.

Capacity BuildingRECOMMENDATIONS:
All Bands and/or Tribal Councils should review and formalize the role of their lands andresources technical units in their organization.
Or create such units in their organization.Institute an education program aimed atincreasing the awareness of managementinformation amongst First Nation leaders andcommunity members.
7/30/2019 Aboriginal Duties Info Collection Version 2 Apr 23 07 [Compatibility Mode]
45/48
Capacity BuildingRECOMMENDATIONS (continued):
Commission research to find a way of merging science and Indigenous Knowledge into a singlebody of land-resource management information.
First Nations should be funded to support theexpertise and collect the information they need.Ideally, they should have full in-house skill
compliments to use land-resource managementinformation.
7/30/2019 Aboriginal Duties Info Collection Version 2 Apr 23 07 [Compatibility Mode]
46/48
Capacity BuildingRECOMMENDATIONS (Continued):
If information sharing is as important as all parties say,a new assault should be made to resolve conflicts aboutconfidentiality, intellectual property, and appropriateuse. Realistic information sharing can then begin.
A strategic plan for the development of in-house datamanagement skills and technology should be createdand implemented as soon as possible by Bands, TribalCouncils.
A First Nations education strategy should be put inplace leading to qualifications and certification in landand resource data production.

ConclusionIf First Nations are to benefit from the legal
entitlements set out in the recent Haida , Taku and Delgamuukw decisions. Thenorganization, skill, knowledge and information
will be key to matching Crown and industry capacity.Bands and Tribal Councils will have to sort out
their respective roles and responsibilities in theshort, medium and long term.

Conclusion There is a burden of proof on First Nations to identify and assert their rights and interests until Aboriginaltitle is resolved. The Chief and Councils as electedofficials are primarily responsible for ensuring that acommunity does due diligence and makes best
