THE IMPACT OF TREATY INDIAN HARVEST ON A MANITOBA MOOSE HERD
Abstract
Hunting of big game by Treaty Indians in Manitoba is governed by paragraph 13 of the Natural Resources transfer agreement. Presently, these people are permitted to hunt on unoccupied Crown land and other lands to which they have right of access for purposes of securing game for food. In some Game Hunting Areas of the Province, hunting by Treaty Indians appears to be one of the primary factors responsible for reduced moose populations. This paper discusses population trends, reproductive parameters, mortality factors and the suspected influence of Treaty Indians on the moose herd in Game Hunting Area 20.
