3 Message from MMF P r e s i d e n t D a v i d Chartrand, on the Printing of the nd 2 Edition, Dear Metis Harvesters I want to thank all of you for supporting the Metis Harvesting Initiative and for standing solid and steadfast in protecting your Community and your Rights. nd At the time of publication of this 2 edition of the interim Metis Laws of the Harvest, we have reached the th 1,000 Metis Harvester Identification Card as part of our initiative. This is truly a significant high point in the history of the Metis Nation's Manitoba Metis Community.

4 As many of our Harvesters have said to me during our workshops, meetings and assemblies, the work that we are doing is not just about hunting, fishing, trapping, or gathering it's about self-government and selfdetermination. The work that we've accomplished together in a very short time is also about practicing the traditions of our Ancestors, making our own decisions, and creating our own future. Together we will ensure the Metis People continue to receive recognition and respect. Again, I want to thank you, our Elders, staff, volunteers, and our elected representatives on the MMF Board, and Local Executives who have made this initiative an outstanding success. Meeqwetch, David Chartrand President

5 Message from MMF President David Chartrand on the Printing of st the 1 Edition, Dear Harvester, On behalf of our Manitoba Metis Community, I am pleased to present the unprecedented first edition of our Interim Metis Laws of the Harvest. These interim laws build upon our rich cultural heritage and our longstanding commitment to our harvesting rights and our conservation responsibilities. Our Ancestors had unwritten and written rules, such as the historic Metis Laws of the Buffalo Hunt, and others. Today the Metis people continue to practice our traditions that have been passed from generation to generation. Carrying on the proud tradition of the Otipemisiwak, the independent ones, these interim laws will help

6 to ensure we can meet our obligations to our families now and in the future. Through further consultation we will continue to develop your Metis-made laws as part of our Metis Harvesting Initiative. Our Metis Nation s traditions, expressed in part by these interim laws, are crucial to protecting our future. Following the direction expressed by the Metis, these interim laws are intended to protect the wildlife, fish, and other resources upon which we depend. Together, we will protect our community, our environment, and our rights by implementing the principles and laws found in this booklet. I would like to thank all our Elders, volunteers, staff, and elected members of the Manitoba Metis Federation Board, who have worked hard to move our Metis Harvesting Initiative forward. I would also like to thank all those who contributed by providing valuable advice and clear direction. Meeqwetch, David Chartrand

7 Introduction to the Interim Metis Laws of the nd Harvest, 2 Edition. By Carl Chartrand, MMF Natural Resources Chair Dear Metis Harvester, I am pleased to present, on behalf of the Manitoba Metis nd Community, our Interim Metis Laws of the Harvest, 2 Edition. This edition represents the results of extensive consultation with our people including The Commission on the Metis Laws of the Hunt, two Elders conference, Local and Regional workshops, as well as the harvesting needs survey and harvest return surveys. Throughout our consultations with the Manitoba Metis Community, we continue to hear you say that along with rights comes responsibilities. Based on what we have heard in many informational sessions as well as the harvest needs survey and the harvest returns survey, we have developed guidelines to give Metis harvesters further clarity and promote discussion on harvest

8 rules. These laws and guidelines are subject to change and refinement with further consultations with the Manitoba Metis Community, at Local and Regional workshops and Annual General Assemblies, as well as the information gathered from future Harvester Return Surveys. I want to thank everyone who has participated in the nd creation of this Interim Metis Laws of the Harvest, 2 Edition. I also want to encourage Metis harvesters to continue to respect the cultural and conservation traditions of our Ancestors. Good luck in the upcoming harvesting year! Merci and thank you Carl Chartrand

9 Introduction to the Interim Metis Laws of the Harvest, 1st Edition by Darrel Deslauriers Past MMF Natural Resources Chair Dear Harvester, You have in your hands a milestone document in the history of the Metis Nation. This booklet is the product of the hard work, experience, and knowledge of literally thousands of Metis people across our province. The Interim Metis Laws of the Harvest are based on the results of the Commission on the Metis laws of the Harvest, the Elders Conference, the workshops, surveys, and much discussion amongst the Metis within Manitoba. We listened very carefully to what you said in these forums. The Principles and Laws of the Harvest that follow are intended to guide us in our Metis harvesting.

10 These laws, and related policies and procedures are subject to change. These laws are also intended to be the starting point for flexible and ongoing development of future Metis Laws of the Harvest. Future Metis-made rules will continue to be developed with further consultation at upcoming MMF Local and Regional workshops. These rules will reflect the traditions and aspirations of our Ancestors, our Manitoba Metis Community, and the Metis Nation within Manitoba. I want to thank everyone for their participation and assistance in making this an ongoing success. I look forward to seeing many of you again at the future workshops, and on the hunting trail. Good luck! Thank you, Darrel Deslauriers

11 nd What's New in this 2 Edition Since the creation of the First Edition, the MMF has completed additional Harvesting Workshops throughout the province with the Manitoba Metis Community and we also now have the results from the Harvester Return Survey. The Harvest Return Surveys and subsequent surveys will be published and made available when completed. Based on the Harvester Return Surveys as well as all the previous workshops, reports and 2004 Harvesting Needs Survey, we have created a table of Guidelines to Metis Harvesting. These guidelines are subject to change as we continue to consult with the Manitoba Metis Community. These guidelines are simply a summary of what Metis Harvesters have told us they need for their families as well as what they have actually taken during the previous harvesting season. We have made only minor editorial changes to the First Edition and the original document is here in its entirety. 1

12 Guidelines to Metis Harvesting During workshops and meetings the Metis people consistently said that when harvesting, do not waste food and take only what you need. Following these directions, these Guidelines are intended to share information about the average amounts needed and harvested by the Metis. The following three charts give the average amounts of wild foods Metis said they would use in the 2004 Harvesting Needs Survey and the amount they harvested during the season. This will be updated in future editions. The first column heading on each chart: MMF Harvesting Needs Survey Per Household, is the average amount of Big Game, Migratory and Upland Game Birds, or Fish that respondents indicated their family would normally harvest to feed their extended family households. The second column heading: MMF Harvesting Needs Survey per Harvester, is the average amount of Big Game, Migratory and Upland Game Birds, or Fish that each hunter/fisher would harvest to meet the needs of their extended family household. This column is derived by dividing the MMF Harvesting 2

13 Needs Survey per Household column by 2.15, (which is the average number of hunters/fishers per extended household, and then rounded up to the next whole number). The table heading: MMF Harvester Return Questionnaire Data Per Hunter/Fisher, is the average amount of Big Game, Migratory and Upland Game Birds, or Fish for each successful harvester of that specific game or fish.

14 Big-game: Footnotes on table: A. An average Extended Family Household consisting of 13 people and about 2 active harvesters. B. This total is not derived from the data listed in the column. The MMF Harvesting Needs Survey asked participants their total household need for all large game animals and this was the average calculated. C. This data is derived by dividing the MMF Harvesting Needs Survey Per Household column by 2.15 (average number of hunters per household), and rounding up to a whole number. D. This total is derived from the number of animals of the specific species divided by the number of hunters successful in harvesting said species. E. This total is derived from the total number of big game harvested divided by the number of successful hunters. There were 146 successful hunters in total. F. The amount for any given species is calculated for only those households that actually harvested and consumed that species. 4

Data is only from August 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 and therefore does not include the spring hunt. C. For the MMF Harvester Return Questionnaire, the geese were not broken down into categories therefore geese refers to all geese. D. The MMF Harvesting Needs Survey did not ask Metis about harvesting coots, snipe or sandhill crane. E. The MMF Harvesting Needs Survey did not break down grouse into categories. F. The MMF Harvesting Needs Survey did not ask Metis about harvesting gray partridge, ptarmigan/rock willow or wild turkey. G. The MMF Harvesting Needs Survey did not ask Metis the total average number of birds needed. H. This average is derived from the number of birds of the specific species divided by the number of hunters successful in harvesting said species. I. This total is derived from the number of birds harvested divided by the number of successful hunters. There were 125 successful hunters included in this sample. J. These averages include Metis Community Harvesters. 6

18 FISH: Footnotes on table: A. There was no question on the survey regarding fish consumption. The Commission on the Metis Laws of the Hunt identified a fish possession limit of 50 lbs. This did not specify if it was filleted, headless or round. B. This year s data is only from August 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 and therefore missing the spring and early summer and is not a complete sample. C. This average is derived from the weight of fish of the specific species divided by the number of fishers successful in harvesting said species. D. This total is derived from the total weight of fish harvested divided by the number of successful fishers. There were 174 successful fishers included in this sample. E. There was no identified harvested weight limit for other rough fish. 8

19 Principles 1. Metis harvesting and Metis harvest, for the purpose of the Interim Laws of the Harvest, means hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering for food and domestic use, including sharing, social and ceremonial purposes, of fish, big-game, small-game, furbearers, game-bird (upland and migratory), berries, mushrooms, medicinal and other plants including wild rice, and firewood. 2. Metis harvesting is a Metis right. This right is not subject to a provincial government draw system. 3. Along with our Metis rights come responsibilities to our community, and to our environment. Conservation has top priority. 4. Metis have harvesting access to resources equal to that of other Aboriginal Peoples. The Metis right to harvest has priority over non-aboriginal recreational and commercial harvesters. 5. Sharing the Metis harvest, through those ways traditionally used by the Metis Community, is a Metis right. This includes using designated community hunters to harvest for the disabled, elderly, and those unable to hunt. 9

20 6. To protect our rights, and to meet our responsibilities and obligations, the Metis people have identified four principle objectives to guide the implementation of our rights. These are implemented in the MMF Metis Harvesting Initiative and include: a. Metis Harvester Identification Registry and Cards. The cards identify Metis harvesters and prevent the fraudulent abuse of our Metis harvesting rights by non-metis. b. Metis Conservation Trust Fund. A trust fund was created to raise and distribute funds for local and regional Metis-directed conservation initiatives and to support and safeguard our section 35 rights. c. Metis Management System. The Metis Management System is Metis-developed and recognizes Metis rights and Metis jurisdiction. Management includes a yearly harvest survey and report. d. Metis Laws of the Harvest. Our Ancestors had our own unwritten and written rules such as the Laws of the Buffalo Hunt. The Metis people want Metismade common-sense rules to protect our rights and resources such as bag limits and restrictions during calving and spawning periods. 10

21 Laws 1. Exercising the Metis Right to harvest for food means Metis cannot sell their harvest. As currently required by federal or provincial regulations, all commercial use, either selling or buying, must be with a commercial permit or licensing agreement. 2. Subject to the requirements and exceptions in the attached Harvesting Quick Reference Guide, all Metis harvesters must possess a validated Metis Harvester Identification Card obtained through the Metis Harvester Identification Card Application Process. This Card must be validated annually for the period from st August 1 through to July 31st of the following year. To be validated, the Card must have a Metis Conservation Trust Fund Sticker for the applicable period. 3. In addition to the MMF Metis Harvester Identification Card and Metis Conservation Trust Fund Sticker, hunting of big game requires the appropriate management tags for reporting and conservation purposes. 11

22 4. Metis Harvesters must meet all health and safety regulations and requirements, including possessing all applicable federal and provincial firearms, vehicular, and boating safety and operating certificates and licenses. 5. Metis Harvesters may harvest year-round subject to Metis Regional decision-making, planning, and management considerations as enacted from time to time, and with the following exceptions: th a. No big game hunting from January 15 to July th 15. During the rest of the year, no hunting of female big game if animal is accompanied by offspring under one-year old; b. No fishing by net during species-specific fish spawning seasons. c. No game-bird hunting during nesting. Spring game-bird hunting may take place during migration if before nesting. 6. Metis harvesters may engage in Metis harvesting throughout the Manitoba Metis Community's provincewide traditional harvesting territory on all unoccupied provincial Crown Lands in 12

23 Manitoba and occupied provincial Crown lands, including provincial parks, wherever First Nation Members are allowed to harvest; and on any privately owned lands in Manitoba on which that Metis Harvester has been given permission by the owner or occupant, or Indian Reserve lands with permission of Band Council. 7. There is a 50 pound possession limit on fish harvest. For game, as an interim measure until further Metis Laws of Harvest regarding bag limits are developed, use common sense, the guidelines provided in this booklet, our unwritten Metis traditional rules, or existing provincial bag limits. 8. Don't waste. Eat what you kill and if there are other uses for the animal, try to do that. 13

24 HARVESTING QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE The reference guide tables on the following pages are intended to help the Metis Harvester identify what requirements must be met if he or she intends to harvest various resources on the land. This guide may change. Identify the resource you want to harvest on the left hand column. You will notice there are separate lines for harvesters who are 18 years of age or older, 16 to 17 years, and 12 to 15 years. Please choose the applicable line and move to the boxes to the right to determine the requirements needed to harvest. For example, if you are over 18 and want to harvest deer, you would look under big game and follow the 18 or older row and would determine that you require an MMF Metis Harvester Identification Card, a Metis Conservation Trust Sticker, and a Management Tag or Tags. 14
