Smith briefly reviews theoretical and methodological challenges of measuring "success" in the unique context of Aboriginal rights and participation in the forest sector. This is used as a basis for outlining a framework containing criteria for assessing forest-based development initiatives. The framework promotes an outcome of well-being and satisfaction by situating the four pillars of sustainable development (environmental, economic, social, and cultural) on a foundation of Aboriginal rights and institutional development. |

Krcmar, E., G.C. van Kooten, H. Nelson, I. Vertinsky, and J. Webb. 2006. The Little Red River Cree Nation's forest management strategies under a changing forest policy. The Forestry Chronicle 82(4): 529-537 |
| |
"In this study, we explore alternative strategies available to the Little Red River Cree Nations for meeting their projected socio-economic needs using the natural resources to which they have access. We analyze outcomes from mathematical programming models for various forest policy regimes, ranging from current sustained-yield management to sustainable forest management. The potential outcomes of the two approaches are analyzed using financial returns, harvest volumes and ecological impoacts. Results indicate that decision-makers face significant trade-offs in determining an appropriate management strategy for the forest lands they control. Our main conclusion is that economic development strategies for First Nations must diversify away from forest resources in the long run if they are to be successful." (Abstract) |
