"In the fall of 1995 the Kluane First Nation hosted a meeting in Burwarsh Landing to express its concerns over declining populations of Dall sheep in the nearby Ruby and Nisling mountain ranges. This meeting led directly to the creation of the Ruby Ridge Sheep Steering Committee (RRSSC)" (pp. 149–50). In lieu of the formation of a Renewable Resources Council for the traditional territory of the Kluane First Nation, something awaiting a final agreement between the Yukon territorial government, the Canadian federal government, and the Kluane First Nation, the RRSSC was an ad hoc issue-specific co-management board established to address sheep management. The committee included representatives of Kluane First Nation, Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, the Yukon Department of Renewable Resources, the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Parks Canada, the Alsek Renewable Resources Council, the Yukon Conservation Society, the Yukon Chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, local big game outfitters, and anthropologist Paul Nadasdy, as a knowledgeable observer. |
