Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is an 8 page paper discussing the consideration for Canadian aboriginals in regards to environmental conservation in Canada. Within the last century in Canada, there has been little consideration for the environmental concerns and land claims proposed by the Canadian aboriginals. Part of reason for this could be that generally, as seen in the work of the Group of Seven, Canadian natives were not linked with the Canadian landscape. While some artists like Emily Carr depicted the disappearing ecology and native cultures the west, generally that work was not well received until recently. The disregard for native concerns continues in governmental and corporate policies administered today in which Canadian aboriginals have had to fight for the preservation of their homeland after industrial legislation has been granted to destroy it either by logging or fishing conflicts. While environmental groups often work hand in hand with the natives in regards to conservation, often times, they too conflict and disregard the aboriginal perspective. While there are some cases in which Canadian aboriginals have been successful in their fight to retain their land and conserve the environment, these struggles are still considered secondary to the desires of the provincial and federal governments and industry.

in which Canadian aboriginals have been successful in their fight to retain their land and conserve the environment, these struggles are still considered secondary to the desires of the provincial
and federal governments and industry. The organization "Friends of Clayoquot Sound" (FOCS) try to address and protect the environment involving the logging on Catface Mountain, Clayoquot Sound. From November 2000
to May 2001, International Forest Products (Interfor) began logging on the mountain and in that short space of time cut 53,000 cubic meters, the equivalent of 1,850 logging truck loads,
from the mountain. Since that time FOCS have taken a variety of initiatives to try and inform the public as to the environmental impact the logging has on the region
and campaigns in an attempt to curb ancient forest logging (FOCS). The FOCS negotiated for three years for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iisaak Forest Resources which is 51%
owned by the Clayoquot regions First Nations tribes and 49% by Weyerhaeuser Canada in order for Iisaak to commit to doing "small scale eco-forestry in already impacted areas and to
