This item consists of part three of a three-part consultation meeting (Phase 2) held October 22, 2001 between staff from the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (RWED) and the community of Snare Lake (Wekweeti) on proposed new wildlife legislation. The meeting is in English and Tlicho. The original source item is side A of a 120 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items 0030A and 0030B. Government representatives include Dean Clough Cluff, Ron Graf (Manager Wildlife and Fisheries), Raymond Bourget (North Slave Office), and Gord Bohnet. The discussion continues from the previous tape. The presenters provide possible explanations for increase in number of injured caribou and decreased number of wolves and provide additional information about the activities of the Wildlife Aboriginal Advisory Committee. A lengthy discussion about meat wastage follows and how outfitters are required to track meat left by hunters. A brief presentation is given by biologist Dean Clough on collaring animals, particularly caribou. He also asks for suggestions of studies that should be undertaken and talks about a check point set up on the winter road last year to survey non-commercial traffic. The community states again their desire to have the visitors stay overnight in future to allow more time for discussion. Finally, there is a brief presentation by Gord Bohnet about the community taking over the community freezer.
