The meeting is in English and Wiilliideh. The original source item is side B of a 120 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items 0047A, 0048A, and 0048B. Presenters are Ron Graf, Raymond Bourget, and Ernie Campbell. The recording starts with discussion following the presentation of the proposed Species at Risk Act. The presenter adds some additional remarks about woodland caribou and other animals of special concern. Comments are made about getting tags for buffalo, numbers of caribou tags issued, poaching, hiring people from Ndilo and Dettah to monitor the winter road, animals of special concern to the YKDFN (caribou, muskrat, some fish, some ducks), plans for a picture book on diseased animals for education purposes, and concerns about medicinal plants. Reponses are made by the RWED staff who suggest questionable animals be brought in for testing and that more frequent meetings are held to address areas of concern. There is a reminder about the meeting the following evening and another request for feedback. The recording continues with the meeting the following evening. There is an explanation of available literature and questionnaires. The meeting continues with presentation on the new Wildlife Act, including reasons for revision, improving consultation, use of traditional knowledge, what it applies to, licencing (General Hunting Licences, beneficiary cards, non-resident and resident Indigenous people, residency requirements), hunter training, outfitting, guide certification, buddy hunting, and tags and quotas. There are comments and statements made in Wiiliideh, which are not translated on the tape.
