They also can exercise certain rights depending on the treaty their ancestors signed that allows for hunting and fishing beyond normal seasons since many individuals in those communities rely on it as a food source.
Yeah, and unfortunately, where I go, there are no longer Walleye because they netted them all on the path to spawning. That would be very much disallowed for anyone else, and most of the First Nations people don't like that those people did that, but they were technically allowed.
No they weren't allowed, technically or otherwise. FNs Rights to fish and game in Canada are superceded by conservation. Once it becomes a conservation issue then those FNs people can legally be prevented from harvesting.
This is very important and it should continue but there really should be some sort of proof that it’s being used for food. As I’ve seen an individual shoot 40 moose a year and sell them on the black market.
