ABSTRACT This paper provides the first empirical estimate of the local economic impact of publicly funded research expenditures in the Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories of Canada between 2000 and 2009. The total dollar expenditures of northern research during this period was estimated to be $284 million and peaked in 2009 at close to $110 million. Using data acquired from major granting agencies in Canada and Statistics Canada multipliers, the economic impact of northern research on local income, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and employment impacts were estimated. It was determined that at its peak, northern research impacted the territorial GDP by 0.04%, income by 0.09% and employment by 0.11%. While the total economic impact of publicly funded research expendituers may be small relative to other northern industries, individual communities where the field research is conducted, may experience significant income, employment and other intangible benefits. The community of Old Crow is used to illustrate the potential community-level importance of local expenditures associated with northern research.

ABSTRACT Aboriginal peoples are increasingly being invited to participate in sustainable forest management processes as a means of including their knowledge, values, and concerns. However, it is justifiable to ask if this participation does lead to changes in forest management plans and to outcomes in management activities. We review four forest management plans over 10 years (1999–2009) in Labrador, Canada, to determine if increasing involvement by the Aboriginal Innu Nation has led to changes in plan content. We also compare these plans with three plans from another forest management district where there is no Innu presence and with two provincial forest strategies . Analysis shows that Labrador plans prepared since 2000, when the Innu and the provincial government established a collaborative process, are different from all other plans reviewed. Four principal characteristics distinguish these plans: a structure based around ecological, cultural, and economic landscapes, a network of cultural and ecological protected areas, increased attention to social and cultural values, and greater emphasis on research and monitoring. This suggests that Innu involvement has in fact influenced the contents of these plans, developing an innovative approach to implementing ecosystem management and demonstrating the utility of involving Aboriginal peoples in forest management planning processes.

Over the past several decades a growing interest has emerged in the relationship between forest dependent communities and their use of non-timber forest resources (NTFR—i.e. berries, roots, barks). Motivated in large part by international concerns over the loss of biological and cultural diversity, efforts are now being made to conserve the world's remaining forests by repositioning NTFR to the forefront of the forest management process. Together with the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation, we have undertaken an assessment that: 1) addresses the role of NTFR in fulfilling basic human necessities and well-being of community members, and 2) identifies the perceptual differences that exist among First Nation and non-First Nation community members regarding the security and future availability of forest resources. Based on our findings, we argue that if the true value of the forest is to be understood, and thus sustained, those involved in management must consider the full array of products and services the forest provides. Thus the conventional and over-simplified view that the forest is to provide primarily for commercial timber must be challenged in light of the multiplicity of values community members gain from forest use.

Used in the discourse of sustainability, advocates of community-based resource management often depict indigenous communities as homogeneous sites of social consensus. While proving successful at advancing local involvement in the management and decision-making process these idealized images fail to represent the plurality of values and personal interests nested within indigenous communities. Thus by failing to account for internal diversity, indigenous
