Summary
The Gwich'in Land Use Planning Board is pleased to present the Gwich'in Land Use Plan, Nành Geenjit Gwitr'it T'igwaa'in - Working for the Land. The Plan has been created to ensure it conforms with the Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement and the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act. This plan for the Gwich'in Settlement Area is the result of 20 years of regional land use planning. When the interim Land Use Planning Board began work in 1993, the previous 10 years of effort of the Mackenzie Delta Beaufort Sea Land Use Planning Commission were considered. It then took six years to carefully evaluate and incorporate the views of communities, regional organisations, industrial interests, and government departments and agencies before the land use plan was ready to submit for approval. During the approval process of four years, refinements were made and issues of legislative conflict have been addressed. With the substantial participation from all the interest groups and the refinements made during the approval process, the Planning Board is proud of this integrated regional plan that balances resource development and use with conservation of the land and environment. ... The Plan is divided into 8 parts: 1. Introduction; 2. Information about the Gwich'in Settlement Area and its Resources; 3. Land Ownership, Regulation and Management; 4. Land Use Plan for the Future: Vision and Land Zoning; 5. Land Use Plan for the Future: Issues and Actions; 6. Procedures for Implementing the Land Use Plan; 7. Implementation Plan Outline; 8. Appendix A.]
