Historique

Les membres des Premières Nations du Canada entretiennent une relation spéciale avec les océans, les lacs et les rivières, lien ancré dans le fait que les membres des Premières Nations continuent de dépendre fortement des plans d’eau pour leur subsistance, y compris leur survie sociale, culturelle, économique et physique.

Stratégie nationale sur les pêches

La pêche constitue un élément essentiel de la relation que les Premières Nations entretiennent avec la terre et ses ressources. Elle fait partie intégrante de l’histoire, de la culture, de l’économie et, en fin de compte, de l’autosuffisance des Premières Nations.
