Exploring the Egg Lake /?Eghés tu Landscape and the Lake One Trail A Collaboration with Knowledge Holders in Wood Buffalo National Park

Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP), renowned for its wildlife and natural heritage, harbors significant cultural heritage that has remained underrecognized. A collaborative study involving Cree and Chipewyan knowledge holders and a Parks Canada archaeologist reveals the profound cultural significance of traditional trails within the park, such as the Lake One Trail. This research demonstrates that Aboriginal cultural landscapes are equally vital to WBNP's identity as its natural values. By documenting the trail's cultural meanings and stories, the study proposes a framework for revising UNESCO's commemorative statement to better reflect this dual heritage.
