Une approche à deux voies de la remise en état collaborative

The research paper details a partnership between the Fort McKay First Nation, the Universities of Calgary and Waterloo, and the oil sands industry to address gaps in mine reclamation policies. It introduces the 'two-eyed approach' for intercultural governance, the 'Respect Cycle' as an ethical code for collaboration, and an 'Intercultural Closure and Reclamation Framework' consisting of six phases to ensure restored lands provide socio-economic, cultural, and environmental benefits. The document emphasizes that inclusive reclamation is a form of reconciliation and essential for an ethical energy transition in Canada.

• Current public policies and industry practices for oil sands mine closure often exclude Indigenous rights holders from the planning of their degraded traditional territories, particularly regarding social and cultural aspects.
• The 'two-eyed approach' is an intercultural governance model that allows Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners to maintain distinct cultural paradigms and knowledge systems while collaborating at key decision points.
• The 'Respect Cycle' is an Indigenous-led ethical code of conduct developed through traditional dialogue and storytelling to facilitate respectful and sincere intercultural communication between the Fort McKay First Nation, government agencies, and oil sands operators.
• The 'Intercultural Closure and Reclamation Framework' consists of six 'gateways' or phases: relationship development, harmonized visioning, traditional land-use tool design, joint plan elaboration, joint implementation, and joint monitoring/maintenance.
• For the Fort McKay First Nation, the restoration of vegetation, forests, and peatlands (muskeg) is viewed as a critical cultural measure and a means of mitigating climate risks, as muskeg acts as a filter and carbon sink.
• Inclusive reclamation practices, such as the two-eyed approach, are regarded by the Fort McKay First Nation as active gestures of reconciliation.
