Is that the official ATA explanation?
That explains the first sentence in the following paragraph but why bother notifying the Treaty 8 Trappers Association when non-Native traplines within their territory become vacant? Was there an explanation as to why that would happen?
"The memorandum ensures that the association has first right of refusal should an association member’s trapline become vacant. Additionally, Alberta will notify the association when non-member traplines become vacant within the territory of Treaty 8."
