I would love to see these officers put this interpretation of the law that into a signed letter.


It is correct that a Non-treaty person may NOT be gifted or consume any meat taken under the authority of Treaty harvesting rights.

It is NOT correct that a non-treaty person has to remain locked up until after the kill has been made. Damn, that's funny!




Noin,

There has been an awful lot of incorrect interpretations of the law offered to you in this thread, some likely intentional, some likely through ignorance. Take what you have read on hear with a skeptical mindset, consider and confirm before accepting as correct. When consulting with government officials for legal opinion, ask for it in writing.

I am also glad to see that you have received some invites to go hunting.
It's good to hear that you desire to learn and be mentored in hunting as part of your lifestyle. This is the good life, on the Red Road.

Are you sure about that. Your telling me that It's illegal for me to go to my friends house on the reserve and eat what they serve me if it was killed under treaty authority?

As one who has limited associates, if you are in the home all will be good.

When ever I am invited and if it’s good nothing is remaining.

Fire.

"On the Reserve" is pertinent to this situation. You can legally eat the Treaty harvested wildlife dinner "On the Reserve" but you cannot take the dinner home with you "Off the Reserve". To be fully compliant with federal and provincial law you would have to excrete dinner before leaving the Reserve, unless you first obtained a federal permit to take dump the Wildlife at home, as is illegal for a non-Treaty Indian to remove virtually Anything (including ANY wildlife parts) from an Indian Reserve without Federal consent by permit (Indian Act).

So enjoy your friend's dinner and explain to him that you must stay on the Reserve until you can leave the gift behind.


I'm not sure why officers are not trying to enforce this law.... seems to me the pertinent evidence would be easy to find...



You asked about eating wildlife on a Reserve, which is Federal jurisdiction.
Within Alberta provincial jurisdiction (each province has their own rules), it is illegal for a non Treaty person to be gifted (including eating a meal) any part of wildlife harvested under the Authority of the Indian Act. But it is perfectly legal for a Treaty person to be gifted wildlife harvest legally by a non-Treaty person....



The point being..... this whole thing is soooo f'ed up..... how about if we just get along, help each other out, and keep wildlife healthy..... Fire.

I am sorry to hear you are not able to have a relationship with your family so I welcome you to the Alberta Outdoorsmen Forum Family I understand what it is like to be lonely.
I just got into hunting again myself so I may not be the best mentor but I am open to options and or a new friend.
Where do you live friend?
