The Boreal Forest is one of the world’s largest landscapes; it is circumpolar, existing in the northern hemisphere across the globe and represents one third of the earth’s total forests.  For eons people have dwelt in the shade of these mighty forests of looming conifers and the hardiest of deciduous trees and they have learned that these forests yield invaluable resources.  From medicinal plants to animal food sources and building materials the Boreal provides all that is needed to the trained eye.  For centuries in Canada, as long as the Aboriginals have walked across this broad landscape and beneath the canopy of these vicarious forests they have utilized this bounty of natural resources to the fullest to the point where it has become deeply ingrained in their culture, not just traditionally, but spiritually as well.
