Newtown Square, PA: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Northeastern Research Station: 81-87.This paper identifies and describes the patterns of use of the Chippewa National Forest (Minnesota) by Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe members; and, the use patterns of six national forests in northwest Montana by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The paper also identifies conflicts tribal members encounter while using the forests and makes recommendations regarding the management of national forests in light of tribal members' use of these lands. The implications from both study areas indicate that Forest Service managers should pay more attention to cooperative approaches, and potential co-management of forest resources that are near American Indian reservations. Managers need to be more sensitive to American Indians' uses and values associated with national forests and other protected lands that are close to reservations. They also need to be aware of the history of government and tribal relations, as well as tribal member traditional and historic uses of forests.enTaking Stock - Social ConstructsTaking Stock - Topical CategoriesTaking Stock - Wild RiceTaking Stock - Recreation & TourismTaking Stock - Land UseTaking Stock - Native & Tribal Land UseTaking Stock - Law, Legal Rights, TreatiesTaking Stock - ForestryTaking Stock - Native IssuesTaking Stock - EquityOjibweAmerican IndiansChippewa National ForestOutdoor recreationForestryForest managementFood gatheringArticle
