SUMMARY:Impacts of oil sands extraction on Aboriginal communities in northe
 rn Alberta
DESCRIPTION:Conférence prononcée par Clinton Westman\, assistant professo
 r in Department of Archaeology and Anthropology\, University of Saskatchew
 anRésumé : I will provide background on current political and scientifi
 c debates and processes in Alberta's oil sands zone\, with a focus on issu
 es and impacts most relevant to Aboriginal communities in the region. Meth
 odologically\, I am drawing on ethnographic fieldwork experience in the re
 gion\, policy and media analysis\, and intensive study of 10 impact assess
 ment documents for major oil sands projects. Analysis of impact assessment
  documents allows for both synthesis of speech data from impacted elders\,
  hunters\, and trappers\, and analysis of the corporate/consulting metadis
 course that shapes these public documents. I assert that impact assessment
  documents and consultation processes tend to minimize or even undermine i
 nformants' discussion of subjective and objective impacts\, while focusing
  on the inevitability of energy development. I will draw conclusions about
  the effectiveness of existing environmental assessment processes\, the ro
 le of social science in impact assessment and consultation\, and the effec
 ts of recent changes in Canada's laws and policies on environmental assess
 ment.Conférence prononcée en anglais\, aucune réservation nécessaire -
