Yeah, I'm not sure what the solution to this is. Wouldn't traditional hunter/gatherers have moved once resources were depleted or sustaining a lifestyle became unmanageable? I guess the argument could be made that they could traditionally return to their ancestral grounds in the summer, but what's stopping that from happening now? If the land is undesirable then maybe make a deal with the Canadian government to protect it, and then look at relocating the community, but still allowing them some level of autonomy.
