Indigenous peoples have specific hunting and fishing rights in Alberta.
The Government of Alberta is responsible for managing our province’s fish and wildlife resources. Alberta's highest priority is the conservation of fish and wildlife to sustain these resources for future generations.
In Alberta, Indigenous hunting and fishing rights are recognized in law and provincial government policy. The Government of Alberta is committed to sustaining Indigenous food sources within the constraints of conservation obligations.
Harvesting rights differ for Métis and First Nations people.
