people. We would like to thank Dr. Stephen Tyler for his efforts in completing the
Ethical Review and also for his insightful editorial inputs. Jim Adams played a critical
role in administering the contract with the Nicola Similkameen Innovative Forest
Practices Society and provided direction throughout the project. Through the guidance

majority of the Nicola Tribal Association bands. The following representatives from
the Bands provided highly valuable information for this project: Chief Harold Aljam,
Chief David Walkem, Leonard Joe, Jean York, Philippe Badini, Lynne Jorgesen, Garry
Arnold, and Sean Swakum. The following NTFR businesses provided information on
their operations: Bob Meredeth, Doreen Hare, Don Murphy, and Terry Raymond. The
