1 Our Journey to a UNESCO World Heritage Site November 2010

2 This picture book is published by Pimachiowin Aki Corporation of Canada. It briefly explains some of the steps in our journey to a UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination. November

3 In June 2002 the leadership of Little Grand Rapids, Pauingassi, Poplar River and Pikangikum First Nations sign The Accord that sets out the vision for the World Heritage Site In 2004 The Government of Canada added the Pimachiowin Aki area to its list of tentative World Heritage Sites, signaling the launch of the World Heritage project. 2

4 The Accord The Protected Areas and First Nation Resource Stewardship: A Cooperative Relationship Accord (The Accord) acknowledges the Creator, who placed the people on the land and that all things come from the Creator as a gift human life, the land, everything that is living and non-living. The Accord sets out the shared vision for protecting and caring for the land and resources for survival and well-being. The vision incorporates the teachings and wisdom of the Elders. The Accord also invokes mutual respect and cooperation between the communities, with other First Nations, governments and the larger society. It says that, taken together, the respective initiatives of the First Nations to protect and care for the lands and resources represent a unique and internationally significant opportunity... 3

5 The Accord...Given the richness of traditional knowledge and First Nations territories as cultural landscapes, The Accord explains that the World Natural and Cultural Heritage designations provide a unique opportunity for the First Nations to cooperate with Canada and the international community. Simply put, The Accord establishes the fundamental vision for a proposed World Heritage Site. The next few pages provide additional information about this project, describing and illustrating some of the significant values of the Pimachiowin Aki area and introducing the members of the Pimachiowin Aki Corporation charged with developing the nomination bid. 4
