Abstract

These Regulations provide for the management and protection of reindeer in the Northwest Territories. The Superintendent may divide a reserve into grazing allotments and may change or modify the boundaries of the allotments or reduce or increase the number of allotments (reg. 3). The Minister may enter into agreements with Eskimos or Indians or persons with Eskimo or Indian blood living the life of an Eskimo or Indian for the herding of reindeer that are the property of Her Majesty (reg 4). The Minister or any person authorized by him may issue the following licences: (a) Class 1-a licence to hunt reindeer; (b) Class 2-a licence to a reindeer owner for a grazing allotment within a reserve; (c) Class 3-a licence to transport by any means any reindeer or part thereof from a reserve. Except as authorized by licence, no person shall hunt reindeer (reg. 7). Various other prohibitions, relative also to trade in or exportation of reindeer, are introduced by regulations 8 to 15. Remaining provisions deal with marking of reindeers, round-ups of reindeers, and straying animals. (19 regulations)
