  • First Nations people & all remote communities

    The circumstances of people who both subsistance hunt and live close to potentially infected wildlife are unique.

    How will a pandemic impact their lives and their interaction with the creatures around them?

    Glad you started this thread Alaska Denise.

    Since it is the time of the returns of migratory birds from the south and the West and the East, so it is traditionnally the beginning of hunting in the northern hemisphere.

    I think we need to post the warnings that was sent by the Boreal governments.

    Thank you AD

      On Oct. 31 2005, Canadian officials reported that 28 ducks from Quebec and five ducks from Manitoba tested positive for an H5 avian influenza virus. However, it is important to recognize that H5 forms of avian influenza occur naturally in wild birds and typically pose no health threats to humans. Final laboratory results are pending, but these birds were healthy and were the only individuals to test positive in a sample of 4,800 wild birds. The Public Health Agency of Canada has determined that there is no information in these findings suggesting a new threat to human health.
