Qalipu Chief Jenny Brake says, “For generations, both Beothuk and Mi’kmaq people have occupied Charlie’s Place."
Qalipu First Nation (QFN) and the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding around their common goal to protect and conserve a wilderness area near Gander. The area, known as Charlie’s Place, is 11,000 hectares of forested public land located between Northwest and Southwest Gander Rivers. It is recognized by both parties for its cultural and ecological significance. Chief Jenny Brake says, “For generations, both Beothuk and Mi’kmaq people have occupied Charlie’s Place. Our traditional land use spans thousands of years and we are highly motivated to continue to work collaboratively with partners such as the Nature Conservancy of Canada to support us in our conservation efforts for this special place and others across our traditional territory.” To learn more about Charlie’s Place and future plans, contact: Ian Sullivan, Director of Qalipu Environment and Natural Resources at tel. 709-634-0998 or email isullivan@qalipu.ca
