A new wildland park in northern Alberta will go a long way toward ensuring Indigenous people can keep up their traditional pursuits, a local First Nation said Tuesday.

"This is a strong environmental, ecological protection," said Melody Lepine of the Mikisew Cree First Nation. "It's really watershed focussed." 

The Alberta government announced on Tuesday the creation of Kitaskino Nuwenene Wildland Park, a 1,600-square-kilometre park that links and expands two previously announced parks buffering Wood Buffalo National Park.

The park comes after three energy companies — Cenovus, Imperial Oil and Teck Resources — returned oilsands leases to the government.
