Oil and gas extraction has transformed Anishinaabe society in ways that undermine the consensual, holistic, and egalitarian basis of natural law. To many Indigenous people, framing fossil fuels and other energy sources as “natural resources” does not accurately define energy projects or capture related risks. Some Anishinaabe pipeline opponents have suggested that traditional harvesting protocols—culturally embedded moral precepts that govern the gathering of food and medicinal plants—also be applied to activities that produce energy. This paper explores how this could be done, focusing on tar sands extraction and the Line 3 expansion plan. I begin by discussing Anishinaabe harvesting protocols, identifying four overlapping key concepts: rights, responsibility, relationality, and reciprocity. These principles are then mapped onto Anishinaabe understandings of oil, hydro, wind, and solar energy. The resulting analysis challenges extractivist narratives of energy production, opening possibilities to rethink the relationship between people and energy as well as the values that inform energy decisions.

瓜瓜：将Anishinaabe收获协议应用于能源治理

石油和天然气开采以破坏自然法则的共识，整体和平等主义基础的方式改变了安尼西那比社会。对于许多土著人民而言，将化石燃料和其他能源构筑为“自然资源”并不能准确地定义能源项目或捕获相关风险。一些Anishinaabe管道的反对者建议，传统的收割协议（控制食物和药用植物收集的文化内在道德准则）也可用于产生能量的活动。本文探讨了如何做到这一点，重点关注沥青砂的提取和3号线的扩建计划。我首先讨论Anishinaabe采伐协议，确定四个重叠的关键概念：权利，责任，关系和对等。然后将这些原理映射到Anishinaabe对石油，水力，风能和太阳能的理解。由此产生的分析挑战了能源生产的提取主义叙述，为重新思考人与能源之间的关系以及为能源决策提供依据的价值提供了可能性。
