The rapidly expanding forest bioenergy sector in Canada promises to support low carbon energy options that also support economic development and Indigenous involvement. Little empirical research has been conducted on Indigenous participation in forest bioenergy in Canada, which points to the need for a nuanced and reliable knowledge base to foster innovation in bioenergy that will contribute to community and economic development. However, before empirical research can be conducted it is important to understand the issues that influence Indigenous participation in the bioenergy sector. We therefore look to and conduct a frame analysis of allied sectors to develop insights about the policy and participatory landscape in which forest bioenergy in Canada is situated. Our analysis illustrates that identities and perspectives linked to energy and forestry can be complex and can shift depending on how business is done around such projects. Strengths in the current state of knowledge include the breadth of research regarding participatory natural resource management in Canada, particularly with regard to northern and Indigenous communities and territorial lands. Our review indicates that even the emerging bioenergy literature that exists now, when paired with that of allied sectors, can help analysts understand and make sense of energy and energy-related issues.

建立土著生物能源伙伴关系

加拿大迅速发展的森林生物能源行业有望支持低碳能源选择，这些选择也支持经济发展和土著人民的参与。很少有关于加拿大土著人参与森林生物能源的实证研究，这表明需要细微而可靠的知识库来促进生物能源创新，从而有助于社区和经济发展。但是，在进行实证研究之前，重要的是要了解影响土著人参与生物能源领域的问题。因此，我们希望对相关部门进行调查并进行框架分析，以深入了解加拿大森林生物能源所处的政策和参与性景观。我们的分析表明，与能源和林业相关的身份和观点可能很复杂，并且会根据围绕此类项目开展业务的方式而变化。当前知识的优势包括在加拿大进行的有关参与性自然资源管理的研究广度，特别是在北部和土著社区以及领地方面。我们的评论表明，即使现在存在的新兴生物能源文献与相关部门的文献相结合，也可以帮助分析师理解并理解能源和与能源相关的问题。特别是在北部和土著社区以及领地方面。我们的评论表明，即使现在存在的新兴生物能源文献与相关部门的文献相结合，也可以帮助分析师理解并理解能源和与能源相关的问题。特别是在北部和土著社区和领地方面。我们的评论表明，即使现在存在的新兴生物能源文献与相关部门的文献相结合，也可以帮助分析师理解并理解能源和与能源相关的问题。
