Through the Scientific Panel Planning process, First Nations in Clayoquot Sound have had the opportunity to identify and map their culturally significant areas in order to ensure their protection in forest management activities. In this study, individuals involved in forest management from government, industry, and First Nations sectors were interviewed to measure the success of this undertaking. It was found that despite many challenges, First Nations cultural values mapping in Clayoquot Sound has been beneficial for all parties involved in forest management. Key benefits has been an improvement in consultation effectiveness for all parties, and increased confidence among First Nations that their values are being protected. Funding should be provided to allow this process to be completed for the remainder of the landbase. Key words: First Nations, cultural values mapping, British Columbia, Nuu-chah-nulth
