Default Can you build fires and camp in Natural Areas while hunting?

Im thinking of hunting in a Natural area, would like to know if I am allowed to build a small fire and even stay overnight.

I got right of access to natural areas at all times of the year being aboriginal for traditional purposes but I wonder if that includes also actually living out there overnight.

Constitutionally acknowledged, I have the inherent right to gather edibles trap, fish and hunt on all lands where right of access is granted (crown land, natural areas, some national parks under certain circumstances, private lands with permission etc.etc..) at all times of the year.

Is a campfire and overnight stay a given under those acts as something that you may need to do at times?

Hunting is permitted in most natural areas. There are some where hunting is not permitted. Some you can only bow hunt in. In my experience, you cannot camp or make fires on them. Ethnicity does not provide for any special access or use. http://www.albertaparks.ca/albertapa...natural-areas/

First nations use there is sustenance harvesting rights for those lands, I just wanted to know if I can build fires on them, I know a few natural areas you cannot hunt on them.

Default Native harvest

In initial post trapping was mentioned, You may trap to eat that animal but not to sell the fur.

Default Campfire in Natural Area

Natural areas regs (following link from CNP) don't seem to mention fire outside of fire-ban conditions that would be more regional. Now I'm curious too, but I would not have given it much thought unless a fire-ban were in place.
