60% of the human population, 22 000, in the Taigan Plains is Aboriginal. Some Aboriginal languages that are spoken in this area are South Slavey, North Slavey, Tlicho, Chipewyan, Inuvialukton and Gwich'in. Most communities in the Taiga Plains Ecozone were changed due to water access. As a result, many are found in estuaries and ecologically rich valleys.
Only a few areas in the Taiga Plains are dominated by human activity. Most of the local economy is based on livelihood hunting, fishing and trapping. However, the economy does include a small amount of industrial activities such as petroleum extraction, mining and, in the upcoming years, forestry too.
Fossil fuel reserves in the Mackenzie Valley are being fully used at the Norman Wells oil field, which is Canada's fourth-largest producer and also at the Pointed Mountain. In conclusion, these are some of the many human activities in the Taiga Plains.
