Show moreWhat is the best way to achieve and sustain clarity of First Nations territorial jurisdiction in British Columbia (BC)? The question is critical to addressing the legal imperative of Indigenous-Crown reconciliation; that is, balancing the rights of Indigenous peoples with the interests of society as a whole through negotiation. Reconciliation requires dialog, and effective dialog is almost impossible amidst conflict concerning which Indigenous polities have legal authority to negotiate concerning specific territories. This dissertation argues that hybrid law – involving the harmonization of state and Indigenous legal systems – should be the basis of common understanding and legitimacy for determining which Indigenous polities have legal authority to negotiate concerning areas subject to “overlapping claims”. Drawing upon the experiences of BC, New Zealand, and Australia, the study concludes that First Nations and the Crown in BC should work collaboratively to empower an independent Indigenous Territories Tribunal to oversee a program of regional inquiries across the province. Regional inquiries should involve: a) research, b) community hearings that empower Indigenous people to articulate their history and legal systems, c) assessments of the character and strength of claims, d) recommendations, and e) the development of Indigenous Jurisdiction Agreements that express complex Indigenous territorialities, hybrid law, and the Indigenous polities that have the legal authority to negotiate with the Crown concerning specific territories. Clarity of Indigenous territorial jurisdiction is a critical aspect of addressing the legal imperative of Indigenous-Crown reconciliation. This dissertation proposes a framework for achieving a geography of reconciliation: that is, an exhaustive map of BC that clearly communicates which First Nation polities have legal authority to negotiate where.

Show moreAs part of the Interdisciplinary Studies program, I have created a thesis on traditional environmental sustainability and ways we can practice stewardship in the housing system on reserves. Given that ecological sustainability is also vital for sustainable culture, health, and spirituality, it is becoming a priority for many nations. I am going to put the argument forward to start implementing sustainable values into reserve homes in modern ways to help heal mother earth, but also to improve our connections to her as we modify or tear down these literal colonial structures to make room for more awareness of the environment within our homes. I examine the current state of housing in Indigenous communities, examine current usage of sustainable building practices, and explain how a larger adoption of sustainable building practices will both combat housing problems and help live better in tune to traditional teachings. The housing problems on reserves continues to be a major issue with no clear solution; I believe this needs to be addressed with more creative ideas to increase the well being of Indigenous peoples.This paper shows that other options are possible for hosing in BC that can provide a better relationship with the earth and can be done using the natural and human resources within the community.

Show moreRunning was a traditional role to share messages among the Dakelh communities of northern British Columbia. This role has been lost due to colonialism. The injustices of colonialism have resulted in challenges for Indigenous peoples’ health and well-being. Despite colonialism, the benefits of running for the mind, body, and spirit remain. However, the role that running played in the spiritual health of Indigenous people has remained unexplored. This research is an autoethnographic study about myself and the role of running in my life. I am situating myself within my Dakelh cultural context. I use decolonizing and Indigenous methodologies as a foundation for my research, drawing on my own experiences to express my testimony about transformation. My data includes my personal reflective journals and an interview. I analyzed these two sets of data by situating my experiences within the context of my culture. The themes identified include: 1) Space for self-reflection and responding to the world around me, (2) Relationships and encouragement, (3) My connection to something greater, (4) Honour my life enough to love myself, and (5) Creating space to fully express myself. This research fills a gap in Indigenous specific literature because spiritual health is not widely discussed in the physical activity literature and the running literature connected to Indigenous people. This thesis concludes that running has proven beneficial to me through the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual areas of my health and well-being. Given the role that running has played in my transformation journey, I recommend more research that explores the role of running or other sports as processes for transformation of Indigenous people to explore the understandings of spirit as it relates to holistic health among Indigenous people living in Northern British Columbia.

Show moreThis report provides an overview of my practicum placement with a non-profit organization, Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS), in particular its Health and Wellness Program. Most of my placement was at Ormand Lake Cultural Healing Camp, known in Carrier language and within the Carrier nations as Choostl’o Bunk’ut. CSFS serves 11 Carrier First Nations bands in north central British Columbia. The objective of my practicum was to gain competency working with Indigenous peoples and their communities and to understand Indigenous wellness from the perspective of the Carrier people. Overall, this practicum helped me to explore my interest in Indigenous mental health and traditional healing. This report will discuss my experiences as a practicum student and will explore how culture can be used for healing in mental health. Several topics that emerged in relation to my practicum goals will be outlined, including ethics and boundaries, spirituality, clinical and alternative practice skills, and integrating Indigenous and Western approaches.

Show moreAlthough the language spoken by the Kwakiutl is distinct, it is derived from a much more inclusive linguistic stock known as Wakashan, to which also belong the previously mentioned Nootka people, as well as the Makah group of the Cape Flattery, State of Washington, area. There are three distinct groups among the Kwakiutl, corresponding roughly to three geographical divisions. Those who live in the region of Douglas Channel and Gardner Canal are called the Haisla; those whose habitat extends from Gardner Canal to Rivers Inlet, bounding the Bella Coola territory on either side, are the Heiltsuk, or Bella Bella; those living south of Rivers Inlet are known as the Kwakiutl proper.

Linguistically, the Bella Coola form an isolated island of Salish-speaking people separated from others of the same stock by tribes of Athapaskan and Kwakiutl lineage. Culturally, they belong to the central section of the North Pacific Coast area. Social Studies Bulletin Department of Education.

Show moreThis dissertation is about the history of my people, the Secwépemc. I treat the concept of history here as more than a chronological ordering of events in the lives of our people; my purpose is to construe the sense of history, or historical consciousness, of my people as it emerged during the last 10,000 years. Relying on multiple sources that include converging lines of evidence between geological, archaeological and oral history sources for the early period, and increasingly, written - explorers and traders - sources, and most importantly, my own ancestors' recorded narratives, I trace my people's motivations and interests in the unfolding of events, along with the meanings, from the vantage point of our culture, that we ought to employ to read such sources. Among the important stories that my people tell are the narratives that deal with our perception the early newcomers, and of missionaries and the new religion they were imposing on us. In addition, it is worthwhile to listen to the ways that my people reflected on the relationship with the Crown as it emerged in the late 1800s, and early 1900s. As I argue, such stories, ultimately, need to be connected to our sense of land, livelihood, title and autonomy as an Aboriginal Nation. Our people's stories, as I will show, defy the colonizers' attempts to separate us out into small portions of our land and livelihood, and bring back our sense of nationhood as a people, Secwépemc, connected to Secwépemcul'ecw, our land.

Show moreThe Interior Salish were, in pre-European times, one of the largest Indian groups in British Columbia and inhabited a much larger area than their coastal namesakes. From the apex of a rough triangle at the 54th parallel on the Alberta-British Columbia Border, their territory stretched southward well into the States of Washington and Idaho. Predominantly a hunting people, the Interior Salish had many lakes and inland waterways throughout their territory and consequently were also expert fishermen.

This was a particularly challenging task when it came to the problem of making clothing. In order to be comfortable during all seasons in their temperate climate, the Shuswap needed a wide variety of clothing. Most clothing was made from the hides of the same animals that were used as food.

Show moreThis is an annual report of the work of Simon Fraser University and the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society. "Ten years ago we began this venture in the former girl's dorm of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. We began with a couple of courses in sociology and anthropology, a few tables, chairs and a blackboard, most of all, what we started with was a lot of guts. On the part of Ron, Rita Jack, Gerald Etienne, Rick and other SCES board members, and myself, it was a vision to provide education to aboriginal people of the Interior and the courage to start and worry about money later. On the part of our 1st generation of students, it took courage to take courses in a brand new institute that was in this all too familiar place where they themselves or their mothers had slept. However, the name of SFU behind it all perhaps helped, or must have had something to offer for the students that came."

Show moreThompson Rivers University is located in traditional Shuswap and Cariboo territories and serves the constituent bands as well as neighbouring Nlaka'pamux, St'at'imc, Tsilhgot'in, and Metis nations in addition to many urban Aboriginals. As a consequence, the university has had a long history of involvement with First Nations' tribal councils, bands, and cultural and educational organizations. First as Cariboo College and later as the University College of the Cariboo, the institution has provided education and training services to thousands of both on-and off-campus First Nations and Aboriginal students over the past three decades. However, given its new status as a university, TRU has an opportunity - and an obligation - to forge yet closer links with its urban and rural Aboriginal communities and to develop its existing partnerships, programs, and services to better serve First Nations' communities, Aboriginal organizations and individuals as they work to meet their economic, educational and social goals.

Show moreThe Coast Salish Indians occupy an important position in the study of the native races of British Columbia. Despite the fact that they differ in many essentials from the groups of the north, in later times they have acquired so much of northern culture and are at the same time so closely connected with the Indians of the Interior that they are perhaps more typical of the native life of the Province than any other group. Not only did they occupy a large number of the islands of the Coast and thus have access to ideal fishing and hunting grounds, but they also had footholds far inland along the lower reaches of the Fraser River. Because of this wide dispersion throughout a diversified environment, they acquired a great variety of culture traits, and this characteristic has been further stimulated by contact with the northern peoples through the facilities of the maritime waterways.

Show moreThe Dene or Athapaskan Indians of British Columbia are only part of a widespread language group. From east to west, the largest continuous habitat of these people extends from the shores of Hudson Bay to the eastern boundary of the Alaska Panhandle. On the north they are found bordering the Arctic Eskimo, and on the south their boundary dips into Coast Salish territory in the neighbourhood of the 51st parallel of latitude. Other groups of the same language stock that became separated in very early times are to be found along the Pacific Coast in Northern California and the State of Washington, and also in the Southwestern United States, where they are known as Navajos and Apaches.

Show moreBefore the arrival of the first white men the Interior Salish Indians occupied the whole of the Thompson River drainage basin, and in addition extended eastwards to include a considerable part of the Columbia system, and to the northwest to encroach on the Fraser district. Most of the immediate Kamloops area belonged to the largest tribe, the Shuswap, while the Nicola valley was part of the Okanagan territory, and the upper North Thompson was Shinpoo land.
