COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated. -

Prior to submitting the IRP to government, BC Hydro had conducted two rounds of consultation on the development of the IRP in 2011 and 2012. A summary of the input from First Nations during the two previous rounds of consultation and BC Hydro’s response is set out in Table 7-2 in Chapter 7 of the IRP. On August 23, 2013, the Minister of Energy and Mines (Minister) directed BC Hydro to undertake final consultation on the IRP before government considers its approval of the plan and to complete this consultation by October 18, 2013. The Minister further directed BC Hydro to submit the IRP to government by November 15, 2013. This report summarizes the consultation undertaken pursuant to the direction from the Minister and the comments received from First Nations, Tribal Councils and First Nations organizations. First Nations’ comments received during this last round of consultation (as well as First Nations’ input and feedback from previous round of consultation) have been considered by BC Hydro and informed the IRP that BC Hydro is re-submitting to government on November 15, 2013. The revised recommended actions were grouped in the following topic areas for the purpose of seeking comments: Supporting LNG, Conserving First, Managing Resources, Powering Tomorrow, and Preparing for the Unexpected. -
