  • Native Perspectives on Sustainability: Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx)
    NPS: Armstrong 1 Native Perspectives on Sustainability: Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx) Interviewee: Jeanette Armstrong Interviewer: David E. Hall Date: 10/21/07 Transcribed: Brianna Finney DH: Thank you for taking your time with us today. As you know from our other conversations this project is about sustainability from the perspective of indigenous leaders and our aim is to hear from you on the subject today. JA: Okay DH: To start can you just share a little bit about yourself in terms of your background, cultural heritage, and your work? JA: My name is Jeannette Armstrong. My Okanagan Syilx name means something like the light, rippling off of moving water. It’s an image name. I come from the Okanagan, but my mother is from Kettle Falls at the Columbia River. The Okanagan River is the most northern area that the salmon reach in their spawn. I come from a people that were people that respected and loved salmon on the way to the Columbia. DH: So you mentioned some of the geography and the area that you are connected with. How would you define your community in terms of geography and people? JA: We’re Salishan peoples of the interior plateau. There are quite a number of Salishan tribes in the interior Columbia River Basin area, and we’re simply one of them. One of the things about the Okanagan is that, the Okanagan Lake System of course is quite a large lake system, and empties into the Okanagan River and meets the Columbia River at Brewster, Washington. So my Nation, the Okanagan Nation, is actually larger than the Okanagan valley and it was simply a name attributed to us because I guess the population of people in the Okanagan Valley was significant.

  • Okanagan Water Systems: an Historical Retrospect of Control, Domination and Change
    OKANAGAN WATER SYSTEMS: AN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT OF CONTROL, DOMINATION AND CHANGE by MARLOWE SAM B.A., The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2008 © Marlowe Sam, 2008 Abstract In this study, I examine the history of colonial control, domination, and change that began in the Interior Plateau region of British Columbia in 1811 when interaction between the Syilx (Okanagan) and European explorers first occurred. I focus on water use practices in particular, employing an indigenous Syilx approach (En’owkinwixw) in order to display the negative impacts of colonial policies on the Syilx and their environment. The En’owkinwixw methodology, which calls for the incorporation of multiple perspectives, is thousands of years old, but has been modified here from its original consensus-based decision-making process. The manner in which the U.S. government developed resource and water management policies in America’s arid Far West directly influenced the models that were later adopted by British Columbia and Canada. U.S. Supreme Court decisions along with a number of international treaties and trade agreements between the United States and Canada have also compromised the ability of the Syilx to maintain a sustainable and harmonious relationship with their environment. Depression era policies in the United States led to the implementation of large-scale projects such as the damming of the Columbia River that had further negative consequences on the environment of the Interior Plateau.

  • Oral Narratives, Customary Laws
    ORAL NARRATIVES, CUSTOMARY LAWS AND INDIGENOUS WATER RIGHTS IN CANADA by Marlowe Gregory Sam M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) (Indigenous Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2013 © Marlowe Gregory Sam, 2013 Abstract Prior to the European discovery and colonization of North America the Indigenous peoples managed their natural environment through a management regime that was guided by traditional governance systems that were based within the oral tradition. Since the assertion of European authority the water rights of indigenous peoples were subsequently diminished and infringed upon by colonial policies that derived from the doctrine of discovery. In the contemporary era the Supreme Court of Canada has determined that the priority water rights of Canada’s aboriginal peoples must be proven under the premise of European concepts of land ownership and entitlement. It is my intent to use the oral narratives of the Syilx (Okanagan) to provide evidence of the ancient customary laws and practices that guided the management practices over this natural resource. To substantiate the existence of the customary laws of indigenous peoples I use primary research gathered from Syilx (Okanagan) and Secwepemc (Shuswap) informants. Previously published and unpublished oral narratives that were recorded and transcribed during the twenty-first century will also be used in this inquiry. Prior to the arrival of Europeans a phenomenon of globalization greatly influenced the development of colonial policies and laws that in turn impacted modern day Supreme Court decisions in both the United States and Canada.

Furthermore, Indigenous claims to land can be seen in their connections via toponymy. European concepts of territory and political boundaries did not coincide with First Nation/American Indian views, resulting in the mistaken view that Natives did not have formal concepts of their territories. And Tribes/First Nations with cross-border territory have special jurisdictional problems. This paper illustrates how many Native residents were very spatially aware of their own lands, as well as neighboring nations’ lands, overlaps between groups, hunting territories, populations, and trade networks. Finally, the Sinixt First Nation serve as a perfect example Citation: Cole, D.G.; Hart, E.R.

  • Press Release Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation
    PRESS RELEASE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE COLVILLE RESERVATION Media Contact: Meghan Francis [email protected] For Immediate Release March 27, 2017 Historic Victory for Sinixt Hunter Claiming Aboriginal Right to Hunt in Canada Nelson, B.C. – In a landmark decision, the Provincial Court of British Columbia ruled today that Richard Desautel, a Sinixt descendant resident in the United States, has an aboriginal right to hunt in his traditional territory in Canada. In 2010, Mr. Desautel was charged with hunting elk as a non-resident, and without a licence, near Castlegar, B.C. He is a member of the Lakes or Sinixt tribe of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington State, and asserted a constitutionally protected right to hunt in Sinixt traditional territory in Canada. Sinixt territory stretches north from the Colville Reservation to the area in and around the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia. At a lengthy trial held over several weeks in the fall of 2016, considerable expert evidence was led concerning the history and movement of the Sinixt, who travelled, fished and hunted for centuries throughout their traditional territory on both sides of the border, following a seasonal round. In the latter part of the 19th century, owing to a number of forces, many Sinixt moved south of what is now the international border. Legislation was later introduced to specifically make it illegal for the Sinixt to hunt in Canada. And in 1956, despite having knowledge of Sinixt people living on both sides of the border, the Canadian government declared the Arrow Lakes Indian Band to be “extinct”, paving the way for hydroelectric development in the area.

I have used a Lucida Sans Unicode font throughout the work. The Lucida Sans Unicode font has been modified for the Okanagan Nsyilxcen alphabet. Nsyilxcen words, phrases and sentences are a necessary component of the work. The Lucida Sans Unicode font is modified to accommodate Nsyilxcen sounds on the English Standard keyboard. Some letters on the Okanagan Keyboard displaces some of the upper case font letters. As a result, for consistency Nsyilxcen is not capitalized as a standard. Except where ms word had the ability to autocorrect, Nsyilxcen words are in lower case. I have not adhered to the usual style of English grammar. Nsyilxcen is my primary language and English is a second language. Also important to me was the ability to maintain the structural qualities of the ―transition‖ English prevalent in Okanagan Syilx communities to allow greater accessibility to my community peers. The prose is closer to the structural qualities of Nsyilxcen. iii Table of Contents Preface iii 1.
