  • Acknowledgment of Traditional Territory in Delta School District
    Acknowledgment of Traditional Territory in the Delta School District A Protocol Guide for School District #37 (Delta) Indigenous Education Department - November 2017 INDIGENOUS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - SCHOOL DISTRICT #37 (DELTA) "1 Why do we Acknowledge Territory? When opening an important event or function, we acknowledge the traditional territory of the local Indigenous people (First Nation, Métis or Inuit) who have occupied this land since time immemorial. The Tsawwassen First Nation signed British Columbia’s first Urban Land Treaty in 2009. The Musqueam Indian Band has 150 acres of territory in Ladner. We respect all of the Indigenous people who have not ceded the land in Delta nor have had any treaties signed. How do we Acknowledge Territory? Any school district staff can acknowledge the traditional territory. Only the Indigenous people who live on that territory or are originally from the territory would welcome people. The host of the event is the person to acknowledge the territory. It is not necessary to have an Indigenous person from the territory do this. For larger, more formal events, it is proper protocol to have an Elder or designate from the host Nation to perform an Opening or a Welcome, if possible. Again, the host would acknowledge the territory and the Elder or designate would welcome the guests. Typically, an honorarium is given to the Elder for their time and their support. When would we acknowledge territory? It is performed at more formal functions such as: - Assemblies - Board Meetings - Important meetings or presentations - Graduations - Awards nights - Opening new facilities - Celebrations which include Indigenous communities What is the proper order of acknowledging territory and people? 1.

  • Sustainable Vision in the Salish Sea: Cumulative Impacts and Long-Term Trade
    UNDRIP 2020 Final Report Salish Sea Panel Notes Sustainable Vision in the Salish Sea: Cumulative Impacts and Long-term Trade A Special Report from The Declaration: Finding the Path to Shared Prosperity By Vanessa Scott January 28, 2020 On January 14, 2020, The Declaration convened a historic event on Indigenous rights and our shared future that was unlike any other event before it. Rather than ending on the fact that Indigenous rights must be translated into action, this is where the dialogue started. How do we achieve historic transformations in all our communities and act on the principles of UNDRIP? Led by Indigenous voices from across British Columbia and the Salish Sea, this convergence on the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was the first major event to dive so deeply into this critically important and timely issue. For the first time in Canadian history, British Columbia has become the first jurisdiction to pass legislation that commits our provincial government to bringing all of its laws and policies into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The event agenda showcased the full range of respect and vision, success stories and challenges from which we can all learn to do better going forward. This is our first Special Report from UNDRIP 2020: an in-depth feature on the signature discussion panel, Sustainable Vision, Cumulative Effects and Long-term Trade in the Salish Sea. This discussion among three First Nations, whose traditional territories all lie on the Salish Sea, explores how BC’s Bill 41 (the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act or DRIPA) will be experienced in this culturally significant zone.

  • Tsawassen Ethnography Notes
    Roberts Bank Archaeological Overview Assessment and Archaeological Impact Assessment Permit 2004-100 Prepared for: Vancouver Port Authority 2700 Granville Square, 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2P9 In partial fulfilment of: Permit 2004-100 By: Millennia Research Limited 510 Alpha Street Victoria, BC V8Z 1B2 (250) 360-0919 November 13, 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Millennia Research Limited was contracted by Vancouver Port Authority (VPA) to conduct an Archaeological Overview and Archaeological Impact Assessment for the Roberts Bank Deltaport Third Berth Expansion. The goal of this review is to provide the Roberts Bank Environmental Assessment Team with archaeological, historical, and traditional use information that will be instrumental in preparing the overall CEAA/BCEAA Environmental Assessment report for the project. This heritage review fulfils the requirements of a provincial Archaeological Overview Assessment and an Archaeological Impact Assessment as outlined in the BC Archaeological Impact Assessment Guidelines (British Columbia Archaeology Branch 1998). Three archaeological sites have been recorded in the vicinity of the proposed development area: DgRs-2, DgRs-9, and DgRs-11. None are in conflict. On the tidal flats crossed by the Roberts Bank causeway there is a high potential for the remains of very large sturgeon fish traps. These would take the form of rows of wooden stakes several hundred metres long. Ethnographic information suggests these traps were far out on the tidal flats. However, it is unlikely that these traps were as far out as the dredging and landfill comprising the Deltaport Third Berth. On land, there is potential for archaeological remains of campsites associated with fishing, travel, cranberry harvesting, water fowl harvesting, and game hunting; duck net poles and facilities, and fish traps and other forms of wet sites in the former slough and stream channels.
