    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

Background As you are aware, the Project will unjustifiably infringe upon and visit long-term and irreparable impacts to Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s (TWN) Aboriginal title, rights, and interests. TWN maintains the position that even if concerns that fall within provincial jurisdiction are addressed in this process, they will not address the very serious concerns that TWN has regarding the impacts to, and unjustified infringements of, TWN’s Aboriginal title and rights identified in TWN’s independent Trans Mountain Assessment Report, and in the expert reports and documents that TWN has filed with the National Energy Board and Canada during two rounds of Phase III consultation. TWN’s Trans Mountain Assessment Report is available online at www.twnsacredtrust.ca/assessment-report-download/. Moreover, TWN maintains its position that the provincial Ministers’ decision to issue the Environmental Assessment certificate (EAC) is an unjustified infringement of TWN’s Aboriginal title and rights.

    FILMING A MAKAH VILLAGE FOR JIM JARMUSCH' S DEAD MAN by TODD J. TUBUTIS BA. (honours), Beloit College, 1992 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Anthropology & Sociology We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard: V THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 1998 ©Todd J. Tubutis, 1998 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 6 August 1998 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis looks at ethnographic film using Jim Jarmusch's 1996 Dead Man as a "site." Dead Man's penultimate scene portrays a Northwest Coast village using Makah actors and Makah- made set pieces. The production of this scene provides a setting where mainstream American culture, represented by a Hollywood film crew, comes into contact with Makah culture in a collaborative filmmaking effort, making Dead Man a site of cultural negotiation and mediation. By contextualizing Dead Man with earlier films from the Northwest Coast by Edward S. Curtis and Franz Boas, by examining the film's production through the words of the participants, and by incorporating theoretical notions of contact zones, authenticity, and experience, the author gleans an understanding of the contemporary Makah experience of Dead Man.
