Final Report Squamish Forest District AOA Millennia Research 4 July 30, J997 Management Summary In January of 1996 Millennia Research was contracted to conduct an Archaeological Overview Assessment (AOA) ofthe Squamish Forest District (Archaeology Branch Permits 1997-085, 1997-112, 1997-119; Squamish Nation Permit 1996-12). In conjunction with Timberline Forestry Consultants, Millennia produced a model and a series of I:20,000 scale potential maps which delineate areas ofarchaeological potential within the boundaries ofthe Squamish Forest District. The model used to produce the potential polygons for each site type (habitation, rock art, sub-alpine camp and culturally modified tree [CMT]) was based upon sets of variables which were determined to be consistent for a particular site type (i.e. habitation sites are likely to be located close to water on a relatively flat piece ofland etc.). All variables for each site-type model were loaded into the GIS and, using TRIM data, topographic and elevation information, the GIS produced maps which detail polygons of high and moderate potential. Low potential areas are considered to be all those not differentiated as moderate or high. Following the application ofthe original model, base-line data in the form of recorded (at the Archaeology Branch) and known (to the First Nations) sites were used to test the model. Initial analysis revealed that a majority ofthe recorded and known sites were not being caught in archaeological potential polygons. Consequently, model variable parameters were adjusted and reapplied in order to ensure that the majority ofknown sites were caught and also to increase the chance that similar, unrecorded sites would be caught. In-field testing ofthe model revealed that the GIS generated potential maps closely predicted the landscape and delineate areas ofarchaeological potential. However, the field tests provided some data upon which refinements for individual models were made. Particularly it was shown that the slope from TRIM maps was too generalized for the Rock Art Model and therefore this model was abandoned. The Squamish AOA has resulted in a series ofmaps which delineate areas of archaeological potential. The final maps are labelled as high, medium or low potential. It is recommended that all areas identified as high potential for archaeological sites be subject to an AlA and areas ofmoderate potential a RECCE. Although not required, it is strongly recommended that RECCEs be conducted under an Archaeology Branch permit so as to maintain a standard methodological approach and quality results. Minimum methodological requirements for both AlAs and RECCEs are presented in the recommendations section ofthis report. Areas defined as high or moderate potential for CMTs only can be subjected to an CMT Inventory as opposed to an AlA or RECCE. CMT inventories can be conducted by forestry personnel and/or First Nations individuals trained in CMT identification and recording.

  • Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’S Package
    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.

  • Erasing Indigenous Indigeneity in Vancouver
    Erasing Indigenous Indigeneity in Vancouver J EAN BARMAN1 anada has become increasingly urban. More and more people choose to live in cities and towns. Under a fifth did so in 1871, according to the first census to be held after Canada C 1867 1901 was formed in . The proportion surpassed a third by , was over half by 1951, and reached 80 percent by 2001.2 Urbanization has not benefited Canadians in equal measure. The most adversely affected have been indigenous peoples. Two reasons intersect: first, the reserves confining those deemed to be status Indians are scattered across the country, meaning lives are increasingly isolated from a fairly concentrated urban mainstream; and second, the handful of reserves in more densely populated areas early on became coveted by newcomers, who sought to wrest them away by licit or illicit means. The pressure became so great that in 1911 the federal government passed legislation making it possible to do so. This article focuses on the second of these two reasons. The city we know as Vancouver is a relatively late creation, originating in 1886 as the western terminus of the transcontinental rail line. Until then, Burrard Inlet, on whose south shore Vancouver sits, was home to a handful of newcomers alongside Squamish and Musqueam peoples who used the area’s resources for sustenance. A hundred and twenty years later, apart from the hidden-away Musqueam Reserve, that indigenous presence has disappeared. 1 This article originated as a paper presented to the Canadian Historical Association, May 2007. I am grateful to all those who commented on it and to Robert A.J.

  • Miners' Meetings and Mining Boards: the Development of Mining Law In
    Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills A Thesis in The Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2016 © Thomas Oscar Mills, 2016 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Thomas Oscar Mills Entitled: Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski Chair Dr. Eric H. Reiter Examiner Dr. Gavin Taylor Examiner Dr. Wilson Chacko Jacob Supervisor Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date Abstract Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills Miners’ meetings were a customary legal practice from California that was imported to British Columbia during the Fraser River gold rush (1858). To date, there has been limited recognition of this practice’s influence on the development of British Columbia. The historical works that do exist on the subject argue that the practice was not established in the colony owing to the Colonial Government’s allowance for Mining Boards, a representative institution, by The Gold Fields Act, 1859. To the contrary, this thesis looks at the different ways that miners’ meetings and miners’ customary law were expressed and adapted to conditions in British Columbia before and after the passing of The Gold Fields Act, 1859.

  • Birken Buddhist Forest MONASTERY: Asian Migration, the Creative Class, and Cultural Transformation in the New Pacific British Columbia
    Birken Buddhist Forest MONASTERY: Asian Migration, the Creative Class, and Cultural Transformation in the New Pacific British Columbia Luke Clossey and Karen Ferguson* ne night in the mid-1990s police and ambulance responded to a medical emergency at a broken-down shack on the road between Mount Currie and D’Arcy in the Birkenhead Valley Onear Pemberton, two hundred kilometres north of Vancouver in the Coast Mountain range. Bumping their heads against the low doorframe, they were surprised to find inside a collapsed neighbour from down the road being tended to by a dozen young Thai women, a thirty-year-old German man, and a Canadian in his early forties. The men were wearing ochre robes and were bald, beardless, and eyebrow-less. This was Birken Forest Monastery. The Canadian was Venerable (Ven.) Sona (né Tom West), a Buddhist monk born and brought up mostly in the suburbs of Vancouver but now following the orthodox Thai forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. In June1994 , he travelled from the Sri Lankan Buddhist Vihara Society (BVS) temple in Surrey, BC, to a cluster of unwinterized, off-grid shacks on the gold rush–era Pemberton Portage Road near Pemberton. There, along with his German-born fellow monk, Ven. Piyadhammo, he succeeded in establishing only the second North American foothold of the Thai forest tradition founded by a non-Asian monk.1 This tradition has since spread globally to become one of the most successful Theravada monastic orders outside Asia, particularly among non-Asian converts. * We’re grateful to our research participants for their generosity in sharing their memories with us.

The project also updated the Natural Resources Canada website and map of fatal avalanche incidents. Avalanches have been responsible for at least 702 fatalities in Canada since the earliest recorded incident in 1782. Sixty-one percent of these fatalities occurred in British Columbia, with 13% in Alberta, 11% in Quebec and 10% in Newfoundland and Labrador. The remainder occurred in Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut Territories. Fifty-three percent of the fatalities were people engaged in recreational activities, while 18% were people in or near buildings, 16% were travelling or working on transportation corridors and 8% were working in resource industries.

Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.
