BLACKSTOCK RHONDA MCALLISTER Abstract Although the First Nations Elders from the interior of southern British Columbia, Canada, recall times when grass was “belly-high to a horse,” today they worry about the deteriorated state of the grasslands. Using ethnographic and historical research methods, this paper documents recognized First Nations experts’ historical memory of the grasslands. Based on the ethnographic accounts, this paper also attempts to reconstruct the effects of colonization on the grassland ecology and First Nations culture. Secondary sources such as early settlers’ accounts and current grassland ecology research are used to augment the testimony of the experts. Two eras are described: 1) Pre-contact era (the three hundred years prior to contact); and 2) Post-contact era (1846-present). -
Spatial Distribution and Spawning Migration of Kokanee
SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND SPAWNING MIGRATION OF KOKANEE (Qncorhynchus nerka) IN NICOLA LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA by HAROLD WILLIAM LORZ B.Sc. University of British Columbia 1958 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Zoology We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1962 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 representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allo\\red uithout ray written permission. Department of Zoology The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 3, Canada. ABSTRACT Vertical distribution and onshore movement of maturing kokanee were studied by means of extensive gill net sets in Nicola Lake between 1958 and 1961. In late spring of 1959 maturing kokanee were found largely in the upper 30 feet of the lake but gradually dispersed to occupy all depths to 100 feet by mid-summer. A diel vertical migration occurred in which matur• ing kokanee moved surfaceward during the day and downward at night in 1959. In 1961 the reverse condition was observed wherein kokanee avoided areas of bright illumination during the day but moved surfaceward at night. No effect on vertical distribution of kokanee by extensive and rapid fluctua• tions of the thermocline, initiated by wind induced seiches, was noted in 1959 or 1961. -

Part 4: Floodplain, Riparian, & Lakeshore Regulations
Part 4: Floodplain, Riparian, & Lakeshore Regulations The following additional definitions apply only to Part 4.1 of this Bylaw: DESIGNATED FLOOD means a flood as determined in this Bylaw based on the probability that it may occur in any given year of such magnitude as to equal a flood having a 200-year recurrence interval; OR based on a frequency analysis of historic flood records; OR by regional analysis where no adequate stream flow data is available. DESIGNATED FLOOD LEVEL means the observed or calculated elevation for the designated flood, which is used in the calculation of the flood construction level. FLOOD CONSTRUCTION LEVEL means the designated flood level plus 0.6 metres freeboard; OR where a designated flood level cannot be determined, a specified height above a natural boundary, used to establish the elevation of the underside of a floor system of any area used for habitation, business or storage of goods damageable by floodwaters or in the case of a manufactured home, the ground level or top of the concrete or asphalt pad upon which a manufactured home rests. FLOODPLAIN SETBACK means the required minimum horizontal distance from the natural boundary of a watercourse, lake, or other body of water to any fill or structural support required to elevate a floor system supporting habitable space or pad above the flood construction level, so as to maintain a floodway and allow for potential land erosion. STANDARD DYKE means a dyke built to minimum crest elevation equal to the Flood Construction Level and meeting standards of design and construction approved by the Ministry of Environment and maintained by an ongoing authority such as a local government body. -
Boston Bar First Nation
Appendix B.4 – Boston Bar First Nation I - Background Information Boston Bar First Nation (Boston Bar) is part of the Nlaka’pamux (pronounced “Ing-khla-kap-muh”) people, whose asserted traditional territory encompasses part of south central British Columbia (BC) from the northern United States to north of Kamloops. Boston Bar holds 12 reserves situated in the watersheds of the Fraser River and adjacent small rivers, with a total registered population of 273 members as of July 2016. Boston Bar appears to have been part of the Lower Nlaka’pamux or Thompson people. Boston Bar members historically spoke Nłeʔkepmxcín, the language of the Nlaka’pamux language, which falls into the Interior Salish language group. The Report on the Status of B.C. First Nations Languages [2014] states that amongst Nlaka’pamux people, 2.1% are fluent speakers, 5.5% have some level of skill with language, and 6% are learners. Boston Bar belongs to the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC). Other NNTC member bands include Oregon Jack Creek Band, Boothroyd Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Spuzzum First Nation, Skuppah Indian Band. Boston Bar is a party to the Nlaka’pamux Nation’s Writ of Summons, which was filed in the BC Supreme Court on December 10, 2003, asserting Aboriginal title to a territory identified in the Writ. The Writ also includes Lower Nicola Indian Band, Ashcroft Indian Band, Boothroyd Indian Band, Coldwater Indian Band, Cook’s Ferry Indian Band, Kanaka Bar Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Nicomen Indian Band, Nooaitch Indian Band, Oregon Jack Creek Band, Shackan First Nation, Siska Indian Band, Skuppah Indian Band, and Spuzzum First Nation. -

SCHEDULE of INDIAN RESERVES and SETTLEMENTS Part II
SCHEDULE OF INDIAN RESERVES AND SETTLEMENTS Part II Province of British Columbia Revised to April 30, 1966 INDIAN AFFAIRS BRANCH DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS AND NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT PREFACE This schedule contains an alphabetical list of Indian Reserves in the Province of British Columbia. Part I of the schedule lists the Indian Reserves and Settlements in the rest of Canada. There are no Indian Settlements in the Province of British Columbia. The "Location" column gives the approximate geographical location of the reserves. The map co-ordinates are also listed under this column. The "N.T.S." abbreviation means the "National Topographic System" of maps covering the reserves and adjacent lands. The N.T.S. sheets quoted in this schedule are mainly at the scale 1:50,000 (approx. 1 mile to the inch), however, not all maps at this scale are published as of this printing. Where these sheets are not available the next best map coverage will be provided. These maps can be obtained by writing to the Map Distribution Office, Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa, Ontario. When requesting maps the complete N.T.S. designations should be quoted. It is hoped that a revised schedule may be published every five years or sooner, depending on the changes and needs. The changes (additions, deletions, almagamations, creation of new reserves, etc.) will not be reported to the holders of the schedule. Any questions respecting Indian lands should be directed to the Indian Affairs Branch, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Ottawa, Ontario. Note A number of Indian Reserves formerly designated as Burial Ground, Fishery, Fishing Station, Graveyard, Island, Meadow and Timber Reserve have recently been renamed according to names submitted by the various Band Councils. -
