A recent wave of information in the form of digital images of ancestral objects, long-absent from the community, has enabled Nuxalk members to develop connoisseurial skills to reinterpret, reengage, and re-indigenize those objects while constructing cultural continuity and mobilizing symbolic capital in their community, the art market, and between each other. The methodologies described in this ethnography and deployed by Nuxalk people draw from both traditional knowledge and formal analysis, problematizing the presumed binary division between these epistemologies in First Nations art scholarship and texts. By developing competencies with objects though exposure and familiarity, Nuxalk carpenters and cultural specialists are driving a spiritual and artistic resurgence within their community.

The Terrace Airport is located on the flat bench on skyline to the left. We live within the great Coast Range where the Skeena River flowing west to the Pacific crosses the wide north-south Kitsumkalum-Kitimat Valley. This region is underlain by diverse geological materials and is continually shaped by earth processes. Terrace, like other communities, is dependent on the Earth for water, food, materials and energy. Not only does the Earth provide resources, but it accepts our wastes. This GeoTour fieldguide explores how our community of Terrace ’lives off the land‘. What earth materials underlie this landscape and how do they affect us? How has the local landscape shaped human use of our area? What local earth resources do we depend on? Where does our supply of drinking water come from? Where does our sewage go? Where does our garbage go? Where does the energy which fuels our lives come from? Are we sustaining the land that sustains us? This guide tours the geological landscape of Terrace and reveals its story.

  • The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada
    The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada Richard Elliott [email protected] THE EVOLVING ROLE OF COMPETITION ACT MERGER REVIEW IN THE TRANSPORT AND BROADCASTING SECTORS IN CANADA Richard Elliott* I. Introduction The Competition Act1 is a law of general application which applies, for the most part, equally across diverse sectors of the Canadian economy. In the area of merger review, the Commissioner of the Competition ("Commissioner") and her staff the Competition Bureau ("Bureau") have traditionally reviewed all mergers under the common analytical framework established in the Merger Enforcement Guidelines ("MEGs").2 This same framework has been applied irrespective of whether a merger was also subject to concurrent merger review by another regulator. This paper looks at recent developments regarding regulatory review of mergers in the transport and broadcasting sectors in Canada and discusses whether they are likely to have any impact on the Bureau's role in respect of such mergers. The principal development in the transport area has been the extension in June 2007 of the Canada Transportation Act ("CTA") merger review regime from airlines to all transport sectors.3 This provides for the possibility that the Minister of Transport and Cabinet, not the Competition Tribunal ("Tribunal") or the courts, will have the ultimate decision making authority over mergers, including competition aspects, in the transport sector. In the broadcast sector, recent Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") enforcement decisions and policy developments point to a focus on market concentration issues in a manner that may overlap with, although also diverge from, the reviewing role of the Bureau.

  • Gitksan Cultural Retention in Christianized Houses And
    GITKSAN CULTURAL RETENTION IN CHRISTIANIZED HOUSES AND SPACE By GARVEY SOOSAY Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. Leslie Main Johnson in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta June, 2010 1 Abstract The Gitksan culture of the Northern British Columbia has survived in spite of religious and government assaults. Many First Nations have a pride towards their culture partly due to the early efforts of their elders who tried their best to resist assimilation. Yet in spite of assimilative methods and strategies of missionaries, the Gitksan took a proactive role in allowing the missionaries to assist them to cope with the expanding western institutions in British Columbia. Scholars such as Ronald Wright (1992)1, Thomas Berger (1992)2 and Elizabeth Furniss (1995)3 have centered their studies on the unequal relations that existed between various First Nations groups and Europeans. These interpretations serve to highlight the tragedies and the victimization of the Native/European experience, but specific studies of syncretism demonstrate that power was also shared within the colonizing process. In the Gitksan territory, the syncretism of culture and the acceptance of church ideals is demonstrated in the art and architecture within the contemporary reserve villages. Introduction The Gitksan were heavily influenced by the teachings of Methodist missionaries and that was made apparent in the transference of European building styles. The Gitksan sacrificed the traditional life in cedar longhouses, but evidence of traditional art and architectural forms still exist in all of the contemporary reserve villages. The Gitksan chose to embrace both cultures.
