  • B.C. First Nations Pronunciation Guide
    A Guide to the Pronunciation of Indigenous Communities and Organizations in BC The Pronunciation Guide offered below is from the September 2018 Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia. Please note there may be some variation from this version due to periodic updates that have occurred since then. For changes, please email: [email protected]. This Guide contains aids to the pronunciation of communities and organizations listed in the Excel Database “Guide to Indigenous Organizations and Services in British Columbia” (Previously known as The Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia). The original Pronunciation Guide was created with input from First Nations and other Aboriginal organizations, as well as from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council. British Columbia has a vast wealth of First Nations languages and cultures. There are 7 distinct language families, completely unrelated to each other. Within these families there are 34 different First Nations languages and at least 93 different dialects (varieties) of those languages. Besides these 34 living languages, at least three languages which were spoken in British Columbia are now sleeping.1 All of these languages contain a rich inventory of sounds, many of which are not found in English. When preparing this Guide, we asked representatives to help us understand how to pronounce the traditional name of their community or organization. The pronunciation equivalents we have developed here are meant as an introductory guide. The final authority on a pronunciation rests with the community. We encourage you to gain a first-hand understanding of how a name is pronounced by speaking directly with, and being guided by, representatives from each community.

Drawing from literature commentary, primary document review, surveys and interviews, this dissertation explores consistency and uniqueness in the relationship between commercial archaeology and Indigenous peoples in Canada. Four Conditions of engagement and four Capital properties of engagement emerge and are theorized as constituting a framework capable of considering the diversity of engagement practice in Canada. Conditions include: Regulation, Capacity (Developer and Community) and Relationships. The regulatory heritage regimes governing engagement are considered across provincial/territorial boundaries together with a host of legislation, policy documents, treaty settlements, and other State/Indigenous agreements.
