  • Yellow-Cedar Decline in the North Coast Forest District of British Columbia
    United States Department of Agriculture Yellow-Cedar Decline in the Forest Service North Coast Forest District Pacific Northwest Research Station of British Columbia Research Note PNW-RN-549 Paul E. Hennon, David V. D’Amore, Stefan Zeglen, and October 2005 Mike Grainger1 Abstract The distribution of a forest decline of yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis (D. Don) Örsted) has been documented in southeast Alaska, but its occurrence in British Columbia was previously unknown. We conducted an aerial survey in the Prince Rupert area in September 2004 to determine if yellow-cedar forests in the North Coast Forest District of British Columbia were experiencing a similar fate as in nearby Alaska. Numerous large areas of concentrated yellow-cedar mortality were found, extending the known distribution of the decline problem 150 km south of the Alaska–British Columbia border. The forests with the most concentrated tree death occurred at 300 to 400 m elevation, frequently on south aspects. The appearance of these forests including proximity to bogs; mixtures of dying, recently killed, and long-dead trees; and crown and bole symptoms of dying trees were all consistent with the phenomenon in southeast Alaska. Introduction 2 Yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis (D. Don) Örsted) decline (fig. 1) extends over 200 000 ha in a broad band through southeast Alaska to the Alaska–British Columbia border along Portland Canal (fig. 2) (Wittwer 2004). The problem is specific to yellow-cedar and is characterized on the landscape as a progressive and intensifying process that results in fading trees with thin or offcolor crowns and numerous standing dead trees, some killed recently and others up to 100 1 Paul E.

  • Bibliography of Tahltan Language Materials
    An Annotated Bibliography of Tahltan Language Materials John Alderete, Simon Fraser University [email protected] Tanya Bob, University of British Columbia [email protected] Thomas McIlwraith, University of New Mexico [email protected] Purpose. To list and summarize materials on the Tahltan language, including linguistics papers, dictionaries, collections of stories, and teaching materials. We hope that the bibliography will give language teachers, linguists, anthropologists, and all others interested in Tahltan language and culture an awareness of what materials exist and how they might be useful in a range of scholarship. Transcription Note. The consonant and vowel sounds transcribed here are presented in the Tahltan Practical Alphabet (TPA) developed by the Tahltan Tribal Council. See Carter (1991) for TPA chart and the Sound Correspondence Chart to see how the same sounds have been written by other linguists. Acknowledgements. Thanks to Patricia Shaw and Keren Rice for valuable comments. This bibliography was supported in part by the National Science Foundation (SES-9904360). General Introduction. Most speakers of the Tahltan language live in Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake, and Iskut, British Columbia, Canada. These three communities are on or near the Stewart- Cassiar Highway which joins central British Columbia to the Alaska Highway in the southern Yukon. Some Tahltan speakers live in Lower Post, British Columbia and Watson Lake, Yukon Territory, and some of these texts reflect research in those communities. In addition to these northern communities, Tahltans live today in several other urban centres, including Smithers, Terrace, Prince George, and in Greater Vancouver. Early twentieth century ethnographers (including G.T. Emmons and James Teit) concentrated their research documenting Tahltan traditional culture and stories at Telegraph Creek and Tahltan Village; recent research with Tahltans has taken place in Iskut and Dease Lake as well.
