A GUIDE to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013)
A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) A GUIDE TO Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia (December 2013) INTRODUCTORY NOTE A Guide to Aboriginal Organizations and Services in British Columbia is a provincial listing of First Nation, Métis and Aboriginal organizations, communities and community services. The Guide is dependent upon voluntary inclusion and is not a comprehensive listing of all Aboriginal organizations in B.C., nor is it able to offer links to all the services that an organization may offer or that may be of interest to Aboriginal people. Publication of the Guide is coordinated by the Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch of the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation (MARR), to support streamlined access to information about Aboriginal programs and services and to support relationship-building with Aboriginal people and their communities. Information in the Guide is based upon data available at the time of publication. The Guide data is also in an Excel format and can be found by searching the DataBC catalogue at: http://www.data.gov.bc.ca. NOTE: While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information, we have been experiencing some technical challenges while updating the current database. Please contact us if you notice an error in your organization’s listing. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work towards resolving these challenges. If there have been any changes to your organization’s contact information please send the details to: Intergovernmental and Community Relations Branch Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation PO Box 9100 Stn Prov. -

The Ts’kw’aylaxw is a Secwepemc (pronounced “Shi-HUEP-muh” or “She-KWE-pem”) (Shuswap) group, historically part of the ethnographic “Bonaparte Division” and over time, through intermarriage, the Ts'kw'aylaxw were absorbed by the St’at’imc (Lillooet) Nations, specifically associated with the Fraser River Band (šλáλimx?úl) of the upper division of the St'at'imc. The Ts’kw’aylaxw are a member of the St'át'imc Chiefs Council.

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. -
Excerpt from Crown Consultation and Accommodation Report (CCAR), Page 26
Excerpt from Crown Consultation and Accommodation Report (CCAR), page 26: After careful consideration, 10 groups were added to the list for inclusion in consultation: Papaschase First Nation Aseniwuche Winewak Nation Driftpile Cree Nation Swan River First Nation Hwlitsum First Nation Tsuu’tina Nation Esk’etemc First Nation Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement East Prairie Métis Settlement Kikino Métis Settlement Saddle Lake Cree Nation and Whitefish (Goodfish) Lake First Nation were consulted as one band during the 2016 consultation process. However, Saddle Lake First Nation requested to be consulted separately for the 2018–2019 process, resulting in another community being added to the list. The Métis Nation of Alberta and the Zone 4 Métis had initially been consulted together but were subsequently consulted separately. As a result, the Crown list increased to a total of 129 Indigenous groups for the 2018–2019 consultation process.

Project A: Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery 2. Project B: Community Visioning 3. Project C: Community Asset Inventory 4. Project D: Economic Leakage Analysis Project A – Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery The feasibility study included conducting a literature review and interviews with other regions that have similar attributes to that of the northern SLRD. The literature along with the interviews revealed similar results, primarily the need for relationships and communication between all of the groups involved in an economic development shared service. The Fraser Basin Council recommends that an economic development steering committee be formed to guide the direction of a shared economic development service with representation from all of the parties involved across the sub-region. During the first year, the development and implementation of the service should be facilitated by a third party, non-profit society. Once the committee membership and service have been established, the committee may form a new non-profit society/join an existing one and hire a staff person to carry out the work, or continue to utilize a third party. -
