    Informing Disaster Resilience through a Nuu-chah-nulth Way of Knowing By Emily Dicken MSc, Oxford University, 2007 BSc, University of Victoria, 2004 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the department of Geography © Emily Dicken University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Informing Disaster Resilience through a Nuu-chah-nulth Way of Knowing By Emily Dicken MSc, Oxford University, 2007 BSc, University of Victoria, 2004 Supervisory Committee: Dr. Denise Cloutier, Department of Geography Supervisor Dr. Jim Gardner, Department of Geography Department Member Dr. Mark Seemann, Department of Geography Department Member Dr. Jeff Corntassel, Indigenous Governance Program Outside Member ii ABSTRACT Over the course of history, and to this day, Indigenous peoples around the world have used their traditional knowledge to prepare for, cope with, and survive disasters (Hasan, 2016). For Indigenous communities, this locally bound knowledge is acquired from intergenerational experience, study, sharing and observation, and as such, it becomes a critical component in the development of a strategy for disaster resilience (Chakrabarti, 2009; Resture, 2009; Rotarangi and Russell, 2009; Trosper, 2003). The purpose of this dissertation is to work with the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation, which consists of several Indigenous communities on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada to understand Nuu-chah-nulth knowledge and strategies for disaster resilience, and how they can inform a shift in cultural understanding within the field of practice of emergency management.
