    OKANAGAN RIVER BASIN Washington, U.S

    OKANAGAN RIVER BASIN Washington, U.S. – British Columbia, Canada INTRODUCTION The transboundary Okanagan River winds Map adapted from through topography most expect to see in Okanagan Nation Alliance Utah or Nevada. Relative to other Canadian climates, it is little wonder that tourists flock to the basin every year from all parts of Canada. The basin’s warm climate offers respite from Canadian winters, and the semi- arid conditions offer farmers in the U.S. a large number of growing days. Unfortunately, the rapid development in Canada and the drive to increase apple yield in the U.S. have discovered the basin’s limiting factor: water. Like many experiences in the Pacific Northwest, the case of the Okanagan River Basin is a story about water and fish. During the 20th century, dozens of anadromous fish populations that spawned and reared in the three large natural lakes along the Okanagan River† were sacrificed in the name of flood control, power, and irrigation benefits. Over time, the region’s values have shifted toward protection of the waning viability of at-risk species, especially Okanagan sockeye. This particular species has a great deal of meaning to the native peoples in the area and persists as the last anadromous salmon stock in the Canadian Okanagan. 1 Existing collaborative infrastructure, such as the 1964 Columbia River Treaty, creates opportunity for the two countries to harmonize efforts to address this problem. The primary motivation for attempts at † Apropos for the focus of this case, readers should be aware that Okanagan is the Canadian spelling of the word.

In this study I explore methods for employing LiDAR-derived digital elevation models as a tool for archaeological prospection within the Highland Valley Copper Mine. A review of contemporary and formative LiDAR-analysis archaeological prospection research was conducted to identify the most appropriate visualization techniques and data management workflow. Specific methods for the identification of microtopographic relief with the potential to contain archaeological resources were developed. The efficacy of LiDAR-based topographic analysis using manual feature extraction is validated through comparison with georeferenced survey and ground-truthing data provided by my research partners at the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council.
