  • Paths Forward: Hydropower and Indigenous Relationships Across Canada
    PATHS FORWARD HYDROPOWER AND INDIGENOUS RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS CANADA 2018 EDITION PATHS FORWARD The story of Canada’s hydro development dates back to the late 19th century when the power of falling water was fi rst used to supply mills and light buildings. While it played an important role in the economic growth of our country, we must acknowledge the impacts that were experienced by Indigenous communities. As we look forward from this history, meaningful engagement between utilities and communities are redefi ning how projects are undertaken. Paths Forward: Hydropower and Indigenous Relationships Across Canada features stories of recent hydro development projects pursued collaboratively between utilities and Indigenous communities. They are powerful examples of what can be achieved when relationships are founded on communication, honesty, and an equitable sharing of our country’s resources and their benefi ts. Development projects, procurement practices and capacity building continue to improve in their approach to meaningful consultation and inclusion. Projects like those showcased in this booklet are major economic drivers and represent sources of job creation, skills training, and opportunities for long term revenue streams that support the health, education, infrastructure and cultural needs of Indigenous People. As the largest and longest running clean source of electricity in Canada, hydropower is a signifi cant part of our supply mix. From coast to coast, Indigenous People are using their skills to create a clean energy future, and helping grow our country’s world-class hydroelectric expertise. Responsible development and the collaborative relationships they create are important steps toward a brighter, more inclusive future. The stories contained in this booklet were prepared by CHA members in consultation with representatives of Indigenous communities across Canada.

  • Dispossession and Resistance in British Columbia
    13 Chapter 1 Dispossession and Resistance in British Columbia Every community has its own distinct history—a history of the land and the people. Unfortunately, common to all Indigenous communities is the very recent history of colonization, a history of dispossession and resistance. In the lands now called British Columbia, this history is well documented. Researching and interpreting this history is a significant component of any Indigenous research project. Using a chronological narrative, this chapter provides a general overview of historical events in British Columbia, beginning with the 1763 British proclamation of sovereignty in North America. You can use this chapter to find information about specific events or compare different eras, detect patterns and identify relationships to get an overall sense of what has happened in Indigenous lands since 1763. It should be noted that reviewing a chronology is merely a first step in the process of conducting historical research. Chronologies are helpful tools that organize information and provide useful narratives to introduce a topic. Thus they rely upon generalizations and the use of secondary sources to provide a very broad overview of complex relationships between peoples that, in this case, span more than 300 years. The chronology that follows is not a complete or absolute account of Indigenous history in British Columbia, nor does it aim to be. Rather, this chronology provides a general historical background to help you begin to conduct research on the Indigenous lands now known as British Columbia. Chronology 1763 (February) Britain, France and Spain sign the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years War.

  • Large-Scale Impacts of Hydroelectric Development
    27 Large-scale impacts of hydroelectric development D.M. Rosenberg,1 F. Berkes, R.A. Bodaly, R.E. Hecky, C.A. Kelly, and J.W.M. Rudd Abstract: The substantial size of some hydroelectric projects and the extensive total surface area covered by reservoirs globally require that research determining the impacts of these developments be done at ever-increasing spatial and temporal scales. As a consequence of this research, new views are emerging about the spatial extent and longevity of the environmental and social impacts of such developments. New findings challenge the notion of hydroelectric development as a benign alternative to other forms of power generation. This review examines the intertwined environmental and social effects of methylmercury bioaccumulation in the food web, emission of greenhouse gases from reservoirs, downstream effects of altered flows, and impacts on biodiversity, each of which operates at its own unique spatial and temporal scales. Methylmercury bioaccumulation occurs at the smallest spatial and temporal scales of the four impacts reviewed, whereas downstream effects usually occur at the largest scales. Greenhouse gas emissions, the newest surprise connected with large-scale hydroelectric development, are relatively short term but eventually may have important global-scale consequences. Limitation of biodiversity by hydroelectric development usually occurs at intermediate spatial and temporal scales. Knowledge developed from working at expanded spatial and temporal scales should be an important part of future decision making for large-scale hydroelectric development. Key words: hydroelectric development, large-scale, environmental impacts, social impacts. Résumé : La dimension considérable de certains projets hydroélectriques et les vastes surfaces totales globalement couvertes par les réservoirs nécessitent que la recherche menée pour déterminer les impacts de ces développements soit conduite à des échelles d’espace et de temps de plus en plus grandes.

    Kitsumkalum Fisheries Department KITSUMKALUM FISHERIES DEPARTMENT FINAL REPORT ON 2010 SURVEY OF EULACHON ADULT SPAWNER AND EGG DISTRIBUTION IN THE LOWER SKEENA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES Report Document Prepared by David Rolston, BSc. Report Contact: Kitsumkalum Fisheries Department Attn: Steve Roberts Band Manager P.O. Box 544 Terrace, BC 250-635-6177 [email protected] Co-Funder of Project: Co-Funder of Project: 2010 Skeena River Eulachon Study Final Report Cover Page EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eulachon, Thaleichthys pacificus (AKA ooligan, oolichan, hooligan, oolachan, uthlecan, ulichan) are an ecological cornerstone for regional coastal ecosystems (Marston et al. 2002), and a culturally important species to many First Nations on the British Columbia coast. Starting in 1994, there was a sudden simultaneous drop in returns to many rivers, most notably in the Fraser, Columbia and Klinaklini Rivers (Hay 1996). Since then, many First Nations have reported that fish are absent or at very low levels in many British Columbia eulachon spawning rivers including: the Kemano, Kitimat, Wannock, Bella Coola, Nass, Skeena, Chilcoot, Unuk, Kitlope and Stikine (Moody 2007, Hay 2007). In past few years, due to these declines in populations coast-wide; Canadian researchers have requested that COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) evualuate the eulachon's status; while in the USA, NOAA’s (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), has recently listed the southern population of eulachon as threatened as of May 17, 2010. under the US Endangered Species Act since their scientific review found that this stock is indeed declining throughout its range. The reasons for this decline are unknown, but may in part, be due to impacts to critical spawning habitat in some watersheds.
