In the 60s and 70s our family lived on Waldron Island. In 1971 we built the present dock with a ramp and floats at the South end of Mail Bay. The reason I bring up our dock as an example is because our dock is very similar in size and exposure to the proposed Honeywell dock and float system. Like our Mail Bay dock, the Honeywell floats will be removed and stored during the winter.

This work was possible because of the many people who have over the years established the written records of the history, territories, and governance of the Carrier Sekani. Without this foundation, this study would have been difficult if not impossible. This study involved many community members in various capacities including: Community Coordinators/Liaisons Ryan Tibbetts, Burns Lake Band Bev Ketlo, Nadleh Whut’en First Nation Sara Sam, Nak’azdli First Nation Rosa McIntosh, Saik’uz First Nation Bev Bird & Ron Winser, Tl’azt’en Nation Michael Teegee & Terry Teegee, Takla Lake First Nation Viola Turner, Wet’suwet’en First Nation Elders, Trapline & Keyoh Holders Interviewed Dick A’huille, Nak’azdli First Nation Moise and Mary Antwoine, Saik’uz First Nation George George, Sr. Nadleh Whut’en First Nation Rita George, Wet’suwet’en First Nation Patrick Isaac, Wet’suwet’en First Nation Peter John, Burns Lake Band Alma Larson, Wet’suwet’en First Nation Betsy and Carl Leon, Nak’azdli First Nation Bernadette McQuarry, Nadleh Whut’en First Nation Aileen Prince, Nak’azdli First Nation Donald Prince, Nak’azdli First Nation Guy Prince, Nak’azdli First Nation Vince Prince, Nak’azdli First Nation Kenny Sam, Burns Lake Band Lillian Sam, Nak’azdli First Nation Ruth Tibbetts, Burns Lake Band Ryan Tibbetts, Burns Lake Band Joseph Tom, Wet’suwet’en First Nation Translation services provided by Lillian Morris, Wet’suwet’en First Nation.

It has been a full and busy year even with the pandemic, which is priority for Lake Babine as the safety and wellness of all member is important to us. You will notice the Foundation update that was submitted as a team providing information on the recently signed Foundation Agreement, in addition to the Foundation work LBN has continued to work on other Natural Resource developments. I am happy to report that LBN has finally recruited a Director for Natural Resources and will be introduced at the AGA. There is also a briefing that gives a summary of the mining and exploration development that is happening within the territory. Major resource development projects require approval from BC through an environmental assessment (“EA”) in order to happen.

In August, 1939, west of Cape St. James, Lat. 52° 49' N, Long. 1340 29' W, three specimens were obtained on a tuna lure and were recorded in 1940 by V. J. Samson. The albacore has been captured off the west coast of Vancouver Island in increasing numbers since 1939. The first large commercial catch was made in 1940. The abundance of the fish has proven to be rather variable in Canadian waters as it has off the California coast. This pelagic fish is distributed throughout all warm to temperate seas. Since no mature individuals have been taken anywhere along the Pacific coast of North America, it would seem that the albacore is a tropical fish whose young make extensive feeding migrations to distant regions and return to the tropics at the onset of maturity. The food consists of schooling small fishes such as anchovies, pilchards, herring, saunes, young mackerel and albacore, blue lanternfish (Tarle- tonbeania crenularis), as well as squid and zooplankton. It is a highly-prized sport and commercial fish and is taken with jigs made of bone, rags and feathers, towed behind boats. The commercial catch in Canadian waters is secured by trolling with bright red feather lures and is frozen for the most part, for subsequent canning. Fishermen sometimes refer to the albacore as the tuna or longfin tuna.

Kennedy Professor Jonathan W. Moore Senior Supervisor Associate Professor John D. Reynolds Supervisor Professor Douglas C. Braun Examiner Adjunct Professor School of Resource and Environmental Management Date Defended/Approved: June 12, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Animals with complex life cycles migrate to exploit resources from different environments, but are exposed to multiple stressors and challenges. Here I investigated stressors across ontogenetic shifts in sockeye salmon. First, I examined migration and condition of juvenile sockeye salmon fry as they migrate from the Babine River, British Columbia, to upstream lake rearing habitat. High water velocities increased challenges to successful upstream migration to the lake, but lake rearing habitat was associated with larger fry (30% longer, 150% heavier). Second, I examined how multiple ocean stressors impact freshwater fecundity using a nearly 7-decade dataset from Fraser and Skeena sockeye salmon. Good ocean conditions and low biomass of salmon competitors were associated with younger, larger, more fecund sockeye.

These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations have used these .rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws. Although each report in this series is as different as the waterway it describes, there is a common structural approach to each paper. Each report describes the establishment of Indian eserves along the river; what Licences of Occupation were issued; what instructions were given to surveyors laying out these reserves; how each surveyor laid out each reserve based on his field notes and survey plan; what, if any, fishing rights were considered for the Indian Bands; and how the Indian and non-native populations have used the waterway over the past centuries for both commercial and recreational use.
