  • The Kulleet Bay Mass Grave by Colleen Parsley a THESIS
    The Kulleet Bay Mass Grave by Colleen Parsley A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2018 © Colleen Parsley, 2018 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, a thesis/dissertation entitled: The Kulleet Bay Mass Grave submitted by Colleen Parsley in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Examining Committee: Darlene Weston Supervisor Bruce Granville Miller Supervisory Committee Member n/a Supervisory Committee Member David Pokotylo Additional Examiner Abstract This bioarchaeological study was undertaken in partnership with Stz’uminus First Nation and draws on forensic and osteological methodologies for the analysis of 153,386 cremated human bones found buried together in a mass grave. Archaeological context is integrated with the bioarchaeological results to understand the various dimensions of a mass cremation grave discovered during 2004 sewer line excavations in the traditional ancient Stz’uminus village of Kulleet Bay. Analyses of the thermally altered skeletal bone indicate fleshed bodies were intensely cremated with sustained temperatures. Vertical gradation of temperature altered matrices were observed in the stratigraphic profile. Archaeological and osteological evidence point to an in situ cremation event of fleshed corpses who suffered a mass death, radiocarbon dated to 2407 cal BP. Skeletal pathologies consistent with poor health and also potentially related to disease processes are perhaps indirect evidence of the agent of mass death. No evidence of conflict or natural environmental disaster is present to support alternative causes.

  • Vancouver Island's Fly- Fishing Heritage
    VVVaaannncccooouuuvvveeerrr IIIssslllaaannnddd’’’sss FFFlllyyy--- FFFiiissshhhiiinnnggg HHHeeerrriiitttaaagggeee By Art Lingren Published in 1865, MacFie’s book is one of May 2004 the earliest published on the two colonies Vancouver Island’s fly fishing heritage is entwined with that of the Hudson Bay Company (HBC). Founded in 1670, the HBC was given exclusive rights to trade in Northern North America. Over the next century and a half, the Company expanded from its Hudson Bay beginnings, pushing west to the Pacific Ocean and including the coast from what is now British Columbia as far south as Northern California. However, in 1843, as a result of a dispute with the Americans, the HBC moved its main southwestern headquarters from Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River to Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island. In 1849 Vancouver Island became a colony of Great Britain and remained a separate colony until joined with British Columbia, on the mainland, to form one colony in 1866.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.

    Annotated Bibliography Cowichan River System Literature Related to Factors Affecting the Production ofCowichan River Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon April 2002 By Coastline Environmental Services 3453 Falcon Drive, Nanaimo BC V9T4G7, Home: (250) 756-2287 Cell: (250) 729-6238 Email: [email protected] For Oceans and Community Stewardship 4166B Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo, B.C V9T 4B7. and Cowichan Tribes 5760 Allenby Road Duncan, B.C V9L 5Jl INTRODUCTION Concerns have been identified regarding the Cowichan River system and possible factors affecting the production of chinook, coho and chum salmon. Despite stringent management strategies Cowichan River salmon stocks continue to remain below optimal production levels for the river system. This annotated bibliography was created in conjunction with a compilation of the reports cited, creating a specialized literature resource. The majority ofreports included have been copied from originals, bound and organized in alphabetical order by author. There are two complete sets available; one set will be kept at oceans and community stewardship office in Nanaimo and the other at DFO district office in Duncan. Each report has been annotated in this bibliography including; full citation, abstract source and abstract. Abstracts were derived from a variety of sources, including, original reports, an annotated bibliography created by Kristen Daniels, and myself. These resources were created to aid in a preliminary assessment into why Cowichan River salmon populations have failed to recover despite management efforts. The hope was that available literature would provide clues as to possible limiting factors for influencing recovery of chinook, chum and coho populations in the Cowichan River system. The literature included was gathered from various libraries, biologists, scientists and government organizations.
