Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay A PEOPLE WITH HISTORY: ACCULTURATION AND RESISTANCE IN KIMSQUIT - Author: (signature) Paul Prince (name) April 14, 1992 (date) iii ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the process of acculturation among the K~msquitBeila Coola. It combines an examination of written documents witk the analysis of archaeological material from four Kirnsquit zrchaeologica! sites that show a sequence of relatively sho~toccupations spanning the late prehistoric through historic periods. The results of the study are as follows. Written records Sndicate that direct contact with Europeans was infrequent and unobtrusive until the 1870's with little visible impact upon lifeways or values. Attempts at directed change by colonial powers beginning in the iast quarter of the nineteenth century were met witk selective resistance. Resistance may have carried through to the 1920's when Kimsquit was abandoned. The analysis of the material assemblage shows the gradual incorporation and modification of European items into the indigenous cultural matrix and the retention of much of indigenous material culture until the mid 1800's. In the late nineteenth century Euro- American gocds almost completely replaced indigenous materials and focally modified trade goods. Many of those goods involved the adoption of Euro-AmerScan practices ii.e. hunting, clothing and building methds) and the loss of traditional craft skills ti.e. lithic technology) buS most have ambiguous functions and may have saen uniquely Native usages. Archival documents indicate that European items were easi7y 1 v acquired at local fish cannery stores by the end of the cet~tury and were adopted for their convenience and prestige, but st111 many Euro-American values remained actively resisted. In the iatter respect the thesis counters the tendency to think of Native societies as static or passive recipients of European traits. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I Acknowledgements are due to several individuals for aid in the preparatton of this thesis. A larye debt of gratitude is owed to senior supervisor Philip Hobler who directed my atte~2tionto the Kimsquit material, openly made availeble the archzeological collection, field records and several archival sources, and provided lab space for conducting the analysis. Ph~lalso provided technical assistance with the artifact photographs, contributed the excavation and archival photographs and was on encouraging and pragmakic editcr. Appreciation is also extended to cornmitt-ee member Roy Carlson for his encouragement and personal insight-s on the thesis problem. The technical advice of John Breffit on the analysis cf lithic materZa1 is also appreciated. Randy Bouchard provided several of the archival references. Greg Sullivan directed my attention to several useful references in the archaeological literature. Yvonne Marshall's enthusiasm for the thesls project was very encouraging. Patricia Austin patiently gave many impromptu word processing lessons and so?ved several formatting problems at crucial moments. Heather Pratt and Matti Niit graciously zllowed me to take over their study for printing the final draft. A final word of thanks is due to Lisa Rankin for her constant encouragement and support and the insights gained from her during many late night debates on culture contact. viii APPENDIX 7 ARTIFACT DESCRIPTIONS ..........................211 REFERENCES CITED ........................................... 286 LIST OF TABLES Table 1 Population Data .................................... 61 Table 2 Proportions of Major Artifact Classes in Study ....€55 Table 3 Inventory of Datable Items .......................112 Table 4 Artifact Types at Central Coast Sites ............ 130 Table 5 Artifacts of Local Material and Native .........Workmanship.............................Workmanship.............................Workmanship.............................Workmanship.............................Workmanship.....................................................

  • Eulachon Past and Present
    Eulachon past and present by Megan Felicity Moody B.Sc., The University of Victoria, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2008 © Megan Felicity Moody, 2008 Abstract The eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), a small anadromous smelt (Family Osmeridae) found only along the Northwest Pacific Coast, is poorly understood. Many spawning populations have suffered declines but as their historic status is relatively unknown and the fisheries poorly documented, it is difficult to study the contributing factors. This thesis provides a survey of eulachon fisheries throughout its geographical range and three analyses aimed at improving our understanding of past and present fisheries, coast-wide abundance status, and the factors which may be impacting these populations. An in-depth view of the Nuxalk Nation eulachon fishery on the Bella Coola River, Central Coast, BC, is provided. The majority of catches were used for making eulachon grease, a food item produced by First Nations by fermenting, then cooking the fish to release the grease. Catch statistics were kept yearly from 1945-1989 but have since, rarely been recorded. Using traditional and local ecological knowledge, catches were reconstructed based on estimated annual grease production. Run size trends were also created using local Fisheries Officers and Nuxalk interview comments. A fuzzy logic expert system was designed to estimate the relative abundance of fifteen eulachon systems. The expert system uses catch data to determine the exploitation status of a fishery and combines it with other data sources (e.g., CPUE) to estimate an abundance status index.

Fires can start without warning and, under the right conditions, spread very quickly to affect the whole valley. The ‘interface’ is described as the area where homes and businesses are built amongst trees in the vicinity of a forest. Virtually all of the Bella Coola valley residences and businesses are located in, or near, the interface fire zone and are consequently at risk from wildfire. Evaluation of the Interface Community Fire Hazard for the Bella Coola Valley indicates a range of interface fire hazard from moderate in the west, high in the central part and extreme in the eastern half of the valley .

Herlinveaux INTRODUCTION Burke Channel is the main migratory route of the pink salmon moving into and out of the Bella Coola River system (Figure 1). On their way to the sea, the pink salmon spend approximately twq months (mid~April to mid-June) in the system, during which time a significant and variable mortality occurs. The mortality must be associated partly with environmental factors. among which water movements are considered to be most significant. Water movements may either directly tiansport the fish, or, by altering the salinity distribution, and! or by concentrating or dispersing food organisms, modify their travel. Furthermore , variation in water movements may change the nutrient supply, which in turn will alter production of food necessary for growth and survivaL An extensive 5=year study of the l!spring Qceanographic conditionsl! in the system was terminated in 1967.

By wildness, we have in mind landscapes that are relatively self-maintaining, with full vegetation and faunal assemblages present, and where the human communities are in a close and sustainable relationship with the local ecosystem. Flourishing, and intact, we view wild landscapes as important in, and of, themselves; for cultural reasons, and as indicators of ecological health. Round River works closely with local, national and international con- servation organizations to ensure the integrity of wild lands and waters for generations yet to come.

It is the main route through whi ch pink salmon migrate into and out of the Bella Coola River system from the Pacific Ocean . During the period (April, May, June) \vhen the young pink salmon are circulating in the Burke Ch annel system prior to entrainment into the sea , it is believed that a vari able and often significant mortality occurs. It has been surmised that this mortality rate is associate d primarily with the interplay between several environmental factors; water movements may be among the mo st important factors since they may direc tly transport th e fish or alter migratory routes by modifying the sa­ linity dis tribution .
