Weist The purpose of this study was, firs t, to provide an ethnohistori- cal overview of the Kootenai Indians of B ritish Columbia, northwestern Montana and northeastern Idaho, and secondly, to discuss the Kootenai s' adaptation to the environmental region. The Kootenai River area is regarded by scholars and the Kootenai Indians themselves as the traditional homeland of the Kootenai Indians. The rugged, mountainous terrain and river valley supported a re la tiv e ly rich cultural lif e . Euroamericans who fir s t entered the area made observations of Kootenai Indian lif e - ways in th eir journals and records. Data was gathered by researching the journals, letters,reports and documents of the early Euroamerican explorers, trappers and traders, missionaries and government o ffic ia ls who travelled through the Kootenai region Data was also supplied through consultation with Kootenai Indian elders. Secondary sources were used to supplement and corroborate data. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people have significantly and generously contributed to the development and completion of this thesis, which has been greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the members of my thesis committee: Dr. H. Duane Hampton, Dr. Carling I. Malouf, Dr. Dee C. Taylor, and especially to the chairperson. Dr. Katherine M. Weist. Their comments and suggestions were very helpful, as was their consideration of my very limited time schedule.

I t Is an area characterized by precipitous, densely forested mountains. Intersected by narrow water courses. The Kootenai River valley serves as a major corridor through the rugged mountains, providing a transportation route linking the northern and eastern regions to lands south and west. The Kootenai River originates at Columbia Lakes, British Columbia, and runs basically southward to the mouth of the Fisher River, where i t cuts westward through northwestern Montana and northeastern Idaho. From there i t flows northward, emptying into Kootenay Lake in British Columbia (see map, p. v). According to Kootenai trib a l trad itio n , they were the original inhabitants of the Kootenai River region. It is not known who the Kootenai's ancestors were, nor from where they may have migrated. Some sources conjecture the Kootenai moved into the region from the north and settled along the riv e r, probably in the northern to middle stretch where the river flows south (Schaeffer 1940, Turney-High 1941), possibly in the vicinity of Tobacco Plains. More often sources state the Kootenai moved out of the eastern plains and Rocky Mountain 2 fo oth ills due to pressure from hostile Blackfeet (Chamberlain 1907; Johnson 1969). At any rate, white explorers, trappers and traders were informed by other Indian groups that the land west of the northern Rockies was Kootenai te rrito ry . Archaeological investigations have revealed human occupation of the Kootenai region dating to Paleo-Indian times, ca. 12,000 to 10,000 B.P. (Reeves 1975; Choquette and Holstine 1980). Reeves (1982:51) figures this occupation can be attributed to the Kootenai at least 2,000 years ago. At this time sufficient data do not exist to determine whether the occupation was Kootenai prior to 2,000 years ago, nor is i t known who these e a rlie r people might have been. My interest in the Kootenai Indians developed during three years of archaeological work conducted primarily for the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Kootenai National Forest, headquartered at Libby, Montana. As we attempted to determine potential locations for sites, numerous questions arose, and our survey strategies became increasingly problematic. What characteristics could have made one landform, or a certain vegetative type, a more propitious location for a campsite? What resources could have been more abundant in an area, promoting its greater u tiliza tio n or habitation? Additional questions arose, particularly after we had hiked up and down steep slopes, crawled on a ll fours through dense underbrush, and balanced precariously on downfall where there was no way to get around. How did the aboriginal people travel through this region? How and why did they liv e in such

Cramer and Associates. 77 pp. plus appendices. Conservation strategies delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to protect, rehabilitate, and maintain species and populations that have been recognized as imperiled, but not federally listed as threatened or endangered under the US Endangered Species Act. This Strategy resulted from cooperative efforts of U.S. and Canadian Federal, Provincial, and State agencies, Native American Tribes, First Nations, local Elected Officials, Congressional and Governor’s staff, and other important resource stakeholders, including members of the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative. This Conservation Strategy does not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of all individuals or agencies involved with its formulation. This Conservation Strategy is subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of conservation tasks. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho would like to thank the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative (KVRI) and the KVRI Burbot Committee for their contributions to this Burbot Conservation Strategy. The Tribe also thanks the Boundary County Historical Society and the residents of Boundary County for providing local historical information provided in Appendix 2.

  • “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc
    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

MINING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA It is a curious fact that, although what is now British Columbia possessed a vast wealth of visible resources, little attention was paid to them in the eighty years following Captain Cook's visit to the west coast of Vancouver Island in 1778. Such interest as was aroused was mainly in furs. It was interest in fur that led John Meares to establish his short-lived post at Nootka, and interest in fur that spurred Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, and David Thompson to undertake their arduous expeditions into British Colum• bia from the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. In the period from 1805 to 1849 fifteen posts were established along the routes of the fur brigades, and here and there the Oblate Fathers had planted churches among the tribes.

  • Dinosaur Census Reveals Abundant Tyrannosaurus and Rare Ontogenetic Stages in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (Maastrichtian), Montana, USA
    Dinosaur Census Reveals Abundant Tyrannosaurus and Rare Ontogenetic Stages in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (Maastrichtian), Montana, USA John R. Horner1*, Mark B. Goodwin2, Nathan Myhrvold3 1 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, United States of America, 2 Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, California, United States of America, 3 Intellectual Ventures, Bellevue, Washington, United States of America Abstract Background: A dinosaur census recorded during the Hell Creek Project (1999–2009) incorporates multiple lines of evidence from geography, taphohistory, stratigraphy, phylogeny and ontogeny to investigate the relative abundance of large dinosaurs preserved in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of northeastern Montana, USA. Overall, the dinosaur skeletal assemblages in the Hell Creek Formation (excluding lag-influenced records) consist primarily of subadult or small adult size individuals. Small juveniles and large adults are both extremely rare, whereas subadult individuals are relatively common. We propose that mature individuals of at least some dinosaur taxa either lived in a separate geographic locale analogous to younger individuals inhabiting an upland environment where sedimentation rates were relatively less, or these taxa experienced high mortality before reaching terminal size where late stage and often extreme cranial morphology is expressed. Methodology/Principal Findings: Tyrannosaurus skeletons are as abundant as Edmontosaurus, an herbivore, in the upper Hell Creek Formation and nearly twice as common in the lower third of the formation. Smaller, predatory dinosaurs (e.g., Troodon and dromaeosaurids) are primarily represented by teeth found in microvertebrate localities and their skeletons or identifiable lag specimens were conspicuously absent. This relative abundance suggests Tyrannosaurus was not a typical predator and likely benefited from much wider food choice opportunities than exclusively live prey and/or specific taxa.

Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.
