Ucluelet Final Culture and Heritage Study, Marine Resource Sites and Activities, Maa-nulth First Nations Uchucklesaht Tribe Project Final Report Illustration of “Ouchucklesit Village” by Frederick Whymper, 1864. Beinecke Library, Yale. Prepared for Uchucklesaht Tribe by Traditions Consulting Services, Inc. Chatwin Engineering Ltd. March 12, 2004 “But the ocean is more the home of these people than the land, and the bounteous gifts of nature in the former element seem more to their taste and are more easily procured than the beasts of the forest.... ...Without a question these people are the richest in every respect in British Columbia...” George Blenkinsop, 1874. Note to Reader Thanks is offered to the Maa­nulth First Nations for their support of the project for which this is the Final Report, and especially to the h=aw`iih (chiefs), elders and cultural advisors who have shared their knowledge in the past, and throughout the project. In this report, reference is made to “Maa­nulth First Nations,” a recent term. Within the context of this report, that term is intended to refer to the Huu­ay­aht First Nation, the Uchucklesaht Tribe, the Toquaht First Nation, the Ucluelet First Nation, the Ka:'yu:k't'h/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nation, and to the tribes and groups that were their predecessors. No attempt has been made to standardize the linguistic transcription of native names or words in this report. These are presented in the manner in which they were encountered in various source materials. Management Summary This is the Final Report for the Culture and Heritage Study, Marine Resource Sites and Activities, Maa­nulth First Nations. The Maa­nulth First Nations include the Huu­ay­aht First Nation, the Uchucklesaht Tribe, the Toquaht First Nation, the Ucluelet First Nation, and the Ka:'yu:k't'h/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nation. Previous Traditional Use Studies have been conducted that developed data for each of the Maa­nulth First Nations (MFN). The purpose of the Culture and Heritage Study of the Marine Resource Sites and Activities of the MFN is to fill significant gaps, identified by the MFN, in the available information concerning their “traditional use sites” and activities. Specifically, the project is intended to provide information required to assist and expedite consultations and negotiations regarding marine resources and areas by: • further enhancing the ability of the MFN to collect, organize, map and manage information about cultural heritage sites of significance to their communities; • developing mutually agreed to datasets and maps of MFN marine cultural heritage sites and activities for use during consultations, negotiations and at the treaty table; and • developing consensus in each community concerning project results, and the application of the project data. In brief, the project pursued the following objectives: • gathered existing information; • researched additional information on marine cultural heritage sites and activities; • collated information on marine cultural heritage sites into a database and GIS to acceptable standards; and • conducted 3 separate consultations with each MFN community concerning the project, including public discussions. The project commenced on June 23rd, 2003, and was completed on January 31st, 2004. Project tasks were completed according to schedule, with minor exceptions. The Final Report presents the project results, commencing with sections that provide the historical and ethnographic context for MFN marine resource use. A history of research is presented, beginning with a summary of descriptions about the Maa­nulth from early historical records, government records, and followed by reviews of anthropological research, traditional use studies and cultural heritage studies about the MFN. A summary of ethnographic information is next provided, including discussions of traditional social organization and governance, and resource use and management, particularly as these relate to marine resources. Next, the ethnographic histories of each of the Maa­nulth First Nations is summarized, followed by descriptions of the traditional methods of harvesting and utilizing marine resources. The final report sections discuss the results of the project’s research on cultural heritage sites and summarize information included in the deliverables, mostly concerning the cultural heritage site databases and GIS. The project achieved significant results. At the outset of the project, there were 2,762 cultural heritage sites recorded in the Maa­nulth First Nations’ cultural heritage site databases and GIS data. At the conclusion of the project, the number of sites had increased by 783 sites, resulting in a total of 3,545 sites, and representing an increase of 28% in the number of documented sites. There were significant increases in cultural heritage site data for each First Nation. In addition to the increase in the number of cultural heritage sites included in the project’s databases and GIS, other achievements included: • reviews of previous research, and improvements in completeness and accuracy of existing records; • additional information researched and recorded for previously documented sites; • enhancements in the ability of the MFN to research and manage information about cultural heritage sites; • research and organization of information on the traditional context for marine cultural heritage sites and activities, and • presentation of project information at community consultations.

  • Only a Matter of Time: the Impacts of the Cascadia Subduction Zone And
    Running head: ONLY A MATTER OF TIME Only a Matter of Time: The Impacts of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and Colonialism on Indigenous Communities in Vancouver Island Sydney M. Dyck Mount Royal University ONLY A MATTER OF TIME Abstract The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a fault line that runs seven hundred miles off of the coast of the Pacific Northwest, where two borders of tectonic plates meet and have been subducting for centuries (Schulz, 2015). This fault line poses the threat of an impending earthquake and tsunami, as the subduction zone will eventually give way to the enormous amounts of pressure on the undersea plates, triggering what Schulz calls a “seven-hundred-mile liquid wall that will reach the Northwest coast, on average, fifteen minutes after the earthquake begins” (2015). The devastation this earthquake and tsunami duo will unleash upon coastal British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest will inevitably be catastrophic, with approximately 7,000,000 people being at risk of exposure to this disaster and an estimated 71,000 people living directly in the inundation zone (Schulz, 2015). Kenneth Murphy, who directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Region X, the division responsible for Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska, stated, “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast;” under this premise it is of utmost importance for us to consider those who are most vulnerable to the risks associated with a disaster of this size (Schulz, 2015). In this paper, I will be focusing on the potential effects that a natural disaster triggered by the Cascadia Subduction Zone could have on those living on Vancouver Island, specifically the Indigenous peoples who have populated the area for centuries.

  • Earthquakes in Southwestern British Columbia
    Earthquakes in southwestern British Columbia Southwestern British Columbia is one of the most seismically active regions in Canada. Approximately 400 earthquakes occur each year in the region extending from the north end of Vancouver Island to Seattle, Washington U.S. seen on the map below. About a dozen of these earthquakes are felt by people, but many of the larger earthquakes occur offshore. Earthquakes capable of causing structural damage happen every decade or so. What Causes Earthquakes? The surface or crust of the Earth is always moving. Large segments of this crust, called tectonic plates, continually shift against each other, causing stress to build-up. When the stress becomes too great, a sudden rupture or earthquake occurs along a zone of weakness called a fault, generating seismic waves. Earthquakes occur most Maintaining the frequently where tectonic plates interact - such as the Cascadia antennae that receive Subduction Zone of southwestern British Columbia. earthquake data from 15 Years of Earthquakes remote stations. 15 Years of Earthquakes 15 Years of Earthquakes 15 Years of Earthquakes The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) 50˚ 50˚ Southwestern British Columbia is located above the boundary between the oceanic Juan de Fuca Plate and the continental 50˚ Vancouver North American Plate.

  • 70 As Final Resting Place, Canada Is Chosen. on Citizenship Paper
    70 BC STUDIES As final resting place, Canada is chosen. On citizenship paper, Signing Hand trembles. University of British Columbia COLE HARRIS Bull of the Woods, The Gordon Gibson Story, by Gordon Gibson with Carol Renison. Vancouver: Douglas and Mclntyre, 1980. Pp. 310, $16.95 hardcover. Gordon Gibson, through his own words as recorded by Renison, comes through as a racist, sexist, bullying and often insensitive man. He also emerges as a tough, often courageous, sometimes high-minded and sur­ prisingly honest entrepreneur. Perhaps because one senses that only such an individual could have run the risks he ran, built the mills he built and established the forest companies he did in the pioneer conditions of the 1920s to 1950s, one winces at the revelations but reads on. Too much of the book is a personal diary, written as if in the first per­ son, in which Gibson eulogizes himself. This is unfortunate because the events he brought about, the territory on which he imposed his will and the people whose lives he affected are exceedingly interesting to the reader who is concerned with British Columbia's history. Fewer precious revela­ tions and more detailed descriptions of events would have made the book a lasting tribute to the man. He is worthy of a lasting tribute, the negative characteristics notwithstanding. His version of the logging and fishing conditions and small mills in the 1920s, of boats, log-booms, storms and mishaps in dangerous seas through that decade and the next few, and, most particularly, of the establishment of Tahsis after the war are worth the reading.
