    CAMPS on the LAND Considerations and Opportunities

    CAMPS ON THE LAND Considerations and Opportunities in the Yukon and northern British Columbia September 2006 Donald Reid Wildlife Conservation Society Canada Whitehorse Wildlife Conservation Society Canada Camps on the Land 1 SUMMARY Camps on the land are a strong force for community development, bringing youth and elders together in a non-urban environment where traditional knowledge and skills can be passed on among generations through direct experience. This report summarizes the key considerations in developing camps on the land, based on the experiences of First Nations in the Yukon and northern British Columbia. These include the sharing of a vision, the development and realization of an organization, guidelines for participation, and thoughts on productive sites and timing. Finally, the document summarizes key governmental and non-governmental resources that First Nations can use to develop and fund camps on the land. INTRODUCTION For cultures evolved in an intimacy with land and nature, continued experience of the land is necessary for cultural integrity and meaning. First Nations cultures in Canada evolved in such an intimacy, but various forces have dislocated people from the land in the last century or so. Attachment to the land has not been lost from collective experience nor will. The desire to foster traditional cultural meaning through intimacy with and understanding of nature still persists. This short document outlines some examples of how that desire has been realized by First Nations in the Yukon and northern British Columbia, through the organization of “camps on the land”. Examples include: Tr’ondek Hwech’in First Fish and First Hunt camps, Vuntut Gwichin summer hunting and fishing camps, Champagne-Aishihik Culture and Science Camps, Kaska Dena Youth Environment Camp (see Figure 1 for Traditional Territories).

Such a perspective frequently conflicts with settler societies’ view of water as a ‘‘resource’’ that can be owned, managed, and exploited. Although rarely articulated explicitly, water conflicts are rooted in ontological differences between Indigenous and settler views of water. Furthermore, the unequal water governance landscape created by settler colonialism has perpetuated the suppression of Indigenous ways of conceptualizing water. This paper thus examines the ‘‘political ontology’’ of water by drawing on insights from the fields of critical Indigenous studies, post-humanism, and water governance. Additionally, we engage a case study of four Yukon First Nations (Carcross/Tagish, Kluane, Tr’onde¨kHwe¨ch’in, and White River First Nations) in the Canadian North to examine their water ontologies through the lens of a politics of kinship including ideas about ‘‘respecting water.’’ We also examine the assumptions of settler- colonial water governance in the territory, shaped by modern land claims and self-government agreements. We close by discussing the implications of Indigenous water ontologies for alternate modes of governing water. Keywords Indigenous law, indigenous water governance, ontological politics, Yukon First Nations, Yukon, Canada Introduction We respect not only the water we utilize, we respect the land around it because it feeds into the water.
