FNESS Strategic Plan Strategic Plan 2013-2015 At a Glance FNESS evolved from the Society of Native Indian Fire Fighters of BC (SNIFF), which was established in 1986. SNIFF’s initial objectives were to help reduce the number of fire-related deaths on First Nations reserves, but it changed its emphasis to incorporate a greater spectrum of emergency services. In 1994, SNIFF changed its name to First Nations’ Emergency Services Society of BC to reflect the growing diversity of services it provides. Today our organization continues to gain recognition and trust within First Nations communities and within Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) and other organizations. This is reflected in both the growing demand of service requests from First Nations communities and the development of more government-sponsored programs with FNESS. r e v Ri k e s l A Inset 1 Tagish

Director’s Message During the past fiscal funding year of 2012/13, communities working with the FNESS organization totalled 163, which is a successful level of engagement that should not be overlooked. In addition, membership continues to grow. However, as identified within this strategic document, more outreach and engagement are necessary as FNESS continues to strive to meet our First Nations communities’ needs, helping to build capacity from a First Nations governance perspective. These programs include: • Fire training, education, prevention, and support; Chris Wong • Emergency community planning, preparedness, response, and recovery; Executive Director • Forest fuel management; and • Leadership and governance. Our programs aim to build professional capacity and assist First Nations communities toward self-governance. Our prevention programs are keys to saving lives, reducing potential for injuries, and increasing the overall safety of communities. Further, we build professional capacity, both short- and long-term. Development of a Community Emergency Plan better ensures that the community and members will react to an emergency situation and overcome it with as little impact, loss of life or injury as can be expected given the type of event and their specific situation. The development of a Community Emergency Plan will be a tool that helps build capacity and assists the First Nation towards self-governance. FNESS also fills a gap for these services and programs as there is no other First Nations service organization in BC doing this work while maintaining strong community relations and cultural perspectives. FNESS identifies our strategy for developing our own source-funding through partnerships with for-profit organizations, and we are now a registered charity. This is an essential step in order to meet the demands and requests of our communities, and it requires considerable commitment from FNESS and support from others. To better serve our communities, FNESS continues to adapt as needed, with our mandate as displayed within this strategic plan being our overriding focus that keeps us on target. The overwhelming support from First Nations communities, First Nations organizations, our current and future members, and our staff gives us a strong platform moving forward into the next two years. This strategic plan will be reviewed annually, ensuring all voices and needs are clearly represented for the future.

  • 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.
