Land Use Plan 2019 KITSELAS FIRST NATION LAND USE PLAN 2019 DRAFT The Land Use Plan is a DRAFT living document and must be reviewed as part of all decision-making processes on Kitselas’ Reserve lands. This is to ensure that any proposed future decisions related to the use of land are consistent with the Plan. Any decisions related to new development or expansion or relocation of existing development must adhere to the Land Use Plan. Examples of projects that would require input from the Land Use Plan include, but may not be limited to: Residential development (homes and subdivisions) Commercial development Industrial development Infrastructure development Community facilities Resource extraction activities (i.e. forestry and mining) DRAFT Preamble his Land Use Plan will be interpreted in accordance with the culture, traditions and customs of Kitselas First Nation (KFN). The preamble for the Kitselas Reserve Lands Management Act (posted Ton the Kitselas First Nation website) provided guidance for the development of the Land Use Plan. The Act sets out the principles and legislative and administrative structures that apply to Kitselas land and by which the Nation exercises authority over this land. The preamble to the Kitselas Reserve Lands Management Act is derived from the Men of M’deek, the oral translation of the Kitselas people as described by Walter Wright. It states: “The Kitselas People have occupied and benefited Wise Men delved deeply to find its cause. At from their home lands since time out of memory last, satisfied they had learned that which they and govern their lives and lands through a had sought for, they said, “The action that lies system of laws and law making based on the at the root of this difficulty is wrong. following principles: Our People must be protected in the future that Laws they had; but these were few; laws framed the same error may not be committed again.

A process for making minor and major amendments to the Plan is outlined here along with a description of the planning process and engagement opportunities involved in the development of the 2019 Plan. The Land Use Plan provides for land use that reflects and reinforces Kitselas’ values relating to the land base. It is an important policy document for implementing the Kitselas Reserve Lands Management Act (2005). It also provides guidance for the development and implementation of a future Kitselas Zoning Law and Subdivision, Development and Servicing Law and Process which will provide regulations and processes for land use, site development and design and enforcement on Kitselas Reserve lands. All proposed development on Kitselas Reserve lands shall be reviewed for consistency.. Member Engagement Extensive Member engagement was included to develop the 2019 Kitselas Land Use Plan. Opportunities involved land tours, community sessions, youth sessions, Elders’ sessions, community surveys and interactive activities. All input was reviewed, and common themes were identified. Themes were incorporated into the 2019 Land Use Plan as applicable. All input gathered during the 2012 planning process and Phase 1 engagement on the Nation’s CCP was also reviewed and incorporated as applicable.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii An Acoustic Investigation of Vowel Variation Across Dialects of Gitksan By Kyra Ann Fortier (Borland-Walker) BA, University of British Columbia, 2016 Supervisory Committee Dr. Sonya Bird, Supervisor Department of Linguistics, University of Victoria Dr. Alexandra D’Arcy, Departmental Member Department of Linguistics, University of Victoria Dr. Henry Davis, Affiliate Member Department of Linguistics iii Abstract The research question for this thesis is: How does vowel quality vary across Gitksan speakers, and what sociolinguistic factors may be influencing this variation? Answering this question requires both that I show what the variation is, and why it may be that way; I have approached these questions by conducting a study in two parts. First, I conducted a demographic survey and ethnographically-informed qualitative interview with nine Gitksan speakers. Second, I performed an acoustic analysis of vowel variation across these same speakers. The acoustic results lead me to conclude that the low and front vowels show the most variation between speakers. My findings allowed me to add to our understanding of individual variation across speakers and communities. Although further investigation is needed to come to a conclusion about the generalizability of these results, the overarching contribution of my work is to add phonetic detail to previous descriptions of variation between speakers within the Interior Tsimshianic dialect continuum.

  • An Historic Event in the Political Economy of the Tsimshian : Information on the Ownership of the Zimacord District* JAMES ANDREW Mcdonald
    An Historic Event in the Political Economy of the Tsimshian : Information on the Ownership of the Zimacord District* JAMES ANDREW McDONALD This paper reconstructs and presents a bit of ethnographic information that is based upon a piece of the oral history of the Tsimshian people,, a society native to what is now northwestern British Columbia. The value of the history lies not only in the events described, but also in the illustra­ tion it provides of relationships between a set of houses in two neighbour­ ing villages prior to the Canadian Confederation. In the history can be seen several aspects of the old property relationships under which the Tsimshian lived, as well as an outline of their social organization. Anthropologically understood, property is a socially embedded defini­ tion of relationships between persons within a society. The property piece itself, not necessarily a material object, is a mediation of these relation­ ships, a focus of attention for how persons and groups are to relate to one another. Thus, property defines the rights and obligations people and groups have to each other, setting the limits to the use of the property while demanding adherence to the dominant mores of the community, and re-establishing these relationships in the process. Any particular form of property is always stamped by the impression of the society in which it exists and by which it is defined. In the story about the Zimacord District lies the mark of Tsimshian society attempt­ ing to re-assert proper practices towards territorial resource property, and to justify a particular arrangement of ownership, in this case that of the acquisition of property by one group from another.

  • Declaration of the Kitsumkalum Indian Band of the Tsimshian Nation of Aboriginal Title and Rights to Prince Rupert Harbour and Surrounding Coastal Areas
    DECLARATION OF THE KITSUMKALUM INDIAN BAND OF THE TSIMSHIAN NATION OF ABORIGINAL TITLE AND RIGHTS TO PRINCE RUPERT HARBOUR AND SURROUNDING COASTAL AREAS I. Introduction This declaration is made by the Elected and Hereditary Chiefs of the Kitsumkalum Indian Band (“Kitsumkalum”) on behalf of all Kitsumkalum. Kitsumkalum is a strong, proud part of the Tsimshian Nation. We take exception to attempts to deny us our rightful place within the Tsimshian Nation, and to deny us our rightful place on the coast, with its sites and resources that are an integral part of who we are. This denial is more than an attempt to separate us from our lands and resources, it is an assault on who we are as people. We are supposed to be moving forward with Canada and British Columbia in a spirit of recognition and reconciliation. Instead, we are met with denial and resistance. In this declaration, we once again assert who we are and what is ours. We are a part of the Tsimshian Nation that exclusively occupied the Prince Rupert Harbour and surrounding coastal and inland areas prior to and as of 1846. Within that area, we hold exclusive ownership over and responsibity for specific sites in accordance with ayaawx, Tsimshian Law. We have aboriginal rights to fish, harvest, gather and engage in cultural and spiritual activities throughout the coastal part of our territory. There is much at stake – in particular with a Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) industry at our doorstep. It is only through recognition on the part of Canada and British Columbia of our rights and title and an acknowledgement of your legal obligations to consult meaningfully with us that we can move forward in a spirit of mutual respect and work to achieve results for our mutual benefit.

  • Tsimshian Wil'naat'ał and Society
    Tsimshian Wil’naat’ał and Society: Historicising Tsimshian Social Organization James A. McDonald Introduction ot far from Gitxaała are the people who live inside the mists of the Skeena River. Connected to Gitxaała by the familial ties of kinship and chiefly designs, theN eleven Aboriginal communities of the lower Skeena River also are part of the Tsimshian Nation. The prevailing understanding of Tsimshian social organization has long been clouded in a fog of colonialism. The resulting interpretation of the indigenous prop- erty relations marches along with the new colonial order but is out of step with values expressed in the teachings of the wilgagoosk – the wise ones who archived their knowledge in the historical narratives called adaawx and other oral sources. This chapter reviews traditional and contemporary Tsimshian social structures to argue that the land owning House (Waap1) and Clan (Wil’naat’ał) have been demoted in importance in favour of the residential and political communities of the tribe (galts’ap). Central to my argument is a critical analysis of the social importance of the contemporary Indian Reserve villages that is the basis of much political, cultural, and economic activity today. The perceived centrality of these settlements and their associated tribes in Tsimshian social structure has become a historical canon accepted by missionaries, politicians, civil servants, historians, geographers, archaeologists, and many “armchair” anthropologists. This assumption is a convention that loosens the Aboriginal ties to the land and resources and is attractive for the colonial society. It is a belief that has been normalized within the colonized worldview as the basis for relationships in civil society.

  • DEFINING the MIDDLE PERIOD Fjsoo BP to 1500 BPJ in Tsimshian History Through a Comparison of Archaeological and Oral Records
    DEFINING THE MIDDLE PERIOD fjSoo BP to 1500 BPJ in Tsimshian History through a Comparison of Archaeological and Oral Records ANDREW R.C. MARTINDALE AND SUSAN MARSDEN INTRODUCTION NDIGENOUS ORAL TRADITIONS are compelling sources of information for archaeologists. They represent situated narratives on culture Iand history, which introduce a people's record of their history to the otherwise materialist database of archaeology. Archaeologists routinely make comparisons between indigenous cultures and archae­ ological data, either in the form of generalized analogies or as direct historical analogies between ethnographically known cultures and their archaeologically known antecedents. The use of indigenous oral narratives in archaeology is less common, although much of what is known ethnographically is based on the indigenous oral record. Several successful comparisons are known, however (Klimko andTaft 1990; MacDonald 1984; Marsden 2000; Martindale 1999a; Sharpe andTunbridge 1997). In this paper, we compare archaeological data for the cultural history of theTsimshian people of the northern Northwest Coast of North America to information from their oral histories. Analysis of archaeological data and indigenous oral records presents distinct but comparable views of Tsimshian history. We discuss the history of the Tsimshian from about 3,500 to 1,500 years ago and argue that such a comparison clarifies an evolving pattern of settlement that earlier interpretations of the Tsimshian have not brought into focus. Specifically, we argue that, during the Middle Period between 3,500 and 2,000 years ago, the northern Tsimshian area (Figure 1) consisted of two settlement regions, one on the coast north of the mouth of the Skeena River and the other in the interior around Kitselas Canyon.

  • Bibliography of British Columbia Archaeology
    Bibliography of British Columbia Archaeology In the first BC Studies "Special Issue" on archaeology in 1970 I compiled an initial twenty-five page "Bibliography of Archaeology in British Colum­ bia" which listed most publications about British Columbian prehistory up to that time. That bibliography proved a useful tool for British Columbia archaeologists, and was partially updated in the 1980-81 "Special Issue." That included another twenty pages of references, although there was no intent to make that listing fully comprehensive. In tune with the accelerating pace of change in almost all aspects of modern life, since 1981-82 there has been a veritable explosion in the quantity of material written about British Columbia prehistory. Keeping abreast of that information has been distinctly challenging for even pro­ fessional archaeologists, and much of it has fallen beyond the reach of other British Columbians, including the politicians and bureaucrats who exert some control over how archaeology is carried out in this province. At the very least, there should be a basic bibliographic file of professional articles and papers so that interested observers can easily determine what has been written about their favourite area or topic. Thus, I hope the following bibliography will provide an initial view of the large body of written information about British Columbia's prehistory, and prove a useful tool for both archaeologists and non-archaeologists. I have tried to compile all significant monographs, books, and journal articles of any date not listed in the two previous bibliographies, although naturally most references post-date 1980. I have also included many graduate theses bearing on British Columbian prehistory from the three universities (British Columbia, Simon Fraser, and Victoria) as well as many of the longer and more significant unpublished "permit-reports," or "Cultural Resource Management reports," submitted to government or industry.
