You are greatly missed. iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines how three unique, isolated maritime communities located off the coast of British Columbia, Canada have responded to significant obstacles. Over a century ago, disillusioned Finnish immigrants responded to the lethal conditions of the coal mines they laboured in by creating Sointula, a socialist utopia. The ‘Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay, a group of the Kwakwaka’wakw peoples, have recently developed a land-based fish farm, Kuterra, in response to an ocean-based fish farming industry that threatens the wild salmon they have survived on since time immemorial. Lasqueti Island residents have responded to exclusion from access to traditional power sources by implementing self-generating, renewable energy into their off-grid community.

Japanese and Caucasians Meet at New Denver
IF THE CEDARS COULD SPEAK: Japanese and Caucasians Meet at New Denver PATRICIA ROY UNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of movie watchers glimpsed a scene on a mountain bench without knowing its real story. A wall H of cedar trees obscures the mountain. Directly in front of them, a tiny cabin, neatly constructed of rough-hewn, seemingly weather- beaten cedar slats looks out over a pasture and towards the water. In the film, Snow Falling on Cedars, based on David Guterson's best selling novel,1 it is the prewar home of a Japanese family on San Piedro Island (Bainbridge Island) in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. The movie features a romantic interracial entanglement, but the book revolves around the death in 1954 of Carl Heine and the murder trial of Kabuo Miyamoto, another fisher. Miyamoto's alleged motive was to regain the farm that he believed Heine's family stole in 1942 after the Miyamotos were sent to the Manzanar internment camp and could not make the final payments. What purports to be Puget Sound is Slocan Lake, and the cabin is a movie set. If the cedars could speak, they would note the irony. From 1942 until shortly after the war the pasture was part of the Harris, or Bosun, Ranch, which the British Columbia Security Commission, the federal agency responsible for the resettlement of the Japanese, leased and used to house evacuees from the Coast. The ranch was the south end of the New Denver evacuation centre, which included a main settlement in the Orchard at the townsite, and another settlement at the nearby community of Rosebery.2 1 David Guterson, Snow Falling on Cedars (New York: Harcourt Brace, 1994).

Back-To-The-Land on the Gulf Islands and Cape Breton
Making Place on the Canadian Periphery: Back-to-the-Land on the Gulf Islands and Cape Breton by Sharon Ann Weaver A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Sharon Ann Weaver, July 2013 ABSTRACT MAKING PLACE ON THE CANADIAN PERIPHERY: BACK-TO- THE-LAND ON THE GULF ISLANDS AND CAPE BRETON Sharon Ann Weaver Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Professor D. McCalla This thesis investigates the motivations, strategies and experiences of a movement that saw thousands of young and youngish people permanently relocate to the Canadian countryside during the 1970s. It focuses on two contrasting coasts, Denman, Hornby and Lasqueti Islands in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, and three small communities near Baddeck, Cape Breton. This is a work of oral history, based on interviews with over ninety people, all of whom had lived in their communities for more than thirty years. It asks what induced so many young people to abandon their expected life course and take on a completely new rural way of life at a time when large numbers were leaving the countryside in search of work in the cities. It then explores how location and the communities already established there affected the initial process of settlement. Although almost all back-to-the-landers were critical of the modern urban and industrial project; they discovered that they could not escape modern capitalist society. However, they were determined to control their relationship to the modern economic system with strategies for building with found materials, adopting older ways and technologies for their homes and working off-property as little as possible.
