A Bibliography of Salish Linguistics
A Bibliography of Salish Linguistics Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Northwest Journal of Linguistics 2.3 A Bibliography of Salish Linguistics Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Abstract This bibliography lists materials (books, articles, conference papers, etc.) on Salish linguistics. As such, it mainly contains grammars, dictionaries, text collections and analyses of individual topics, but it also lists anthropological studies, curriculum materials, text collections in translation, and general survey works that have a sufficiently large Salish linguistic content. Criteria for inclusion of items, and the general methodology for assembling a bibliography of this kind, are discussed in the introduction. The work concludes with a list of abbreviations and a language-based index. This bibliography should be of use to linguists, particularly Salishists, but also to anthropologists and curriculum developers. The bibliography is essentially a sequel to Pilling 1893 (listed in the bibliography), although a number of items listed in that older source are also included here. KEYWORDS: Salish languages and dialects; Salish language family; bibliography; language index Northwest Journal of Linguistics 2.3:1–128 (2008) Table of Contents Introduction 4 Restrictions and criteria 5 General principles 8 The Salish conferences 9 Caveats and disclaimer 9 Salish languages and dialects 10 Bibliography of Salish Linguistics 13 Abbreviations 116 Appendix: Language Index 118 Northwest Journal of Linguistics 2.3:1–128 (2008) A Bibliography of Salish Linguistics Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Introduction.

The Future of Ethnobotany in British Columbia
Conclusions: The Future of Ethnobotany in British Columbia Nancy J. Turner and Dana Lepofsky thnobotany in British Columbia today bears little resemblance to the discipline as practised in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when catalogues of indigenous plant use E(e.g., Gunther 1945; Steedman 1930) or descriptions of extraordinary wood or fibre archaeological artifacts were the norm (e.g., Smith 1899; Hill-Tout 1895). As the articles in this special issue illustrate, the ethnobotany of British Columbia today is vibrant and often practically oriented. The discipline employs cutting-edge scientific methods, strives to integrate Western and non-Western knowledge in effective and respectful ways, and situates plant use within a host of larger social, economic, and ecological systems, both in the past and in the present (e.g., Clayoquot Scientific Panel 1995; Gottesfeld [Johnson] 1994; Lepofsky et al. 2003; Turner and Thompson 2006). Following trends in the discipline of ethnobiology more broadly (Ford 2011; Hunn 2007; Nabhan, Wyndham, and Lepofsky 2011; Wyndham, Lepofsky, and Tiffany 2011), BC ethnobotanical researchers recognize the complex, nuanced integrations of the roles of plants and other organisms in the ecological knowledge, cognitive systems, and practices of cultural groups and of society at large. Increasing the depth, breadth, and integration of ethnobotanical knowledge is bound to continue into the future, with widespread interest and participation by First Nations as they continue their efforts to regain a rightful place in planning, decision making, and the governance of their own territories as well as meaningful consul- tation and engagement in development and other activities that affect their lifeways and relationships with their homelands and resources. -
Port Angeles Celebrates National Native American Heritage Month
Source: Visit Port Angeles October 31, 2019 18:14 ET Port Angeles Celebrates National Native American Heritage Month Here’s a roundup of Native American tribal culture tributes, experiences, and events happening in Port Angeles, Washington PORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The entire Olympic Peninsula is rich in Native American history and culture. The City of Port Angeles celebrates its Native American heritage and local tribes with parks, cultural centers, museums, art exhibits, and year-round events. Even the street signs, and now a park, are in both the English and the Klallam language. We invite you to visit Port Angeles during National Native American Heritage Month or any time of the year to enjoy the City’s rich tribal culture, experiences, and events. There are eight local tribes residing on reservations along the coastal areas of the Peninsula who ceded their land back in 1855 and 1856: Lower Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Skokomish, Quinault, Hoh, Quileute, and Makah. The Klallam people once spanned the entire northern portion of the Olympic Peninsula with 33 villages. CULTURE FAIR The sixth annual Culture Fair, held at the Peninsula College's PUB in Port Angeles, celebrates the college's connection with the local native culture on the Olympic Peninsula. This year's Culture Fair includes a ceremonial tribute that starts with a tribal song welcome by the nəxʷsƛ̕ áy̕əm̕ Lower Elwha Klallam Song and Drum Group followed by the unveiling and hanging of six flags from area tribes -- Lower Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Hoh, Quileute, and Makah -- that will be permanently on display in the student union building. -
A History of Settler Place-Making in Burns Bog, British Columbia
From Reclamation to Conservation: A History of Settler Place-Making in Burns Bog, British Columbia By: Cameron Butler Supervised by: Catriona Sandilands A Major Paper Submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada August 31, 2019 Abstract Wetlands are, in the Canadian settler imaginary, ambiguous spaces that are neither strictly landmasses nor only bodies of water. This paper explores how Canadian settler-colonialism has incorporated wetlands into systems of land ownership and control by tracing the history a specific wetland, a peat bog known as Burns Bog since the 1930s in the area settlers call Delta, British Columbia. Given its presence as one of the largest wetlands in the region, settlers failed to drain the bog in its entirety. As a result, the bog persisted throughout the history of settlers’ presence on the west coast and has been subjected to waves of settler approaches, making it an ideal case study to consider how ongoing settler-colonialism has shaped, and continues to shape, wetlands. Previous historical works on wetlands in Canada and the United States have documented how early settlers, through to roughly the mid-twentieth century, worked to “reclaim” wetlands and transform them into arable land. However, these accounts have often neglected to continue their analysis of settler-colonialism beyond this period and have, as a result, treated settlers’ more contemporary views of wetlands -- as ecologically valuable ecosystems that need to be conserved or restored -- as a break in colonial dynamics. This research intervenes in this existing body of work by treating shifting practices towards wetlands as successive stages in efforts to incorporate wetlands into settler-colonial logics. -

Securing facilitators outside Potlatch Fund allowed Potlatch Fund staff the flexibility to actively listen to participants without the work of running the session and offered a separation from being the leading voice in the room. Potlatch Fund recognizes that this conversation of sustainability must be led from within the people intricately connected to the functioning of Canoe Journey. Potlatch Fund secured funding for participants to be able to attend the convening from: • Anonymous Foundation – Provided funding for lodging, meals, mileage support and facilitation. • The Suquamish Tribe – Provided funding for facilitation and hosted the Community Dinner. • Port Madison Enterprises – Provided support for lodging, meals and transportation. • The Whitener Group – Provided support for facilitation. • American Friends Service Committee – Provided additional mileage support. Though Potlatch Fund staff selected the participants, the intent of the session was to fill the recent perceived gap in the tribal journey planning process, which was the need for someone to bring together different stakeholders from tribal journeys (skippers, grant writers, funders, pullers, ground crew, canoe families and others) and begin a conversation about the sustainability of tribal journeys.
