Title: Unification of Naasquuisaqs and Tl’aakwakumlth Designers: Denise Nicole Green, Cornell University & Haa’yuups (Ron Hamilton), Hupacasath First Nation Keywords: Native American, Hupacasath, Nuu-chah-nulth, Indigenous Fashion Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations hail from the West coast of Vancouver Island and are a confederacy of 14 smaller sovereign nations. According to their traditional beliefs, they have occupied these territories since iikmuut (the time before time) and archaeological evidence from this region confirms occupation for at least 5000 years (McMillan 2000). Like other Northwest Coast indigenous peoples, Nuu-chah-nulth social organization is complex and reflected in design practice and iconography (Holm 2014; Jonaitis 2006). Families own crests, which are iconographic imagery that represent histories, rights, and privileges (Green 2014). -

From this recognition emerged, in 1990, the duty to consult as part of the justification framework allowing for the infringementsW of Aboriginal rights.2 The Supreme Court of Canada then went on to establish, in 2004, the duty to consult and, if appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal groups when the Crown undertakes an action or decision that could adversely affect their rights. -

The Islands Trust Council has been advocating to senior governments about oil spill issues since 1979 and has many concerns related to oil spill preparedness and response. Even a small oil spill within the Islands Trust Area could have devastating impacts on the abundant biodiversity of the region and could significantly affect species already at risk, as well harm the livability and economic well-being of local communities. The Islands Trust Policy Statement, a statutory document founded in extensive community consultation and approved in 1994 by the then Minister of Municipal Affairs, encourages provincial and federal agencies to ensure safe shipment of materials hazardous to the environment. -

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.
