The AIA was conducted by Crossroads CRM for BC Hydro and the Penticton Indian Band on September 8, 2014 under Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) permit: 2014-0179 held by Meghan Fisher. The survey included comprehensive survey coverage by a crew of five. Many large and small surface exposures were inspected as well as tree-throws. A total of 15 negative subsurface tests were excavated on two small landforms. No protected archaeological sites or non-protected cultural heritage sites were identified within the study area. This report does not attempt to address cultural or heritage resources and values that are not protected that may be present on the property and potentially significant to the Penticton Indian Band or First Nations who have expressed an interest in this area. For the development assessed by this study it is recommended that no further archaeological work is required, provided that the boundary of the development does not extend beyond the study area covered by the AIA. The probability of discovering archaeological sites in the area surveyed and assessed is considered to be low. However, in the event that unanticipated archaeological resources are discovered during construction, management recommendations are provided in the report to ensure that such discoveries are managed in compliance with the Penticton Indian Band and First Nations who have an interest in the area and the Heritage Conservation Act. The distribution list for this final report includes: the Archaeology Branch, BC Hydro, Penticton Indian Band, and the following First Nations listed in the Provincial Areas Database; Esh-kn-em CRM Services, Nooaitch Indian Band, Okanagan Indian Band, Upper Nicola, Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Okanagan Nation Alliance, Nicola Tribal Association, Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council, Lower Nicola Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Oregon Jack Creek Band. 4 CrossroadsCRM.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Crossroads CRM would like to thank the following people for their help and cooperation during this project: Carrie Terbasket of Penticton Indian Band for coordinating with BC Hydro and Crossroads CRM; BC Hydro for providing the funding; Eva Brooke of BC Hydro; Penticton Indian Band for managing the contract; Dominique (Nikki) King, Reynold Phillip, and Kathy Phillip for assisting with the fieldwork; Gary Brewer of the Archaeology Branch for his assistance with the permitting process and review of this report. limləmt 5 CrossroadsCRM.com LIST OF FIGURES 1.

The subject property is located near Summerland on the Isintok-Mcnulty Forest Service Road (FSR), with legal description: PID 027411729, PT DL 3781 KAP PLAN 86080 ODYD (Figures 1 – 3). Neither plans for the potential facility, nor footprint location have been developed as of September 8, 2014.

At this time, BC Hydro does not have a final design or footprint location for the development and as such chose to have the entire parcel undergo an archaeological impact assessment (AIA) in order to facilitate future development of a capacitor station at a yet unknown location on the parcel. The proposed project extent and level of disturbance include: access roads and turn-around areas, material stock-piles, capacitor station footprint, and associated fencing. The goal of this AIA was to identify areas of archaeological concern in advance of the engineering design phase in order to avoid impacting archaeological sites where possible or to mitigate areas that cannot be avoided by the proposed development in advance of construction design. The project area is located adjacent to the east of a large transmission line Right-of-Way (ROW), and to the south of an existing FSR (Figure 3). It is currently forested with a young stand of trees and has previously undergone forest harvest activities. Evidence of previous land altering activities was observed in the field to have included construction of

  • Backgrounder
    February 2013 BACKGROUNDER South Okanagan/Lower Similkameen National Park Reserve Okanagan Nation Feasibility Study In January 2011 the Government of Canada and the Province of BC released a positive assessment of feasibility that failed to include the Syilx Okanagan Nation perspective and interests. In August 2011 Parks Canada allocated funding to commence work on a Syilx Feasibility Study to allow for the inclusion of the Okanagan Nation perspectives. The Syilx Parks Working Group was formed and given the task to complete the Feasibility Study from an indigenous perspective, with Parks Canada participating as an observer. The Syilx Parks Working Group was composed of Okanagan Nation Alliance and the four southern Okanagan Nation member communities: Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Upper Similkameen Indian Band and the Penticton Indian Band. The study found that it is feasible to explore further discussions with Parks Canada about a future National Park Reserve, so long as Syilx Title, Rights and interests are protected and respected. The Syilx Parks Working Group advocates a collaborative and consensus based model with Parks Canada similar to those in Gwaii Haanas. The Report also found that the current Parks model is insufficient in size to promote the broader vision for protection of Syilx cultural and ecological integrity in the South Okanagan Lower Similkameen. Additional work should be initiated to address the broader Syilx vision for protection of land and culture. A Socio-Cultural, Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment has determined that a National Park Reserve has some potential to provide some additional benefits to Syilx people and culture, through increased research funding and employment opportunities.

  • A Study of the Protocol Agreement Between the Osoyoos Indian Band
    A Study of the Protocol Agreement between the Osoyoos Indian Band and the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen by Levan King Cranston A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 by Levan King Cranston Abstract Protocol Agreements have been used successfully as an intergovernmental relationship- building tool between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments in Canada during the last twenty years. In British Columbia, the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) and neighbouring First Nations governments created a Protocol Agreement that was signed in 2013. The Protocol Agreement has brought governments together where previously a relationship did not exist. The methods used in this research included a document analysis, and interviews with participants from the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) and RDOS. This case study research found that a number of successes have been achieved between the OIB and RDOS, although there are still numerous challenges in the intergovernmental relationship. The research concludes that for regional coexistence of cultures to occur successfully, both parties must have the political will to communicate, collaborate, and engage with their regional partners. All people in the region must sit together for their common good. i Acknowledgments With gratitude I would like to thank the research participants representing the OIB and RDOS who took the time to support my thesis research. Their experience and knowledge has been incredibly helpful in making this a positive learning experience for me.
