Abstract Zooarchaeological data reported from twenty-two Developed Coast Salish horizon (1500 years before present to European contact) sites in the southern Strait of Georgia region were compared with subsistence information from regional ethnographies in an attempt to discover whether the ethnographic record is an accurate portrayal of 1ate prehistoric subsistence. Additional data coll ected during the 1984 and 1985 excavations from DeRt 1 on Pender Island, British Columbia were included in the comparisons. Cluster analyses of the zooarchaeological data showed that sites excavated in a similar manner tended to fall in the same cluster, indicating that archaeological methods were strongly i nfl uenci ng perceptions of regional subsistence patterns. Mammal assembl ages were dominated by ungulates and canids. The dominance of wapiti on main1 and sites contradicts the ethnographic record, which stated that wapiti were a staple only on Vancouver Island. Sea mammals were a minor component of the mammal assemblages. Not surprisingly, waterfowl were the most commonly identified birds recovered from the sites. As predicted from the ethnographic record, salmonids figured prominently, and were identified in all Strait of Georgia sites.

  • Historylink.Org Supplement for Washington: a State of Contrasts
    Photo of Gatewood School students on last day of school, Seattle, June 17, 1949. Courtesy Museum of History & Industry. HistoryLink.org Supplement for Washington: A State of Contrasts 1 Washington: A State of Contrasts has been identified as the most commonly used Washington state History textbook for 7th and 8th grades for the 2011-12 school year. Using this textbook as a base for identifying the specific themes and topics that are being covered in required Pacific Northwest History middle school classes, the Education Team at HistoryLink.org has created this supplement for teacher and students. This supplement was developed as a tool to assist in identifying HistoryLink.org essays that can be used to study and research the state history themes and topic in more depth. The name of each relevant essay is listed as well as the abstract, number, and link to the full essay. This supplement also aids HistoryLink.org in identifying general or specific topics for which more essays are needed or would be helpful in the Washington state History classroom. In addition, as a part of this exercise, HistoryLink.org staff assigned appropriate key words to selected essays to match those used in this textbook. A set of HistoryLink Elementary essays was added to the HistoryLink encyclopedia in 2014. (http://www.historylink.org/Index.cfm?DisplayPage=education/elementary- educators.cfm.) These essays were written for beginning readers who are studying Washington state history or anyone who wants to learn more about Washington. They may be helpful for some of your students. All HistoryLink Elementary essays are based on existing HistoryLink essays.

No mitigation was requested for gathering places by Aseniwuche Winewak Nation. Sacred Sites Aseniwuche Winewak Nation community members did not identify specific sacred sites during the TLU for the Project. Community members explained that the Hinton area is culturally important and presently used by Aseniwuche Winewak Nation community members, whereas the Valemount area is also culturally important, but not currently used. Community members did not expect to find sacred sites during ground reconnaissance due to extensive industrial development in Hinton and surrounding areas (Aseniwuche Environmental Corporation 2013). Aseniwuche Winewak Nation requested notification if culturally relevant sites are found during Project construction and that the sites are protected by a 100 m buffer. 5.2 Hargreaves to Darfield Segment The results of TLU studies conducted to date have identified TLU sites potentially affected by the Hargreaves to Darfield segment and associated Project components requiring mitigation. 5.2.1 Lheidli T’enneh Lheidli T’enneh elected to conduct a third-party TLU study for the Project. A third-party consultant, Chignecto Consulting Group conducted a map review, community interviews and ground reconnaissance that focused on Crown lands within the asserted traditional territory of Lheidli T’enneh. The findings of the TLU study have not been reviewed or approved by Lheidli T’enneh Chief and Council or community. The interim report is considered draft and any changes resulting from review with the Lheidli T’enneh community will be incorporated into the final report.

  • Border and the Divided Salish Community
    THE "REALLY REAL" BORDER AND THE DIVIDED SALISH COMMUNITY BRUCE MILLER HE CURRENT ACADEMIC CLIMATE is predisposed to the crossing of intellectual, disciplinary, political, and cultural boundaries.1 TEfforts to connect the global and the local and to transcend boundaries, however, run the risk of becoming institutionalized into newer, non-critical, docile forms of knowledge production that overlook the local concerns of Aboriginal peoples. Scheper-Hughes points ascerbically to this problem: In the brave new world of reflexive postmodernists . everything local is said to dissolve into merged media images, transgressed boundaries, [and] promiscuously mobile multinational industries and workers . The flight from the local in hot pursuit of a transnational, borderless anthropology implies a parallel flight from local engagements, local commitments. Once the circuits of power are seen as capillary, diffuse, global, and difficult to trace to their sources, the idea of resistance becomes meaningless. The idea of an anthropology without borders . ignores the reality of the very real borders that confront and oppress "our" anthropological subjects. These borders are as real as the passports and passbooks, the sandbagged bunkers, the armed roadblocks . The anthropology that most Cape Town Xhosa, Venda . and Moslem students want is not the anthropology of deconstruction and the social imaginary, but the anthropology of the really real, in which the stakes are high. (Scheper-Hughes 1995, 417) This article attempts to address the "really real" of the international boundary dividing Canada from the United States, British Columbia 1 In recent years "cultural borders" has been the theme of academic meetings in many disciplines. The recent interest within anthropology builds on an older tradition of the study of "borderlands" (Alvarez 1995, 449)- Borderlands are thought to be sites of conflict and contradiction, to generate their own cultures, to be the meeting ground of the First and Third Worlds.
