The purpose of the Project is to prevent and reduce flood damage on infrastructure, water courses, and people in the City of Calgary and downstream communities.

  • PICTURES BRING US MESSAGES7 / SINAAKSSIIKSI AOHTSIMAAHPIHKOOKIYAAWA: PHOTOGRAPHS and HISTORIES from the KAINAI NATION in 1925
    'PICTURES BRING US MESSAGES7 / SINAAKSSIIKSI AOHTSIMAAHPIHKOOKIYAAWA: PHOTOGRAPHS AND HISTORIES FROM THE KAINAI NATION In 1925, Beatrice Blackwood of the University of Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum took thirty-three photographs of Kainai people on the Blood Indian Reserve in Alberta as part of an anthropological project. In 2001, staff from the museum took copies of these photographs back to the Kainai and worked with community members to try to gain a better understanding of their perspectives on the images. 'Pictures Bring Us Messages' is about that process, about why museum professionals and archivists must work with such communities, and about some of the considerations that need to be addressed when doing so. Exploring the meanings that historic photographs have for source communities, Alison K. Brown, Laura Peers, and members of the Kainai Nation develop and demonstrate culturally appropriate ways of re- searching, curating, archiving, accessing, and otherwise using museum and archival collections. The very process of building ties between museum and community has been crucial to the research and to the current and future benefits of this new relationship. Although the 'Pic- tures Bring Us Messages' project was based in Canada, its dynamics are relevant to indigenous peoples and heritage institutions around the world. ALISON K. BROWN is a research fellow with the Department of Anthro- pology at the University of Aberdeen. LAURA PEERS is a lecturer and curator with the Pitt Rivers Museum and the School of Anthropology at the University of Oxford.

  • Report on the Blood Tribe (Kainai Nation): Community Vulnerabilities
    Report on the Blood Tribe (Kainai Nation): community vulnerabilities DRAFT Lorenzo Magzul (with Alejandro Rojas) IACC Project, Unit 1 A: An assessment of vulnerabilities of rural communities and households to water related climate conditions (Chile and Canada DRAFT Report on Blood Tribe (Kainai Nation): community vulnerabilities 2 Introduction According to the Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (IAV) report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ICPCC) (2001), the provision of basic food, clean water and other basic needs for the poor is one of the greatest challenges for societies today. The report (2001) also suggests that climate change impacts affect the poor sectors of society most because they are likely more exposed, have less ability to adapt and therefore more vulnerable to the impacts. Thus, for the poor sectors of society, their vulnerability to climate change impacts further limits their opportunities for equitable standards of living. Indigenous peoples from around the world have stated in the Indigenous Peoples Kyoto Water Declaration that “the most vulnerable communities to climate change are Indigenous Peoples and impoverished local communities occupying marginal rural and urban environments” (http://www.indigenouswater.org/IndigenousDeclarationonWater.html). The ICPCC’s 2001 IAV report also states that for indigenous people the change from a livelihood of subsistence—which was much more flexible to climate variability—to a form of livelihood more closely linked to commercial activities reduces their coping
