Stehekin River Classification
Stehekin Wild & Scenic River Eligibility Report FINAL DRAFT May 2002 Acknowledgments . The National Park Service gratefully acknowledges the support and assistance of the U.S. Forest Service Wenatchee and Okanogan National Forests – their assistance was critical in this report’s development. Special thanks also to the staff at the North Cascades National Park for helping to make the field work a very pleasant and informative experience. Executive Summary This study report evaluates the eligibility and classification of the Stehekin River watershed, located in the North Cascades Mountains of Washington State, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (National System). This evaluation is done partially in settlement of a cause of action brought by the North Cascades Conservation Council1, but primarily as a Department of the Interior requirement for normal management planning processes. The Stehekin River and its tributaries constitute a comparatively small watershed. Most of the natural and cultural resources found in the watershed are dependent not just on the main stem of the Stehekin River, but also on its tributaries. There is also no clear demarcation between most resources throughout the watershed. For these reasons, it is appropriate to consider the entire Stehekin River system as a single unit for the purposes of this evaluation, with the exception of classifying segments of the river as described later. Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Act), the river must meet physical requirements (eligibility). These physical requirements are: 1) the river must be free-flowing; and 2) the river must have at least one resource important or unique to the region or nation. -

Where the Water Meets the Land: Between Culture and History in Upper Skagit Aboriginal Territory
Where the Water Meets the Land: Between Culture and History in Upper Skagit Aboriginal Territory by Molly Sue Malone B.A., Dartmouth College, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2013 © Molly Sue Malone, 2013 Abstract Upper Skagit Indian Tribe are a Coast Salish fishing community in western Washington, USA, who face the challenge of remaining culturally distinct while fitting into the socioeconomic expectations of American society, all while asserting their rights to access their aboriginal territory. This dissertation asks a twofold research question: How do Upper Skagit people interact with and experience the aquatic environment of their aboriginal territory, and how do their experiences with colonization and their cultural practices weave together to form a historical consciousness that orients them to their lands and waters and the wider world? Based on data from three methods of inquiry—interviews, participant observation, and archival research—collected over sixteen months of fieldwork on the Upper Skagit reservation in Sedro-Woolley, WA, I answer this question with an ethnography of the interplay between culture, history, and the land and waterscape that comprise Upper Skagit aboriginal territory. This interplay is the process of historical consciousness, which is neither singular nor sedentary, but rather an understanding of a world in flux made up of both conscious and unconscious thoughts that shape behavior. I conclude that the ways in which Upper Skagit people interact with what I call the waterscape of their aboriginal territory is one of their major distinctive features as a group. -

DOCUMENT RESUME ED 419 409 FL 025 252 AUTHOR Anderson, Gregory D. S. TITLE Reduplicated Numerals in Salish. PUB DATE 1997-00-00 NOTE 11p.; For complete volume, see FL 025 251. PUB TYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics; v22 n2 p1-10 1997 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the -

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. -
SKAGIT COOPERATIVE WEED MANAGEMENT AREA Upper Skagit Knotweed Control Program 2013 Season Ending Report
SKAGIT COOPERATIVE WEED MANAGEMENT AREA Upper Skagit Knotweed Control Program 2013 Season Ending Report Sauk River during 2013 knotweed surveys. Prepared by: Michelle Murphy Stewardship Manager Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group PO Box 2497 Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Introduction In the 2013 season, the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG) and our partners with the Skagit Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) or Skagit Knotweed Working Group, completed extensive surveys of rivers and streams in the Upper Skagit watershed, treating knotweed in a top-down, prioritized approach along these waterways, and monitoring a large percentage of previously recorded knotweed patches in the Upper Skagit watershed. We continued using the prioritization strategy developed in 2009 to guide where work is completed. SFEG contracted with the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) crew and rafting companies to survey, monitor and treat knotweed patches. In addition SFEG was assisted by the DNR Aquatics Puget Sound Corps Crew (PSCC) in knotweed survey and treatment. SFEG and WCC also received on-the-ground assistance in our efforts from several Skagit CWMA partners including: U.S. Forest Service, Seattle City Light and the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe. The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe received a grant from the EPA in 2011 to do survey and treatment work on the Lower Sauk River and in the town of Darrington through 2013. This work was done in coordination with SFEG’s Upper Skagit Knotweed Control Project. The knotweed program met its goal of surveying and treating both the upper mainstem floodplains of the Sauk and Skagit Rivers. SFEG and WCC surveyed for knotweed from May through June and then implemented treatment from July until the first week of September. -

Chapter Two: the Background on Skwxwú7mesh
Chapter Two: The Background on Skwxwú7mesh 1 Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to explore the semantics of Skwxwú7mesh D-determiners, and to compare them to English D-determiners. 1 In this chapter I provide some background to facilitate understanding of the proposals made in the next few chapters. In particular, I give an overview of the syntax and morphology of Skwxwú7mesh as these topics are necessary for understanding the data and analysis provided later in the thesis. I begin with the language family. Skwxwú7mesh is a Central (or Coast) Salish language spoken in southwestern British Columbia. The list of Salish languages is given in Table 2.1 below. Languages marked with * are extinct. 1 Recall that this term does not include quantifiers, numerals or demonstratives. 13 Branch Language Dialects Nuxalk (Bella Coola) Central Salish Comox Sliammon, Klahoose, Homalko, Island Comox Pentlatch* Sechelt Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Halkomelem Chilliwack/Upriver Halkomelem, Musqueam, Nanaimo/Cowichan Nooksack* Northern Straits Semiahmoo, Saanich, Lummi, Songish, Samish, Sooke Klallam Lushootseed Northern, Southern Twana* Tillamook* Tsamosan Upper Chehalis Satsop, Oakville, Tenino Cowlitz* Lower Chehalis Quinault* Interior Northern St’át’imcets (Lillooet) Mount Currie/Lower Lillooet, Fountain/Upper Lillooet N®e÷kepmxcín (Thompson) Secwepemctsín (Shuswap) Eastern, Western Southern Okanagan Northern, Southern/Colville Moses-Columbian Kalispel Spokane, Kalispel, Flathead Coeur d’Alene Table 2.1: The Salish language family (adapted from Thompson and Kinkade 1990: 34-35) The D-determiner systems of some of these languages will be addressed in Chapter 6. Skwxwú7mesh is extremely endangered. There are fewer than twenty speakers remaining. I worked with seven native speakers (five female and two male) in order to gather the data necessary for this dissertation. -

Shaking Up Christianity: The Indian Shaker Church in the Canada-U.S. Pacific Northwest* Susan Neylan / Wilfrid Laurier University The National Film Board of Canada documentary film O’Siem opens with a contemporary Native American man, Gene Harry, singing and passing his hands over the body of a badly injured man lying unconscious in a hospital bed.1 Harry is an Indian Shaker Church minister and, as he describes his approach to healing this man, the juxtaposition between native and Christian spirit ways is apparent: The first time I got a call from Will’s brother Joe, he said that he had a few hours to be with us. When I entered the door and saw the condition of Will, burnt up in a fire, bandaged from his knees to his head, I was shaking inside.
