  • COLONIAL VESTIGES: Representing Forest Landscapes on Canada's West Coast
    COLONIAL VESTIGES: Representing Forest Landscapes on Canada's West Coast BRUCE WILLEMS-BRAUN INTRODUCTION: COLONIAL LEGACIES What "post-colonial" certainly is not is one of those periodisations based on epochal "stages," when everything is reversed at the same moment, all the old relations disappear for ever and entirely new ones come to replace them. Clearly the disengagement from the colonizing process has been a long, drawn-out and differentiated affair. (Hall 1996, 247) PEAKING BEFORE THE PEARSE COMMISSION IN 1975, Simon Lucas, then chair of the West Coast District Council of Indian S Chiefs, outlined his people's frustrations: "We feel more isolated from the resources to which we have claim than at any time in the past," to which he added simply, "this is becoming more so."1 This poignant statement articulated the experience of many Natives during and after the rapid expansion and consolidation of British Columbia's coastal forest industry in the 1950s and 1960s. In the twenty years preceding the commission, traditional "Nootka" territories on the west coast of Vancouver Island had been rationalized within the regional and global space-economies of industrial capitalism and in the interests of investors and forestry-based communities far removed from their villages. Segregated on reserves and surrounded by forests of immeasurable value, the Nootka increasingly found that they had almost no access to the resource wealth of their lands (except on the shifting margins of the White 1 Pearse Commission public hearings, Victoria, 30 October 1975. Until the 1980s, anthropologists referred to the indigenous peoples of the west side of Vancouver Island as the "Nootka," an appellation commonly attributed to Captain Cook.

The challenge is not to prevent conflict or even to resolve it, but rather, to effectively manage it so that it does not paralyse people. Historically, Gitksan society managed conflict through their legal traditions and governance practices, and I argue that it is the undermining of this conflict management system that has generated the pervasive conflicts among the Gitksan people today.

Ond Sociology The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Apr.'l 2-5, 2-OQ3 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Making a documentary film that features human beings as subjects requires extensive thought about the potential impact on the actual lives of people. Similarly, the pursuit of anthropological knowledge via social science research also affects individuals and communities. Along with this awesome power that documentary filmmaking and anthropological research have to change peoples' lives, comes a heavy responsibility to use this power in an ethical way. By examining the cross-sections between documentary filmmaking and anthropological research, I have found several intersections of ethical considerations that seem pertinent to both fields.
