Meet the Harvest Your Family Tree Roster of Speakers To read the complete bios of the speakers and to download the conference brochure visit the KDGS website www.kdgs.ca Ann ten Cate is an archivist and program producer with the Royal BC Museum. She is an impassioned ad- vocate for archives and their significance for us all - whether as tools for family and community history or as a way to learn about our collective history. After more than 20 years of reference and processing work in the BC Archives, she is still finding new and fascinating archival sources which genealogists overlook or dismiss because they can’t see the connection to their own story. Ann is an impassioned advocate for archives. She is a history graduate of the University of Toronto, and has worked in a number of different types of archives in Ontario and BC. May Chan was born and raised in Melville, Saskatchewan. She graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2005 with a Master of Archival Studies (MAS) and a Master of Library & Information Studies (MLIS). After graduation, she worked as a reference archivist at the City of Surrey Archives and a library cataloguer at the Van- couver Maritime Museum before pouncing on the opportunity to move back to her home province in late 2006. Since then, May has been the Prairie History Librarian at Regina Public Library in Regina, Saskatchewan. She spends the majority of her time providing reference service, maintaining the li- brary’s local history and genealogy collection, delivering a variety of public programs and writing for the award-winning Prairie History Blog (www.reginalibrary.ca/prairiehistoryblog). Dave Obee is a journalist and genealogical researcher and has been researching his own family history since 1978. He has written a dozen books and given more than 400 presentations at conferences and seminars in Canada and the United States. In 2012, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Laws by the University of Victoria. Dave is the Editor in Chief of the Times Colonist newspaper in Victoria, BC. In 2012, the British Columbia Historical Federation announced that Dave's 2011 book, The Library Book: A History of Service to British Columbia, had been judged one of the top three examples of historical writing in the province. Dave is the co-author (with Sherry Irvine) of Finding Your Canadian Ancestors: A Begin- ner's Guide. Dwight Radford is a professional genealogist residing near Salt Lake City, Utah. He specializes in Irish and Irish immigration research. Since Irish is among some of the most difficult genealogy to research, Dwight is constantly looking for "thinking outside the box" strategies through which he can approach and solve genealogical problems. He writes an Irish blog on his website www.thejourneyhomegenealogy.com where you can always expect the unexpected. He is also the co-author of A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your Irish Ancestors (2001, 2012). His prime love is documenting the old home sites for his clients. Dwight’s own descent is from the original Scots- Irish families who settled in the American Colonies of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten- nessee. Originally from Tennessee, Dwight left in 1985 and moved to Salt Lake City to develop a career as a professional genealogist. Page 4 The Okanagan Researcher Volume 30 Number 4 June 2014 Helen V. Smith has been researching her family since 1986 when her Mother lamented the fact she had never known her Grandfather, George Howard Busby. Helen found some information and a newspaper photo of him, was hooked and has been addicted ever since with research in Australia, Ireland and lots of English research. Helen is the author of Death Certificates and Archaic Medical Terms and has written for a number of publications including Inside History, Australian Family Tree Connections, Forgotten Times, family history journals and scientific publications. Professionally, Helen is a Molecular Epidemi- ologist specialising in Public Health Microbiology and has a strong interest in infectious diseases and Public Health through the ages. Xenia Stanford, a professional genealogist with 35+ years’ experience, has written many articles for genealogy magazines and was editor when Chinook, the newsletter of the Alberta Family Histories Society, twice won best local society newsletter from NEGHS. Formerly a teacher, educational researcher, corporate librarian and archivist, she now devotes her time to genealogical research, writing books and editing memoirs. Her areas of expertise include Métis, First Nations, French North America, Canadian History, Eastern Europe, workplace records, preservation techniques and writing memoirs. She has a B. Ed. in Secondary English and History as well as coursework towards B.A. (Hons) and M.A. (Hons) in English literature and linguistics. Published in Chinook, Family Chronicle, History Magazine, Michigan’s Habitant Heritage, Lifelines (Plattsburg, New York) and May- rand Magazine, she is also a former columnist of “Nos Racines Francaises” for Global Genealogy, Obituari- eshelp.org blog and contributor to several online genealogy forums.

  • Gitksan Cultural Retention in Christianized Houses And
    GITKSAN CULTURAL RETENTION IN CHRISTIANIZED HOUSES AND SPACE By GARVEY SOOSAY Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. Leslie Main Johnson in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta June, 2010 1 Abstract The Gitksan culture of the Northern British Columbia has survived in spite of religious and government assaults. Many First Nations have a pride towards their culture partly due to the early efforts of their elders who tried their best to resist assimilation. Yet in spite of assimilative methods and strategies of missionaries, the Gitksan took a proactive role in allowing the missionaries to assist them to cope with the expanding western institutions in British Columbia. Scholars such as Ronald Wright (1992)1, Thomas Berger (1992)2 and Elizabeth Furniss (1995)3 have centered their studies on the unequal relations that existed between various First Nations groups and Europeans. These interpretations serve to highlight the tragedies and the victimization of the Native/European experience, but specific studies of syncretism demonstrate that power was also shared within the colonizing process. In the Gitksan territory, the syncretism of culture and the acceptance of church ideals is demonstrated in the art and architecture within the contemporary reserve villages. Introduction The Gitksan were heavily influenced by the teachings of Methodist missionaries and that was made apparent in the transference of European building styles. The Gitksan sacrificed the traditional life in cedar longhouses, but evidence of traditional art and architectural forms still exist in all of the contemporary reserve villages. The Gitksan chose to embrace both cultures.

We want to know what you like and don’t like about the draft Angling Management Plan. We want to know how the plan should be changed to better address the issues that people in the community have raised: • Overcrowding on certain waters at certain times • Large numbers of non-guided, non-resident anglers contributing to overcrowding • Importance of non-guided, non-resident anglers to the local economy • Need for more resident opportunities to fish for steelhead The feedback that you provide us in this form, at stakeholder and public meetings, via email and through other channels, will give the information the Working Groups need to help finalize the draft Angling Management Plan and present it to the Ministry of Environment.
