The routes of precontact inland trails are no longer known well due to the decimation of the local population in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industrial logging is threatening to destroy archaeological evidence of the inland trail network, and therefore this inquiry is timely. The largest and most topographically diverse island, Graham, has been the subject of many archaeological impact assessments that have documented hundreds of archaeological sites, most of them containing culturally modified trees.

  • FSP Supporting Document Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District 2019-2024
    BCTS Chinook Business Area FSP Supporting Document Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District 2019-2024 August 2019 1. Purpose & Audience: The purpose of this document is to provide the statutory decision maker with supporting information an documentation that guides the interpretation of BCTS’ Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) for Haida Gwaii. This document also serves to support the implementation of the FSP by Qualified Professionals (as defined in the Clarifications section of the FSP) and Timber Sale Licence (TSL) holders, and is intended to provide clarification on the measurability, verifiability and relevance of results and strategies outlined in the FSP. In preparing the FSP and this supporting document, BCTS has reviewed and considered the District Manager’s Letter of Expectation (LOE) (July 25, 2016), the Chief Forester’s Guidance on the Replacement of FSPs (March 2016) and comments from Solutions Table, the public and BCTS staff. Because forest stewardship guidance is constantly evolving, this document may be updated from time to time and new versions may be issued to address updated information or guidance. 2. Application of the District Manager’s Expectations Letter: The expectations in the Chief Forester’s letter (Appendix 1) state that the District Manager should consider the content of the guidance letter in respect of local context and incorporate relevant sections in their expectations letter. The District Manager’s LOE (Appendix 2) incorporates the Chief Foresters guidance in the context of the unique management framework on Haida Gwaii. BCTS, in the preparation of the FSP and this supporting document, has considered this guidance in the following ways: New Information: BCTS has made specific changes to the FSP by adding or augmenting sections on Cedar Stewardship Areas (CSA’s), climate change, visual quality, yew management and public engagement.

    Community Involvement in the Nomination and Management of SGang Gwaay World Heritage Site Jennifer Iredale and Ursula Pfahler Heritage Branch Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Province of British Columbia Edited by Clare Thorbes GLOSSARY In keeping with the wishes of the Haida community, this case study uses Haida place names that are in current use, and the spellings follow the most recent orthography established by the Haida Language Committee. The English names for certain places are listed in this glossary and occasionally mentioned elsewhere in the case study to orient readers more familiar with those names. Many of our interviewees use their Haida name, either exclusively or in addition to their English name, and we have endeavoured to use the order and spelling of names that our interviewees prefer. People’s names are listed once in the glossary and are not cross-referenced. In the case of individuals who use their English names predominantly, the given name precedes the surname.
