BLACKSTOCK RHONDA MCALLISTER Abstract Although the First Nations Elders from the interior of southern British Columbia, Canada, recall times when grass was “belly-high to a horse,” today they worry about the deteriorated state of the grasslands. Using ethnographic and historical research methods, this paper documents recognized First Nations experts’ historical memory of the grasslands. Based on the ethnographic accounts, this paper also attempts to reconstruct the effects of colonization on the grassland ecology and First Nations culture. Secondary sources such as early settlers’ accounts and current grassland ecology research are used to augment the testimony of the experts. Two eras are described: 1) Pre-contact era (the three hundred years prior to contact); and 2) Post-contact era (1846-present).

  • Spatial Distribution and Spawning Migration of Kokanee
    SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND SPAWNING MIGRATION OF KOKANEE (Qncorhynchus nerka) IN NICOLA LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA by HAROLD WILLIAM LORZ B.Sc. University of British Columbia 1958 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Zoology We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1962 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allo\\red uithout ray written permission. Department of Zoology The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 3, Canada. ABSTRACT Vertical distribution and onshore movement of maturing kokanee were studied by means of extensive gill net sets in Nicola Lake between 1958 and 1961. In late spring of 1959 maturing kokanee were found largely in the upper 30 feet of the lake but gradually dispersed to occupy all depths to 100 feet by mid-summer. A diel vertical migration occurred in which matur• ing kokanee moved surfaceward during the day and downward at night in 1959. In 1961 the reverse condition was observed wherein kokanee avoided areas of bright illumination during the day but moved surfaceward at night. No effect on vertical distribution of kokanee by extensive and rapid fluctua• tions of the thermocline, initiated by wind induced seiches, was noted in 1959 or 1961.

  • SCHEDULE of INDIAN RESERVES and SETTLEMENTS Part II
    SCHEDULE OF INDIAN RESERVES AND SETTLEMENTS Part II Province of British Columbia Revised to April 30, 1966 INDIAN AFFAIRS BRANCH DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS AND NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT PREFACE This schedule contains an alphabetical list of Indian Reserves in the Province of British Columbia. Part I of the schedule lists the Indian Reserves and Settlements in the rest of Canada. There are no Indian Settlements in the Province of British Columbia. The "Location" column gives the approximate geographical location of the reserves. The map co-ordinates are also listed under this column. The "N.T.S." abbreviation means the "National Topographic System" of maps covering the reserves and adjacent lands. The N.T.S. sheets quoted in this schedule are mainly at the scale 1:50,000 (approx. 1 mile to the inch), however, not all maps at this scale are published as of this printing. Where these sheets are not available the next best map coverage will be provided. These maps can be obtained by writing to the Map Distribution Office, Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa, Ontario. When requesting maps the complete N.T.S. designations should be quoted. It is hoped that a revised schedule may be published every five years or sooner, depending on the changes and needs. The changes (additions, deletions, almagamations, creation of new reserves, etc.) will not be reported to the holders of the schedule. Any questions respecting Indian lands should be directed to the Indian Affairs Branch, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Ottawa, Ontario. Note A number of Indian Reserves formerly designated as Burial Ground, Fishery, Fishing Station, Graveyard, Island, Meadow and Timber Reserve have recently been renamed according to names submitted by the various Band Councils.
