  • The Cordova Shore Conservation Strategy (CSCS) Is a Technical Document Produced by the Cordova Shore Conservation Partnership Working Group
    Note to Reader: The Cordova Shore Conservation Strategy (CSCS) is a technical document produced by the Cordova Shore Conservation Partnership working group. The CSCS is not a policy statement of CRD Regional Parks, and strategy approval or commitment to implement any of the proposed strategies and actions is not implied by its distribution. For CRD Regional Parks, the intent of the CSCS is to inform decision-making, such as the development of the Island View Beach Regional Park Management Plan, preparation of workplans, and other park management processes. Cordova Shore CONSERVATION STRATEGY August 2010 Prepared for CRD Regional Parks, Tsawout First Nation, and Canadian Wildlife Service Prepared by: Nick Page Raincoast Applied Ecology Vancouver, BC Cordova Shore Conservation Strategy 1 SUMMARY The purpose of the Cordova Shore Conservation Strategy is to improve the management of ecosystems, plant, fish, and wildlife species, and human activities in the Cordova Shore through collaborative conservation actions. This includes actions to restore ecological processes, recover species at risk, reduce recreation impacts, improve access to cultural resources, and celebrate the shore’s unique character. This strategy was developed through the Cordova Shore Conservation Partnership. The partnership is an informal, collaborative initiative between Capital Regional District (CRD) Regional Parks, Tsawout First Nation, and the District of Central Saanich. It is supported by the Canadian Wildlife Service. Five main ecosystems make up the Cordova Shore: (1) marine ecosystems: beach, intertidal and shallow subtidal areas; (2) coastal wetland ecosystems: salt, brackish, and freshwater wetlands; (3) coastal sand ecosystems: sparsely‐vegetated sand spit (T̸IX̱EṈ) and stable and semi‐stable dunes; (4) rock outcrop ecosystems: sparsely‐vegetated rock and forested or shrub‐dominated; and (5) bluff ecosystems: unstable and forested sand bluffs.

The speakers are selected mainly through personal contacts of the members of the circle. The speaker choose their topic that is related to the Truth and Reconciliation commissions action plans. The format of the evening is: a presentation, a short break and then a Question and Answer period between the speaker and the community. The events are normally held on Sunday evenings in the Garry Oak Room at the FGCA, check the website for upcoming events. We welcome all community members, not just those that live in the Fairfield or Gonzales neighbourhoods. Understanding and Acceptance Presented by Rebecca Atleo Taataasupaxa (to speak straight forward) February, 2018 Rebecca Atleo’s presentation on Understanding and Acceptance touched on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, but she also spoke from personal experience of how being from Ahousaht is an honour but challenging sometimes, when not in a First Nations community. Rebecca Atleo is from Ahousaht and comes from the Atleo family, who are Nuu-chah-nulth. Her people reside in Ahousaht Territory which is part of the Nuu-chah-nulth, comprised of 14 Nations. Rebecca is currently the Director of Education for the Ahousaht Membership overseeing Daycare through to Post Secondary. Her home is in Ahousaht, but she travels the Island and Lower Mainland meeting with families and students about the importance of education and supports students who are at places of higher education. Rebecca also advocates for equity in the education system that is funded through DIA.

  • 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.
