My name is Jodee Dick, and I am a member of the Weiwaikum First Nation is Campbell River. I have over 30 years’ experience in Federal Land Man- agement, Governance, and Negotiations. I was Cowichan Tribes Land Manager from May of 2014 to March 2020. During this period, I was also working with KDC as an Economic Advisor and was promoted to CEO in April of 2020. On Tuesday, February 9, 2021, I was asked by Council to assume the role as Acting General Manager for Cowichan Tribes and I accepted. I have been given a three month contract, while Cowichan Tribes secures a full-time General Manager. I will ensure that KDC continues to move forward with our Strate- gic planning, Website development and our economic opportunities, and we will be advising membership on these initiates over the next few months. I am excited to be working with the Cowichan Tribes team and look to support our departments, our membership and our leadership over the next few months as your Acting General Manager. My office is open to all and welcomes you to reach out and let me know how I can support you and your community. Huy tseep q’u, Jodee Dick, A/General Manager of Cowichan Tribes Quw’utsun Newsletter | 5 Shelter In Place Order - Extended TO: Cowichan Tribes Members and Residents February 17, 2021 FROM: Cowichan Tribes Chief and Council SUBJECT: COVID-19 Shelter in Place Order Extended UntilMarch 5, 2021 Dear Cowichan Tribes community, I would like to inform you that Council has extended the Cowichan Tribes Shelter in Place Order for an addi- tional two weeks. The order will remain in effect until 5 pm Marchon 5, 2021. The order is being extended because we are still seeing new COVID-19 cases in our community, some people are in hospital, and new households are being affected. We are also saddened by the loss of two more com- munity members, who passed away over the weekend. On behalf of Chief and Council, and the entire com- munity, I want to offer our condolences. It’s important to share that the individuals who passed away were both young adults. While we’ve been mak- ing great efforts to protect our Elders, we now see that this virus is high-risk for many and we must all take it seriously and continue to be careful. Many of you have been staying home and doing your part. Thank you for making these choices that are keeping everyone safe. Please continue to follow all COVID-19 safety protocols by not visiting other house- holds, keeping your distance (2 m/6 ft), wearing a mask in public, only leaving home for essential reasons, and getting tested if you are sick. The new variants of this disease out of the United Kingdom and elsewhere make it so important that every- one continue to follow public health orders, and our Shelter in Place Order. We have seen here in Cowichan and with neighbouring communities that Shelter in Place orders can be successful. By following these orders, we can stop the spread and get back to having zero cases in our community. For your health, it’s important to get tested at the FIRST sign of symptoms. If you catch this virus early, you have a much better chance of recovering from it. To make testing more accessible, there is COVID-19 testing available at our Health Centre and we can have you tested at your home. Medical Transportation for testing is available - please call Ts’ewulhtun Health Centre at 250-746-6184. We understand this is a difficult time. Especially not being able to visit with family and friends, and practice our culture the way we normally do. If you need support, please reach out by calling our COVID-19 Communi- ty Navigators at 250-715-3339. We have made various financial and mental health supports available to help our members. See this COVID-19 guide for more information. Let’s all continue to work together to bring the case numbers down to zero. Together we will get through this. Chief William Seymour Quw’utsun Newsletter | 6 Shelter In Place Order - Extended Shelter In Place Order Extended & Restrictions On Access To Reserve Due to the ongoing cases, Chief and Council have extended the Shelter in Place Order which all members and residents on reserve must follow. This order initially in effect from Januaryth 6 , 2021 to January 22nd, 2021, was first extended until February 5th, then again until February 19th. It is now being extended once again until March 5th. This is referred to as the “Closure Period”. This order is authorized under Cowichan Tribes’ COVID-19 Community Protection Bylaw. Under this order: 1) All members must shelter in place (stay at home). 2) Access to residential areas and residential buildings in Cowichan Tribes Reserve is restricted. 3) Barriers and checkpoints will be set up to enforce this order and provide information. Shelter in Place (Stay at Home) Order Under this order: Cowichan Tribes residents must stay at home. Residents may only leave their homes for the following reasons: work, school, medical appointments, to obtain groceries, medicines and other essential items, or to care for a family member who is ill. Members may also go outdoors for fresh air, time in nature, or walking pets - but only alone or with members of their household. When outside, do not stop to gather with people you don’t live with. No events or gatherings with people from outside your household. Cowichan Tribes residents cannot gather or hold events – indoors or outdoors – with people from outside their household. For individuals living alone, follow the Provincial Health Officer’s orders. Designate a household shopper & limit shopping trips. Cowichan Tribes residents should designate one person per household to go out shopping, and limit shopping trips to once per week.

  • 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

    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.
