Management Summary This report presents the results of the Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of the New Monaco property in Peachland, B.C. (Figure 1). The AIA was conducted at the request of Paul Tsang, President of the New Monaco Enterprise Corporation. The proponent intends to construct a mixed commercial- residential-recreational development in the District of Peachland. The New Monaco property is approximately 52 ha in area and is located between Highway 97 and Highway 97C. The New Monaco property is located within the asserted traditional territory of the Westbank First Nation and Penticton Indian Band (both members of the Okanagan Nation Alliance). The objectives of the AIA described in this report are: (1) to identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological sites located within the boundaries of the parcels of land, (2) to identify and assess possible impacts by any proposed developments within the parcels of land on any protected archaeological sites, (3) to provide recommendations regarding the need and appropriate scope of further archaeological studies prior to the initiation of any proposed developments, and (4) to recommend appropriate impact management actions for protected archaeological sites (where necessary). The AIA took place in accordance with the British Columbia Archaeological Impact Assessment Guidelines (Archaeology Branch 1998) issued by the Archaeology Branch, at the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts. The current AIA was not intended to identify areas in which no physical remains of past human activities can be found, such as berrypicking sites and fishing locations, as the identification of these types of sites is more appropriately addressed in Traditional Use and Traditional Knowledge Studies (TUS/TKS). The field component of the AIA was conducted between June 29th and July 5th, 2010. The field crew consisted of Ian Cameron, Meghan McGill (Ursus), Kane Alexis and Keona Joe (Okanagan Indian Band). Unfortunately, representatives of the Westbank First Nation were not available to be part of the field crew for the field assessment. The project area was subjected to a combination of judgementally selected and systematic survey transects and a subsurface testing program. Two archaeological sites were identified during the field assessment. Site DkQw-40 was previously identified (Arcas Associates 1986) and relocated during this AIA. DkQw-40 consists of a sub-surface lithic scatter including one piece of basalt debitage. The site is located on a southern aspect terrace remnant overlooking Highway 97 and the north shore of Okanagan Lake. Site DkQw-40 has been impacted by past highway construction and orchard activities. Site DkQw-44 was newly identified near the northern edge of the property. This site consists of a sub- surface lithic scatter including eight pieces of chert and basalt debitage. The site is located on a southern aspect terrace remnant overlooking Highway 97 and the north shore of Okanagan Lake. Site DkQw-44 has been impacted by past orchard activities. The following is recommended for sites DkQw-40 and DkQw-44. * Avoidance of further disturbance to sites DkQw-40 and DkQw-44; and * Application for a Section 12 alteration permit if it is necessary to disturb ground within sites DkQw-40 and DkQw-44. The Section 12 permit application will also address monitoring of DkQw-40 and systematic data recovery at DkQw-44 if any land disturbance or construction is to take place in vicinity of the sites. The potential for locating undiscovered archaeological sites within the project area is considered to be low. In the event that any unanticipated archaeological remains are discovered within the project area, it is recommended that the proponent halt all activities in the immediate vicinity of the previously Prepared by Ursus Heritage Consulting - iv - Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of New Monaco Property in Peachland, B.C. unidentified site(s) and promptly inform, the Archaeology Branch, Ursus Heritage Consulting, and the appropriate First Nations of the location of the site(s) and the nature of the disturbance. Management recommendations regarding emergency impact mitigation will then be determined in consultation with the Archaeology Branch, and the appropriate First Nations. It is also recommended that the proponent inform the purchaser and any potential developers and/or contractors that archaeological remains are protected by the Heritage Conservation Act (1996) and may not be altered, damaged, moved, excavated in, or desecrated in any way without a permit issued under Section 12 or 14 of the Heritage Conservation Act. Acknowledgements Ursus Heritage Consulting (Ursus) would like to thank Paul Tsang for the opportunity to conduct this study. Ursus would also like to thank the Westbank First Nation and the Penticton Indian Band for the opportunity to work within their asserted traditional territories and claim areas. Ursus would also like to thank Meghan McGill (Ursus), Kane Alexis and Keona Joe (Okanagan Indian Band) for all their hard work during the field component of the project. Thanks also to Nancy Bonneau at Westbank First Nation for assisting with project details and arranging for field assistants.

It is most fortunate therefore, that we are able to accurately document the precise circumstances under which the Peachland Methodist Church, forerunner of Peachland United Church, came into existence. As you will see from the following document, a meeting of unattached, like-minded Methodists was held in the Orange Hall on August 19 th , 1907 to discuss the future of Methodism in Peachland. While we celebrate the first service in our church on November 5 th , 1911 as day 1 of our 100 year history, this document clearly shows that our church, at that time without a permanent home, is actually 104 years old this year. Two points of interest. This two page photocopied document was among a large box of papers donated to the church after two long-time Peachland United Church members Jeff and Jean Todd had both passed away. It is taken from a Minute Book, pages 2 and 3, that was obviously intended to be the official record of the new Methodist church.

In this study I explore methods for employing LiDAR-derived digital elevation models as a tool for archaeological prospection within the Highland Valley Copper Mine. A review of contemporary and formative LiDAR-analysis archaeological prospection research was conducted to identify the most appropriate visualization techniques and data management workflow. Specific methods for the identification of microtopographic relief with the potential to contain archaeological resources were developed. The efficacy of LiDAR-based topographic analysis using manual feature extraction is validated through comparison with georeferenced survey and ground-truthing data provided by my research partners at the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council.

    Backgrounder

    February 2013 BACKGROUNDER South Okanagan/Lower Similkameen National Park Reserve Okanagan Nation Feasibility Study In January 2011 the Government of Canada and the Province of BC released a positive assessment of feasibility that failed to include the Syilx Okanagan Nation perspective and interests. In August 2011 Parks Canada allocated funding to commence work on a Syilx Feasibility Study to allow for the inclusion of the Okanagan Nation perspectives. The Syilx Parks Working Group was formed and given the task to complete the Feasibility Study from an indigenous perspective, with Parks Canada participating as an observer. The Syilx Parks Working Group was composed of Okanagan Nation Alliance and the four southern Okanagan Nation member communities: Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Upper Similkameen Indian Band and the Penticton Indian Band. The study found that it is feasible to explore further discussions with Parks Canada about a future National Park Reserve, so long as Syilx Title, Rights and interests are protected and respected. The Syilx Parks Working Group advocates a collaborative and consensus based model with Parks Canada similar to those in Gwaii Haanas. The Report also found that the current Parks model is insufficient in size to promote the broader vision for protection of Syilx cultural and ecological integrity in the South Okanagan Lower Similkameen. Additional work should be initiated to address the broader Syilx vision for protection of land and culture. A Socio-Cultural, Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment has determined that a National Park Reserve has some potential to provide some additional benefits to Syilx people and culture, through increased research funding and employment opportunities.

    A Study of the Protocol Agreement Between the Osoyoos Indian Band

    A Study of the Protocol Agreement between the Osoyoos Indian Band and the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen by Levan King Cranston A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 by Levan King Cranston Abstract Protocol Agreements have been used successfully as an intergovernmental relationship- building tool between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments in Canada during the last twenty years. In British Columbia, the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) and neighbouring First Nations governments created a Protocol Agreement that was signed in 2013. The Protocol Agreement has brought governments together where previously a relationship did not exist. The methods used in this research included a document analysis, and interviews with participants from the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) and RDOS. This case study research found that a number of successes have been achieved between the OIB and RDOS, although there are still numerous challenges in the intergovernmental relationship. The research concludes that for regional coexistence of cultures to occur successfully, both parties must have the political will to communicate, collaborate, and engage with their regional partners. All people in the region must sit together for their common good. i Acknowledgments With gratitude I would like to thank the research participants representing the OIB and RDOS who took the time to support my thesis research. Their experience and knowledge has been incredibly helpful in making this a positive learning experience for me.
