STEYNEN DEGREE: MASTER OF SCIENCE THESIS TITLE: THE CONSEQUENCES OF FOREST-DEPENDENCE FOR THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA EXAMINING COMMITTEE: CHAIR: SUPERVISOR: COMMITTEE MEMBER: COMMITTEE MEMBER: EXTERNAL EXAMINER: DATE APPROVED: Abstract This thesis examines whether forest harvesting and processing is a viable strategy for the continued economic growth and socioeconomic development in small forest-based places in British Columbia (BC). This strategy is widely employed despite the fact that BC's forest economy has struggled to manage the effects of economic, political, and resource related change for over three decades. Restructuring and change have now reduced the economic advantages originally associated with forest-dependence for many BC communities, and Houston, BC is one of many examples. In the 1970s, forest-dependence created substantial economic growth for Houston, but since that time, the community has experienced instability, uncertainty, and a limited range of economic and social benefits as a result of forest-dependence. The research indicates that forest-dependence has limited Houston's economic and socioeconomic development. Furthermore, this research found that the economic model used in Houston has failed to produce the economic benefits of the past and has not supported the socioeconomic development necessary to sustain the community into the future. ii Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of Contents iii List of Maps v List of Figures v List of Tables v Acknowledgments vi CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1

  • The Burning of Kitsegukla, 1872 R.M.GALOIS
    The Burning of Kitsegukla, 1872 R.M.GALOIS Early in June 1872, Constable Robert Brown of the British Columbia Provincial Police left his post at Port Essington to head up the Skeena River. He intended to travel by canoe to Hazelton, then overland to Babine Lake before returning to the mouth of the Skeena: in all a round trip of nearly 500 miles. As the only representative of provincial authority in this considerable territory, Brown was making his journey "to collect Revenue etc." from the few white residents and transient miners in the area.1 But Brown never completed his trip. At Kitsegukla, a Gitksan village over a hundred miles up the Skeena, his progress was halted by a group of angry natives. Their village had been destroyed by fire a few days earlier, and now they refused Brown passage up the river. This paper is concerned with Brown's encounter at Kitsegukla and its consequences. Reconstruction of these events on the basis of contemporary records is a fairly straightforward task. It offers an account seen, primarily, through the eyes of white participants. But such a unilateral description of a clash involving people of two very different cultures has clear limita­ tions. Native actions are diminished and, as a direct consequence, white actions decontextualized. A more balanced view calls for serious con­ sideration of the Gitksan perception of the "burning of Kitsegukla." This is no simple matter, raising both interpretative and empirical problems. Of the former, one rather obvious, but essential, point needs to be made at this juncture: Gitksan responses to the burning of Kitsegukla were based on the logic of their own cultural universe.

Until the Hudson Bay Company and North West Company joined together in 1821, Fort St. James was the centre of government and commerce in British Columbia (then called New Caledonia). It claims to be the oldest established white settlement on the B.C. Mainland 1807 February 10th Simon Fraser wrote a letter to express what he witnessed in Stella (Stellaquo). “Almost all Natlians are gone over to Steela.. to grand feast to burn and exhume a couple of chiefs that died of late. When they return from there they will go to the mountains to kill Caribou.” 1828 Chief Kwah captured James Douglas at Ft. St. James, whom he held until his release was negotiated.

United States General Accounting OfTice GAO Washington, D.C. 20648 General Government Division B-241276 November 13,lOQO The Honorable Bill Archer House of Representatives Dear Mr. Archer: On March 5, 1990, Chairman J. J. Pickle, Subcommittee on Oversight, House Committee on Ways and Means, requested certain information on Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) activities in six geographic areas. This fact sheet addresses questions on RTC real estate holdings and property management activities in one of those areas-- portions of the Houston, Texas area.1 Chairman Pickle asked that we send this information directly to you since you represent this area. The five other areas are being covered in separate fact sheets. Specifically, the Chairman asked for information on (1) thrifts and real estate assets placed under RTC control; (2) the n meq),"of managers of any high-value real estate properti et in the inventory and what they are paid; (3) real estate assets that have been sold and the purchasers of those sold for $1 million or more; and (4) the number of real estate agents that has been qualified or disqualified for RTC contracts, and for those disqualified, the reasons why., The following discussion provides this information. THRIFTS AND REAL ESTATE ASSETS PLACED UNDER RTC CONTROL The Office of Thrift Supervision initially places troubled thrifts under the direct su ervision of RTC--which serves as conservator2 or receiver !i --when certain conditions, such as insolvency, capital inadequacy, or unsafe and unsound practices, exist.
