    Rethinking Sovereignty in British Columbia

    Whose Land Is It? Rethinking Sovereignty in British Columbia Nicholas Xem olt Claxton and John Price* Ŧ W̱ entral to the history of what is today known as “British Columbia” is the persistent quest by First Nations to regain sovereignty over their traditional territories: “The Sovereignty of Cour Nations comes from the Great Spirit. It is not granted nor subject to the approval of any other Nation. As First Nations we have the sovereign right to jurisdictional rule within our traditional territories.”1 Whether it be the Mowachaht reclaiming Yuquot in 1795; the Tsilhqot’in defending their territory through armed force;2 the seventy-three and fifty-six Stó:lō leaders who petitioned the superintendent of Indian affairs in 1873 and 1874, respectively, seeking settlement of the land question;3 the Tsimshian and Nisga’a chiefs demanding a treaty in 1887; the 1906 trip by Chiefs Capilano, David, and Isipaymilt to Buckingham Palace to place before King Edward VII the Cowichan petition for land justice;4 the Lil’wat chiefs’ declaration of sovereignty in 1911; the almost universal Indigenous cry for land justice during the McKenna-McBride hearings, * This article was co-researched and written by both authors. The section on SÁNEĆ sover- eignty is in the voice of Nick Claxton, a member of the community, while the other sections are in the voice of both authors. We extend our appreciation to ChristineW̱ O’Bonsawin and the two anonymous reviewers for their advice on earlier drafts of the article and the assistance of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation. 1 Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), Our Land Is Our Future: Aboriginal Title and Rights Position Paper, 1989, now referred to in Article 2 of the UBCIC Constitution as part of the guiding principles of UBCIC.

    Obvious but Invisible: Ways of Knowing Health, Environment, and Colonialism in a West Coast Indigenous Community

    Comparative Studies in Society and History 2018;60(2):241–273. 0010-4175/18 # Society for the Comparative Study of Society and History 2018 doi:10.1017/S001041751800004X Obvious but Invisible: Ways of Knowing Health, Environment, and Colonialism in a West Coast Indigenous Community PAIGE RAIBMON Department of History, University of British Columbia PRELUDE I: ABIRDS- EYE VIEW This is a story about divergent epistemologies and the politics of risk. It is a story about diverse ways of knowing a place, of sensing danger, of feeling well; a story about the production of imperception, the construction of colonial subjecthood, and the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty. In this story, an Indigenous community worked to render perceptible to the settler state appara- tus its knowledge claims about pollution, health, and critically, authority. Activ- ists initially pursued an anti-colonial, environmental justice campaign that sought to translate local, Indigenous ways of knowing into the epistemologies of environmental science and public health. This strategy earned them allies in the health science and legal professions, and activists had reason for optimism. Yet ultimately, this strategy failed. When it did, the community changed course: it now appropriated technologies of law rather than science. Where they previ- ously mobilized knowledge verifiable with bare human senses, they now Acknowledgments: I humbly acknowledge the many people whose generosity, assistance, and insights made this piece possible. Most importantly, I thank the Mowachaht and Muchalaht com- munity members who spoke and worked with me, especially but not only: Sheila Savey, Margarita James, Margaret Amos, Jerry Jack, Max Savey, Lillian Howard, and Mike Maquinna.

    Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes Within a Transboundary Complex: the Crown of the Continent

    Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes within a Transboundary Complex: The Crown of the Continent A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning In the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Keysha Fontaine B.S. University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013 Committee Chair: Craig M. Vogel, MID Committee Advisor: Danilo Palazzo, Ph.D, M.Arch ABSTRACT Protected areas are critical elements in restoring historical wildlife migration routes, as well as, maintaining historical cultural practices and traditions. The designations created for protected areas represent a cultural and/or natural aspect of the land. However, designations for the protection of these resources fail to include measures to take into account the ecological processes needed to sustain them. Ecological processes are vital elements in sustaining cultural resources, because most cultural resources are the derivatives of the interactions with natural resources. In order to sustain natural resources, especially wildlife, the processes of fluctuating habitat change and migration are pivotal in maintaining genetic diversity to maintain healthy populations with the fittest surviving. The survival of the fittest species allow populations to have greater adaptability in the face of climate change. Currently in the Crown of the Continent (COC), several non-profit organizations are collaborating under an umbrella initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative, to restore historical migration routes. The collaborators of this initiative performed ecological planning of the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region to identify impediments that may hinder wildlife movements.

    Official charitable partner of BC Parks Your Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a BC Parks Citizen Scientist bcparksfoundation.ca/inaturalist 1 #iNatBCParks Calling All Citizen Scientists The BC Parks iNaturalist Project is bringing together citizen scientists – British Columbians, visitors and anyone who enjoys B.C.’s provincial parks and protected areas – to document biodiversity in B.C.’s parks using iNaturalist. By using this powerful, trusted mobile app and website to document observations of plants, animals and other organisms, British Columbians and park visitors can contribute to the understanding of life found in B.C.’s parks and protected areas. The BC Parks iNaturalist Project is a collaboration between: What is ? iNaturalist is a mobile phone app and website used around the world to crowdsource observations of plants, animals and other organisms. Users upload photos of observations and iNaturalist’s image recognition software suggests the identity of the organism. A community of keen citizen scientists called “identifiers” then confirm the 2 identity of documented species, helping correct any errors and verify observations to make them research grade. Why is citizen science important? Your observations through the BC Parks iNaturalist Project create an interactive record of your own explorations in B.C.’s parks and protected areas, while helping improve the understanding of the species that live in or travel through our province. You may come across rare species, species at risk and species that aren’t well-studied. Your observations may help track population and distribution changes over time as a result of factors such as climate change. It’s free.
