WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL A SUMMER OF NEW OPERATIONS As we write this item for July’s WCRA News, we are finalizing plans for new attractions at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park this summer. And an exciting summer it will be—with and the excitement of the new vintage car exhibit featuring our recently arrived 1934 Chrysler Airflow—what a beauty! - that debuts Father’s Day and the opening of the new PGE / BC Rail exhibit in the Troop Sleeper car 710 on July 20th with a special dedication on BC Rail Pioneers Picnic Day. But the biggest news for the summer of 2006 is the introduction of regular operations on the full size rails, putting into regular service some of the operations tested last year and earlier this year. The Heritage Park will offer Speeder Rides on a regular schedule—available every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday starting July 5th and running through September 1st. Then another exciting new package tour offering—a Behind the Scenes Tour by Budd Car—a tour to our operating shop with transportation on our Budd RDC cars. These new attractions will join our everyday West Coast Mini Rail trains, to set us up with three operating attractions to supplement any visit to the Heritage Park and its exhibits. Another exciting new operation will also take place the week of July 24 when WCRA will operate the first week-long Railway Conductor Practicum for BCIT. This work will be based at our Squamish MP 1 shop and trackage, and will include our first operations into downtown Squamish with the gracious support of CN to making this program work by allowing trackage access where it is required within the Squamish yard limits. So, it will be an exciting new West Coast Railway Heritage Park this summer, as we start yet another new era through the addition of these regular operating new attractions. More details are on page 27—we hope to see all of you there to try these out for yourselves and have a great rail experience at the same time.

  • 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.

  • Investigating Cowichan River Collaborative Salmon Management Institutions: the Cowichan Harvest Roundtable and the Traditional Cowichan Fish Weir
    Investigating Cowichan River Collaborative Salmon Management Institutions: The Cowichan Harvest Roundtable and the Traditional Cowichan Fish Weir by Chelsea J. Dale Department of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon June 2012 A thesis submitted to the University of Saskatchewan in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master's of Environment and Sustainability Copyright Chelsea J. Dale & Cowichan Tribes Department of Lands and Governance, 2012 ABSTRACT The structure of fisheries management institutions is changing all over the world, due in part to issues of sustainability related to exhaustion of resources, fiscal responsibilities, and the exercising of Aboriginal rights to access subsistence and commercial fisheries. As a result of direct action and successful legal challenges, coupled by the ongoing negotiation of modern treaties, changes in the way authority is exercised over fisheries management is occurring and co-management arrangements are being formed between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal parties. While the study of co-management arrangements is relatively recent, much has been written about their potential to manage fisheries in a sustainable manner. Located on south-eastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, the Cowichan Valley is the historical homeland of the Cowichan Mustimuhw (people). The Cowichan Mustimuhw once controlled an elaborate salmon fishery on the Cowichan River by way of their historical fish weir. Years of conflict between Cowichan Tribes and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) over control of the historical weir led to a significant reduction in Cowichan Mustimuhw control over their historical fishery. In 2008, the Cowichan Tribes Fish Committee (representing the interests of Cowichan members) re-vitalized the historical weir for use as a sustainable salmon management institution.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.
