Supervisory Committee Powering Self-Determination: Indigenous Renewable Energy Developments in British Columbia by Eryn Fitzgerald B.A., University of Alberta, 2008 Supervisory Committee Karena Shaw, Supervisor School of Environmental Studies Judith Sayers, Departmental Member School of Environmental Studies ii Abstract Indigenous peoples are increasingly using renewable energy technologies to meet a variety of objectives. In so-called Canada, there has been a dramatic rise in Indigenous renewable energy projects due to economic, environmental, and legal trends. Nowhere are these trends more evident than in the province of British Columbia (BC). In the early 2000s, the colonial government privatized the electricity system, sparking a rapid expansion of run of river hydro projects on Indigenous lands. Over time, and with much effort, First Nations in BC began to participate in and ultimately benefit from the shift to independent power production. However, just as they increased their involvement in the renewable energy sector, the government withdrew its commitment to purchase private power for the foreseeable future. One way to understand the implications of this policy reversal is to examine it through the lens of energy justice. Using a justice framework, this research explores how First Nations are involved in renewable energy developments in BC as well as the significance of this involvement for Indigenous self-determination. Drawing from two case studies and survey data from First Nations across the province, I argue that the decline in power procurement programs is not simply a barrier but an injustice. I first illustrate how provincial energy policies have shaped and been shaped by Indigenous renewable energy ambitions. While First Nations were not the intended beneficiaries of these policies, they nonetheless seized the opportunity to sell electricity to the grid. I also compare the approaches of two Indigenous power producers, Kanaka Bar Indian Band and Sts’ailes First Nation, arguing that they have generated important economic benefits by strategically navigating the private power industry. Lastly, I document how members of Kanaka Bar have leveraged the Kwoiek Creek hydro project to address the adverse impacts of colonization and further their aims of self-determination. Based on these findings, I conclude that Indigenous renewable energy projects are themselves forms of energy justice and as such, must be supported through a variety of means. iii Table of Contents Supervisory Committee ........................................................................................................ ii Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................... iv List of Tables ............................................................................................................................ vi List of Figures ......................................................................................................................... vii Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................... viii Dedication ................................................................................................................................ ix Chapter 1: Introduction ......................................................................................................... 1 Exploring Energy Justice ............................................................................................................................... 5 Applying Energy Justice ............................................................................................................................. 12 Literature Review ........................................................................................................................................ 15 What is happening?

  • A Case Study of the Scuzzy Creek Hydro Project
    AGSE 2008 STRATEGIC ALLIANCES IN INDIGENOUS ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONTEXTS: A CASE STUDY OF THE SCUZZY CREEK HYDRO PROJECT Matthew Pasco: Nicola Valley Institute Of Technology, Merritt, Canada Everarda Cunningham: Swinburne University Of Technology, Lilydale, Australia ∼ Contact: Matthew Pasco, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, 4155 Belshaw Street, BC V1K 1R1 Merritt, Canada, (T) 250 378 3300, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Indigenous communities throughout Canada and the world value their distinctive and varied heritages. They value both autonomy and cultural integrity. Nevertheless, in order to prosper in a highly competitive and globalised world, most Indigenous communities need to consider the issue of strategic alliances involving both other Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous people and organizations from the mainstream of the nation state. Combined with this desire for prosperity, Indigenous people and organizations have formed strategic alliances with non-Indigenous people and organizations in the attempt to advance the economic development of their communities. Indigenous communities also utilize strategic alliances to take back control of their territory and the resources within its territory. Therefore, these communities need to consider the twin issues of when and how to create appropriate strategic alliances in order to discover, evaluate and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities. This paper has one dominant aim: to critically examine the Scuzzy Creek Hydro Project (a strategic alliance between the Nlaka’pamux Nation and non-Indigenous partners) in light of both the mainstream strategic alliance literature and a range of Indigenous perspectives. INTRODUCTION Indigenous communities throughout Canada and around the world value their distinctive and varied heritages. They value both autonomy and cultural integrity.

  • Exploring the Archaeobotany of Roasting Features in Southern British Columbia
    Some Like it Hot: Exploring the Archaeobotany Of Roasting Features in Southern British Columbia Natasha Lyons*, Anna Marie Prentiss†, Sandra Peacock‡, and Bill Angelbeck§ Roasting features, also known as earth ovens, have been used by First Nations Peoples since the late Holocene to cook food for both immediate consumption and winter storage. Across southern British Columbia, earth ovens built by Salish communities in low- and mid-elevation meadows and riverine villages were part of carefully coordinated, multi-layered annual patterns of movement within the landscape to harvest and produce food. In this paper, we examine the patterning of floral—and to a lesser extent, faunal—data from earth oven complexes located in four village and four upland sites, finding differences between assemblages that appear to relate to the nature and diversity of use between site types. Our preliminary results support the contention that earth ovens in village contexts were used in more ways, and potentially by a wider array of cooks, than those in upland contexts. This analysis forms a first step towards a broader and more detailed study of ancient plant production as rendered through the lens of earth ovens in upland and lowland settings across southern British Columbia. oasting features, also known as earth ovens, Archaeological investigations of earth ovens in BC R have been used by First Nations Peoples since began in the 1970s (Pokytylo and Froese 1983), the late Holocene to cook food for both immediate and since then numerous studies have been consumption and winter storage (Figure 1). Root conducted across the interior plateaus of BC, foods1, in particular, were an important source of Washington, and Oregon.

  • Kwoiek Creek Resources Limited Partnership Kwoiek Creek Hydroelectric Project
    KWOIEK CREEK RESOURCES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP KWOIEK CREEK HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT PROJECT INFORMATION DOCUMENT May 1 2014 The following information is intended to provide interested parties with an introduction to the project, including history, scope, regulatory status and schedule. Overview: The Kwoiek Creek Hydroelectric Project (the Project) is a 50 MW, run-of-river, clean power generation project located on the lower reaches of Kwoiek Creek, a tributary to the Fraser River, approximately 14 km south of Lytton, British Columbia (refer to Figure 1). The developer of the project is Kwoiek Creek Resources Limited Partnership (KCRLP), a partnership between the Kanaka Bar Indian Band (KBIB) and Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (Innergex). KBIB is a member community of the Nlaka’pamux Nation, within whose traditional territory the Project will be located, and Innergex is a Canadian independent power producer. History of the Project: in 1990, for the purposes of generating power, KBIB applied to the province of British Columbia for a water licence in Kwoiek Creek. In 2001, KBIB submitted an Environmental Assessment Application under the BC Environmental Assessment Act for an 80 MW run-of-river hydroelectric facility. After considerable stakeholder engagement, the EAO responded with 51 Project Specifications as a required next step in the environmental assessment. In 2002, KBIB transferred the Environmental Assessment Application and the water licence application to its wholly owned company Kwoiek Creek Resources Inc. (KCRI). In 2005, KCRI partnered with Innergex II Inc. to form the KCRLP. As partners, optimization of the project in conjunction with the ongoing studies to address EAO Project Specifications resulted in a reduced project capacity of 50 MW with a corresponding reduced project footprint.
