The report also includes a brief financial report on how the organization utilized the funds received for this fiscal year. I am grateful for the continuing support and assistance I receive from the Stó:lō Nation Chiefs Council (SNCC), Stó:lō Nation Board (SNB), the Stó:lō Nation member communities, and the Stó:lō Nation staff.

Stó:lō Nation is committed to exploring various means to improve the quality of service delivery and to contribute to the development of a healthy Stó:lō Nation. I commit myself and contribute in a good Stó:lō way with everyone in this organization to represent and advocate the best quality programs and services. Thank you.

  • Communicating the Cultural Values of a Sacred Mountain Through Collaboration with the Sts’Ailes Nation of British Columbia
    COMMUNICATING THE CULTURAL VALUES OF A SACRED MOUNTAIN THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THE STS’AILES NATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by In Ae Kim B.Sc., Kangwon National University, 2003 M.Sc., Seoul National University, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2016 © In Ae Kim, 2016 Abstract This research provides communication strategies for First Nations and forestry agencies in British Columbia. I have used a community-based, participatory, and case study approach to conduct an in-depth study of conflict resolution between Sts’ailes, a Coast Salish First Nation located near Vancouver, and the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (hereinafter the Ministry of Forests). This study identifies the cultural uses of forest resources among Sts’ailes people and communication challenges central to the conflict, and suggests strategies that can help to achieve meaningful communication and collaboration between First Nations people and forestry staff. The ultimate purpose of this study is to explore cultural values related to forest management among the Sts’ailes Nation and to explore the dynamics of their communication process, focusing on Kweh-Kwuch-Hum, a sacred mountain located on Sts’ailes traditional land. This study asks how First Nations can make themselves heard when “speaking” about cultural values within the context of forest management. It describes Sts’ailes people’s ways of using and maintaining access to forestlands and resources. The cultural values of forest uses are important to the revitalization of the Sts’ailes way of life, cultural identity and well- being.

SEPTEMBER 2008 EMERGING FROM COLONIAL Q UICKSANDS CULTURAL HYBRIDITY AND THE STÓ:LÕ TRANSITION TO SELF-RULE: EXAMINING STÓ:LÕ DISCOURSE AROUND THE EXPERIENCE OF TAKING ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELIVERY OF CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES “Yeah, we’re going to make mistakes.

They asked me to gather and analyse perspectives on Xyolhemeylh (“Hee-oth-e-meeth”), a program established by the Stó:lõ in 1993 to take on responsibility for delivering child and family services to their own people.3 Xyolhemeylh operated under the control of Stó:lõ 1 The Honourable Steven L.

Changes to the Museum Act [RSBC 1996] Chapter 326 to enable the Royal British Columbia Museum to become a Crown Corporation, and the related creation of a ‘cultural precinct’; 3. Implications for the management of heritage sites in light of the revised Provincial Policy for Consultation with First Nations (2002); and 4. The pending closure of the Heritage Resource Centre (Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women’s Services). The purpose of this overview was twofold.
