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. Here, I focus on the case of a conflict over logging on Kweh-Kwuch-Hum and the resulting Policy Pilot Project (2008) to analyze the communication strategies used by both sides in the conflict. I demonstrate that both the Sts’ailes and the Ministry of Forests improved their communication strategies as they worked on the Policy Pilot Project together. My study confirms the theoretical framework that was used to address the invisible values of forests, and suggests that being proactive, promoting social learning, and having a conflict resolution protocol can facilitate more reflexive communication. I suggest that by linking Indigenous knowledge, one type of knowledge system, to multi-level governance, more meaningful communication and collaboration can be achieved. The findings highlight the relevance of a collaborative approach to the field, and provide a valuable lesson in forest governance systems, not only for Canada, but also for other countries where there are differences between statutory rights and customary rights. ii Preface Part of an original manuscript is presented in this thesis in Chapter 4. The version that appears in Section 4. 8, titled “Cultural uses of non-timber forest products among the Sts’ailes, British Columbia,” has been published in a peer-reviewed journal (Kim, I., Mohs, G., Trosper, R.L. Cultural uses of non-timber forest products among the Sts’ailes, British Columbia, Canada. Journal of Forest Policy and Economics 22 [2012] p 40-46). The published article was written by In Ae Kim, in collaboration with her supervisory advisor, Dr. Ronald L. Trosper, Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona, and M.A. Gordon Mohs, former Cultural Advisor of the Department of Aboriginal Rights and Title at Sts’ailes. A version of Chapter 5 was presented at the International Union of Forest Research Organization Congress, in Seoul, August, 2010 (Kim, I-A., Mohs, G., and Trosper, R.L. Incorporating Cultural Values of Sacred Forests in Forest Management), and the abstract has been published in the International Forest Review, 12 (5) p 449. In Ae Kim identified the research problem and methodologies for this thesis and developed the research design under the guidance of Dr. Trosper, who suggested the use of a participatory approach early in the research. Kim made the field contacts and identified collaborating organizations, collected the data, and conducted the data analyses for the thesis. Dr. Trosper provided guidance on Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6. Dr. Menzies, of the UBC Department of Anthropology, provided guidance on the implications of non-timber forest products in Chapter 4, and gave suggestions to strengthen Chapter 6. Dr. Harshaw made suggestions on how to better organize and present the results. In revising and editing the manuscripts, Drs. Trosper, Menzies, and Bulkan, and university examiners, Drs. Satterfield, and Hoberg, and the external examiner, Dr. Turner, made valuable contributions that improved the quality of the thesis. The Sts’ailes Nation also provided ground-checking and fruitful comments on the thesis and presentation materials. This research was approved by the UBC Behavioural Research Ethics Board (Certificate Number H08-01008) and Sts’ailes Research Ethics Protocol. iii Table of contents Abstract .................................................................................................................................... ii Preface ..................................................................................................................................... iii Table of contents .................................................................................................................... iv List of tables........................................................................................................................... vii List of figures ........................................................................................................................ viii Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ ix Dedication ................................................................................................................................ x Chapter 1 Introduction ......................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Sts’ailes ................................................................................................................................ 3 1.2 Forest management in British Columbia .............................................................................. 4 1.3 Research focus and scope ..................................................................................................... 6 1.3.1 Study purpose and research questions .......................................................................... 6 1.3.2 Thesis structure ............................................................................................................. 8 1.4 Research reflection ............................................................................................................... 9 Chapter 2 Literature review ............................................................................................... 14 2.1 Language groups of Coast Salish ....................................................................................... 15 2.2 History of European contact ............................................................................................... 16 2.2.1 The impact of colonialism on the Lower Mainland .................................................... 17 2.2.2 Socio-economic changes ............................................................................................. 17 2.2.3 Cultural changes .......................................................................................................... 19 2.3 Recent efforts by Coast Salish to generate change ............................................................. 21 2.3.1 Socio-economic changes spearheaded by Sts’ailes and Coast Salish ......................... 21 2.3.2 Cultural changes in Sts’ailes ....................................................................................... 23 2.3.3 Aboriginal rights and title ........................................................................................... 25 2.3.4 Implications of traditional forest resource uses .......................................................... 25 2.3.5 Summary ..................................................................................................................... 26 2.4 Communication between First Nations and government agencies ..................................... 27 2.4.1 Communication barriers .............................................................................................. 28 2.4.2 Conditions necessary to facilitate communication ...................................................... 32 iv 2.4.3 Summary: what the examples contribute .................................................................... 37 Chapter 3 Theoretical framework and research methodology ....................................... 39 3.1 Theoretical framework ....................................................................................................... 39 3.1.1 Strategies to addressing cultural values ...................................................................... 39 3.1.2 Participatory research .................................................................................................. 42 3.2 Research methodology ....................................................................................................... 44 3.2.1 A case study

  • Supp III a Basin Description
    Supplement Section III — Basin Description Information Base Part A — Basin Description The Chehalis River Basin is the largest river basin in western Washington. With the exception of the Columbia River basin, it is the largest in the state. The basin extends over eight counties. It encompasses large portions of Grays Harbor, Lewis, and Thurston counties, and smaller parts of Mason, Pacific, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, and Jefferson counties. For purposes of water resources planning under the Washington State Watershed Planning Act of 1998, the Chehalis Basin was divided into two Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs), WRIA 22 and WRIA 23, depicted here with surrounding WRIA numbers and in relation to the whole state of Washington. Chehalis Basin Watershed — County Land Areas County Area (sq.mi.) Area (acres) Percentage Grays Harbor 1,390 889,711 50.3% Thurston 323 206,446 11.7% Lewis 770 493,103 27.9% Mason 206 132,146 7.5% Pacific 66 42,040 2.4% Cowlitz 8 5,427 0.3% Jefferson 2 1,259 0.07% Wahkiakum .1 37 0.002% Total 2,766 1,770,169 Source: Chehalis Watershed GIS Watershed Boundaries The basin is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by the Deschutes River Basin, on the north by the Olympic Mountains, and on the south by the Willapa Hills and Cowlitz River Basin. Elevations vary from sea level at Grays Harbor to the 5,054-foot Capitol Peak in the Olympic National Forest. The basin consists of approximately 2,766 square miles. The Chehalis WRIA 22 River system flows through three distinct eco-regions before emptying into Grays Harbor near Aberdeen (Omernik, 1987): • The Cascade ecoregion (including the Olympic Mountains) is char- acterized by volcanic/sedimentary bedrock formations.

Dr. Lyman (1988) noted that the view that mountain goat were not native to the Olympic Peninsula is based on an absence of biological reports, absence of historical and ethnographic records, and lack of archaeofaunal evidence of pre-1920s presence of the species in this region.

PUB TYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics; v22 n2 p1-10 1997 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the

  • 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.

As a Coast Salish Two Spirit researcher, I noticed there is a striking absence of west coast Indigenous and Coast Salish specific knowledge about Two Spirit identities, experiences and vision work in academic and community circles. Therefore, this research was conducted exclusively on Coast Salish territories, with Coast Salish identified Two Spirit participants and allies. I apply my Four House Posts Coast Salish methodology in an Indigenous research framework, and through storytelling and art-based methods, this study asks - How does recognition of Coast Salish Two Spirit identity and experience contribute to community wellness and cultural resurgence? The intention of this study is to offer pathways for intergenerational healing and reconnections, cultural revitalization and transformation by weaving traditional Indigenous knowledges with contemporary narratives, in order to increase voice and visibility of Coast Salish Two Spirit People.
