    NPS: Armstrong 1 Native Perspectives on Sustainability: Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx) Interviewee: Jeanette Armstrong Interviewer: David E. Hall Date: 10/21/07 Transcribed: Brianna Finney DH: Thank you for taking your time with us today. As you know from our other conversations this project is about sustainability from the perspective of indigenous leaders and our aim is to hear from you on the subject today. JA: Okay DH: To start can you just share a little bit about yourself in terms of your background, cultural heritage, and your work? JA: My name is Jeannette Armstrong. My Okanagan Syilx name means something like the light, rippling off of moving water. It’s an image name. I come from the Okanagan, but my mother is from Kettle Falls at the Columbia River. The Okanagan River is the most northern area that the salmon reach in their spawn. I come from a people that were people that respected and loved salmon on the way to the Columbia. DH: So you mentioned some of the geography and the area that you are connected with. How would you define your community in terms of geography and people? JA: We’re Salishan peoples of the interior plateau. There are quite a number of Salishan tribes in the interior Columbia River Basin area, and we’re simply one of them. One of the things about the Okanagan is that, the Okanagan Lake System of course is quite a large lake system, and empties into the Okanagan River and meets the Columbia River at Brewster, Washington. So my Nation, the Okanagan Nation, is actually larger than the Okanagan valley and it was simply a name attributed to us because I guess the population of people in the Okanagan Valley was significant.

  • Okanagan Water Systems: an Historical Retrospect of Control, Domination and Change
    OKANAGAN WATER SYSTEMS: AN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT OF CONTROL, DOMINATION AND CHANGE by MARLOWE SAM B.A., The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2008 © Marlowe Sam, 2008 Abstract In this study, I examine the history of colonial control, domination, and change that began in the Interior Plateau region of British Columbia in 1811 when interaction between the Syilx (Okanagan) and European explorers first occurred. I focus on water use practices in particular, employing an indigenous Syilx approach (En’owkinwixw) in order to display the negative impacts of colonial policies on the Syilx and their environment. The En’owkinwixw methodology, which calls for the incorporation of multiple perspectives, is thousands of years old, but has been modified here from its original consensus-based decision-making process. The manner in which the U.S. government developed resource and water management policies in America’s arid Far West directly influenced the models that were later adopted by British Columbia and Canada. U.S. Supreme Court decisions along with a number of international treaties and trade agreements between the United States and Canada have also compromised the ability of the Syilx to maintain a sustainable and harmonious relationship with their environment. Depression era policies in the United States led to the implementation of large-scale projects such as the damming of the Columbia River that had further negative consequences on the environment of the Interior Plateau.

It explains how the resultant decision making models of Indigenous people, based on their traditions and culture, have promoted sustainable growth and development more in harmony with ecological systems. In a 1992 address to the United Nations, a Hopi spiritual leader warned of his tribe’s prophecy that stated there are two world views or paths that humankind can take. Path One is based on technology that is separate from natural and spiritual law. This path leads to chaos and destruction. Path Two development remains in harmony with natural law and leads to paradise. Therefore humans, as children of Mother Earth, need to clean up the messes before it is too late and get onto Path Two and live in harmony with natural law. 4 Water is the focus for this dissertation, as it crosses all aspects of life. Rivers, for example, have a dual purpose. They are a source of life.

  • GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES and the PRESERVATION and DISPLAY of NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL RESOURCES in the MIDDLE COLUMBIA BASIN
    AN ABSTRACT CF THE THESIS OF Elva Olson Michael for the degree of Masterof Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies: Anthropology, Art, and Resource Recreation presented on July 25, 1979 Title: GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES and THE PRESERVATIONAND DISPLAY OF NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL RESOURCES IN THE MIDDLE COLUMBIA BASIN Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Thomas C. Hogg , " Prior to advent of Europeans in thePacific Northwest, the Middle Columbia River Basin was thelocation of highly develped native cultures. For centuries it was the center of very important native trade networksthat extended over western North America and a site ofimportant intertribal rituals relating to renewal of natural andfood resources. It possessed remarkably rich cultural resourceswhich are part of our national heritage andtrust. Today the Pacific Northwest Region isthe locus of 53 dam's which have inundated formervillages, fishing grounds, and prehistoric sites ofIndian people. This is especially true along the ColumbiaRiver. The construction of The Dalles Dam in 1952 institutedprior removal of ap- proximately forty of the 450prehistoric petroglyphs along the banks of the Long Narrowsand Celilo Falls, just east of The Dalles, Oregon. Following the removal of these native works of art, they werestored at The Dalles Dam site where they have remained for twenty-seven years. The situation of the petroglyphs prompted the question of who is responsible for their care, preservation, and proper interpretation. Research was conducted to examine pertinent federal and state policies as revealed in laws, regulations, executive orders, and in the actions and statements of public officials whose responsibilities relate to cultural resources. It was determined that laxity in enforcement of the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906 allows the petroglyphs to have remained in obscurity over the years and to never have been properly cared for or interpreted in a scientific or educational context.

  • An Advanced Course in Colville-Okanagan Salish Revised 06/5/17 2
    N̓səl̓xcin̓ 3 An Advanced Course in Colville-Okanagan Salish by Sʕamtíc̓aʔ (Sarah Peterson) and Christopher Parkin 2nd edition n̓səl̓xcin̓3: An Advanced Course in Colville-Okanagan Authors’ Notes The first edition of n̓səl̓xcin̓ 3 was developed over the course of several years, from April 2007 to April of 2015 with support from Salish School of Spokane, The Center for Interior Salish, The Paul Creek Language Association, the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, and the First People’s Heritage, Language, and Culture Council of British Columbia. This book is the fifth in a series of six books that comprise the N̓səl̓xcin̓ CurriculumProject that is being developed by Salish School of Spokane and The Paul Creek Language Association and our partners. This 2017 second edition includes corrections, additional comprehension and grammatical exercises, as well as revised spellings. This work is meant to offer advanced students an opportunity to hear and read n̓səl̓xcin̓ language texts about animals, plants, and cultural topics that are at the heart of Syilx (Salish) culture. The narratives are accompanied by vocabulary lists, comprehension questions, verbal paradigms, example sentences and grammatical notes. Before studying this book, students are expected to have mastered the material in the first four books, N̓səl̓xcin̓ 1, Captíkʷł ,1 N̓səl̓xcin̓2 , and Captíkʷł ,2 that precede this work in the overall Salish Curriculum Project series. Sʕamtíc̓aʔ (Sarah Peterson) provided all of the n̓səl̓xcin̓ language texts in this work, translating from English originals researched and composed by Christopher Parkin. The overall organization of this work, including selection of texts, follow up questions, grammatical exercises, choice of themes, scope, and sequence are the work of Christopher Parkin.
