In 1981 the Nisga'a Tribal Council in New Aiyansh and North Coast Tribal Council in Prince Rupert commissioned a feasibility study to determine whether there was interest among Indian people of coastal British Columbia in pursuing registered nurse (RN) education. The study resulted in a three year project, the Northern Native Indian Professional Nursing Program (NNIPNP) offering RN preparation which addressed the personal, social and cultural needs of prospective students, their families and communities, while ensuring quality education at par with provincial standards. This article discusses the project as a community-based initiative and my roles as program coordinator, cultural broker, advocate, and liaison between communities, students and the educational institutions offering the RN program.

Fine arts and culture have existed in British Columbia from the time that the First Peoples came to the North Pacific coast of Canada. Vancouver’s first fine arts library was established in 1930 at the Vancouver Public Library; significant collections have subsequently been developed at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design and the University of British Columbia. They serve a diverse clientele: students, artists and researchers. Outlook, a province-wide network, provides access via the Internet to library catalogues of public, college and institution libraries throughout the Province.

“Idiot sticks” was a derogatory term used to describe miniature totem poles made as souvenirs for white tourists by the artists of the Kwakwaka'wakw people of British Columbia in the early twentieth century. Tracking the post-contact history of the Kwakwaka'wakw using a combination of historical accounts and interviews with contemporary Kwakwaka'wakw artists, this article explores the obscured subversive and satirical nature of these objects as a form of resistance to settler colonialism, and in doing so reconsiders who really could be considered the “idiot” in this exchange.

Full textAbstract:
A comparison of pre-Treaty and post-Treaty land title and authority for First Nations pursuing carbon offsets in British Columbia will be filtered through three themes: property rights, shared decision-making and forest governance. The Indian Act (1876) has unclear jurisdiction for pursuing carbon offsets. The Haida Reconciliation Protocol-Kunst’aa guu-Kunst’aayah (2009), Coastal First Nations Reconciliation Protocol (2010) and Nanwakolas First Nations Reconciliation Protocol (2011) address this grey area and achieve protocols that provide certainty for carbon rights. Nisga’a, Tsawwassen, Maa-nulth and Sliammon treaties do not include carbon rights but have the power to instill a carbon project.

I have recently completed a research project that examined the media coverage of the 1995 Gustafsen Lake standoff in British Columbia. This standoff marked the largest Royal Canadain Mounted Police (RCMP) operation in the history of Canada—and the top national news story for nearly a month. The resolution of the conflict did not alter the British Columbia treaty process, or result in changes of ownership of contested land. However, the media coverage was extreme in its misinformation about the conflict and the characterizations of the people involved. In order to make policy recommendations I had to get "insider knowledge" of the media event. I did this by tracing the media processes and their relations with their most important source of information during the event, the RCMP.

Full textAbstract:
The Britannia - Indian River pendant is a composite of volcanic and sedimentary units within the Coast Plutonic Complex, southwestern British Columbia. Geology of the Indian River valley consists of a rhyolitic to basaltic calc-alkaline suite of volcanic flows and tuffs interbedded with shallow marine sedimentary rocks. The pendant is within Wrangellia and has been assigned to the Gambier Group of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous age.
K-Ar analyses indicate three major thermal events took place in the Britannia -Indian River pendant: (1) a late Early Cretaceous contact metamorphism (108 ± 4 Ma), (2) an early Late Cretaceous regional metamorphic reset associated with emplacement of granitoid plutons (96.1 ± 3.0 Ma, 95.6 ± 3.3 Ma), and (3) a Late Cretaceous (83.5 ± 3.0 Ma, 84.2 ± 2.9 Ma) metamorphic reset due to a deformational and/or intrusive event. A poorly defined whole rock Rb-Sr isochron from seven fresh-looking volcanic units indicates a 102 ± 10 Ma age that also probably reflects metamorphic reset. An internal Rb-Sr isochron comprising partial mineral separates from one sample yielded 93 ± 3 Ma, which supports the regional metamorphic reset.
Younger dykes and sills are dated as Early Oligocene (36.1 ± 1.3 Ma). These Tertiary intrusives are the same age as dykes in the city of Vancouver and indicate a more widespread magmatic event than previously recognized.
The stratigraphic section in the Indian River and Stawamus River valleys consists of more than 2,850 metres, and comprises seven units that trend northwesterly and dip moderately south or southwest. A change in the overall strike from northwest in the Indian River valley to west in the Stawamus Valley suggests either: (1) an angular unconformity within unit 4a, (2) the existence of a major shear zone in the Stawamus River valley, or (3) warping of the strata due to emplacement of the plutonic bodies. The stratigraphy in the Indian River area forms the western limb of a broad northwesterly trending antiform, overturned to the northeast. Along the Indian River a smaller anticline has been disrupted by several faults. These northwest trending faults are the northern extension of the Indian River shear zone.
The stratigraphic units are mainly subaqueous felsic to intermediate pyroclastic rocks, felsic and intermediate to mafic flows, and sedimentary rocks including cherts, argillites and greywackes. Major and trace element chemistry of volcanic units indicates the calc-alkaline rocks are dominantly rhyolite and basaltic andesite. Mafic units on Sky Pilot Mountain have a "borderline" tholeiitic - calc-alkaline character.Late Cretaceous lower greenschist facies metamorphism is related to emplacement of Coast Plutonic Intrusives. Intense cordierite-biotite contact metamorphism post-dates mineralization in the Slumach zone: a polymetallic quartz-chlorite vein with anomalous gold values. The War Eagle zone is a low grade volcanogenic system containing remobilized sulphides. Galena lead isotopic analyses of volcanogenic prospects in the Indian River valley are uniform and are less radiogenic than those of the Britannia volcanogenic ore bodies 10 kilometres to the west. The Indian River portion of the Britannia - Indian River pendant is proposed to be Late Jurassic in age while the Britannia area is Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of<br>Graduate

Artists are seldom consulted in the making of school art programs yet many are vitally concerned with the need for a visually literate public. This study summarizes the history of art education, examines recent issues documented by art educators, looks at opinions of artists of this century on the teaching of art, and presents interviews with six British Columbian artists to elicit their thoughts on what is necessary in a secondary school art curriculum.
The interviews are essentially informal in nature and only those remarks dealing with secondary school education, or related concepts, are included. The final chapter contains an infusion of the artists' ideas under headings suggested by issues raised by art educators. An evaluation of the data collected from the interviews leads to recommendations for consideration for secondary school programs and the conviction that artists should be encouraged to participate in matters relating to art education.<br>Education, Faculty of<br>Graduate

Thesis advisor: Peter Weiler<br>This dissertation examines the careers and cultural productions of West Indian artists and entertainers working in London between 1945 and 1965, a period of large-scale West Indian migration to Britain. It argues that these artists espoused a collective cultural politics that was both ethnically aware and actively integrationist. Their work emphasized the historic cultural ties between the "mother country" and the Caribbean colonies, but did so in an effort to challenge prevailing media depictions of New Commonwealth migration as an unwanted foreign deluge. As a result, these migrant artists were among the first to express the potential of Commonwealth multiculturalism in Britain. Unlike many post-war histories of British race relations that emphasize the marginalization of black artists from mainstream culture, this study will show how the first wave of post-war West Indian artists, like Edric and Pearl Connor, Cy Grant, Ronald Moody, and Lloyd and Barry Reckord, sought to reach out to a wider British audience. Although their careers and artistic expressions were shaped - and at times stifled - by British cultural institutions that exercised their own assumptions and priorities, they posed alternatives to racism in a nation painfully coming to terms with its imperial legacy and multicultural future<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2010<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Indian people in every agency in British Columbia
suffered an injustice when the McKenna-McBride joint commission
of the federal and provincial governments adjusted Indian reserve
lands between 1913 and 1916. The report of this Royal Commission
was amended before it was adopted by both governments in 1924,
but the amendments only served to compound the inequity. This
history of reserve land cut-offs in British Columbia considers
the individual development of federal and provincial Indian land
policies, the negotiations to homogenize them after union in
1871, and the efforts of Indians to resist reserve cut-offs.
The primary sources, many of them generated by the reserve
adjustment process of the Royal Commission, have allowed me to
calculate the relative values of lands cut off or added by the
commission, to discern the practical effects of the 1924
amendments, and to identify the principal consultants of the
commission. These results, considered together with secondary
sources which treat various aspects of reserve land cut-offs,
indicate that the injustice was done at the insistence of the
British Columbia government. Nevertheless, the federal
government must share in the blame. It betrayed its role of
protector of the Indians for the sake of creating a uniform
Indian policy, no matter how unjust.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>History, Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates an often disregarded aspect of the history of the Indian Residential School (IRS) system in British Columbia (BC): namely, the designs, aims, and uses of its architecture. Central to the dissertation is the contention that the IRS should not be considered a ―school‖ per se, as this label suggests not only kinship with a broad spectrum of institutions, but also intimates a place of salubrity and self-improvement. On the contrary, the study evinces the particular nature of the IRS: to disrupt the formation of genealogies between these structures and other modern institutions. This emphasis on distinctions—between the IRS and other modern buildings—is explored through a comparative architectural topology, meant to reveal the precise function of the IRS: to target certain colonized Indigenous subjects, to effect particular rationalities of colonial rule, and to produce distinct spaces within which to enforce new behavioural norms. Moreover, I argue that the IRS comprised places without place, non-places where Indigenous children, by design, were meant to no longer feel at home in their own societies, cultures, communities, and families.
In addition to rethinking IRS architecture in BC, the study also surveys several conflicting opinions on how—or if at all—to commemorate the institutional remnants of this complex and, often, painful history. Variously repurposed, neglected, or demolished, the former IRS pose several problems, in terms of determining their historical value and their place among existing national, provincial, and regional sites of memory. I analyse the official processes by which material and intangible traces of the past become bearers of heritage value. Following this, I investigate in depth the cluster of issues that trouble attempts to recognize and preserve the ―difficult heritage‖ of the IRS.

Full textAbstract:
Indian reserves in British Columbia have a unique history. When British Columbia joined Confederation, the Terms of Union required the province to convey reserve lands to Canada in trust, for the use and benefit of the Indians. That constitutional obligation, imposed by the Terms of Union, was not fulfilled until many years after the date of union. It was not until 1929 that a "form of tenure and mode of administration" for all reserves in the province was agreed upon by the two governments. Nine years later, the provincial government passed Order in Council 1036, which conveyed most reserves outside the old Railway Belt to Canada. Pursuant to the 1929 agreement, the reserves which had been established inside the Railway Belt, (a strip of land that had been transferred to Canada in 1884), were to be governed by the same terms and conditions found in Order in Council 1036. Other reserves, which had been established pursuant to treaty Number 8, were not formally transferred until 1961.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the history leading up to the transfer of reserve lands in British Columbia, and to critically analyze the title which passed pursuant to Order in Council 1036. The examination of Order in Council 1036 includes an analysis of the proprietary rights transferred, such as water and mineral rights. The transfer instrument is analysed in detail in order to determine what rights and interests were passed to the Dominion and what was reserved to the province. Because the reserves in the old Railway Belt share the same terms and conditions, pursuant to Privy Council Order 208, they will also be included in this study. The establishment and transfer of Treaty Eight reserves will not be dealt with here. However, due to the similarities in the transfer instruments, some of the comments and analysis with respect to the other reserves will be applicable to the Treaty Eight reserves.
The Constitution required the province to convey reserve lands to the Dominion. The term "conveyance" is not strictly appropriate to describe a transfer of property rights between levels of Her Majesty's governments. Therefore, certain aspects of Crown title and the transfer of property interests between levels of governemnt are examined herein. It is submitted that, because the Terms of Union required the "conveyance" of Indian reserves, the transaction must be analyzed from a constitutional law perspective.
One of the features of Order in Council 1036 is a reservation by the province of a right to resume up to one-twentieth of any reserve lands. That is a term of the conveyance that continues to concern Indian bands in British Columbia. It is submitted that this condition of the transfer is invalid because it is contrary to the requirements of the Terms of Union. The conveyance should not be construed as a grant of real estate, but rather as a transfer of proprietary interests pursuant to legislation. Order in Council 1036, (and the Federal counterpart, Privy Council Order 208), should be viewed as delegated legislation. It is further submitted that this delegated legislation is ultra vires to the extent that it purports to give the provincial government a power of resumption over Indian reserve lands.<br>Law, Peter A.

Full textAbstract:
A numerical model has been developed for the study of stratified tidal circulation in Indian Arm - a representative inlet on the southern coast of British Columbia. Equations for horizontal velocity, salt conservation, continuity, density (calculated as a linear function of salinity), and the hydrostatic approximation govern the dynamics. All equations have been laterally integrated under the assumption of negligible cross-inlet variability. The model is time dependent and includes nonlinear advective terms, horizontal and vertical turbulent diffusion of salt and momentum, and variations in width and depth. Provisions for surface wind stress and a flux of fresh water are also included, although neither was utilized in this study. An explicit finite difference scheme centred in both time and space was used to solve for the horizontal and vertical velocity components, salinity, and surface elevation on a staggered rectangular grid. A backward Euler scheme was used to suppress the computational mode. Tests using a semi-implicit scheme to solve the finite difference
equations over realistic topography led to numerical instabilities at modest values of the time step - in spite of the unconditional stability criteria - suggesting that linear stability analysis may give misleading results for strongly nonlinear systems. Surface elevations
calculated from tidal harmonic analysis and salinity timeseries derived from linearly interpolated CTD casts were prescribed at the open boundary.
Initial and boundary conditions based on observations in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm during the winter of 1974-75 were used to study the inlet's response to tidal forcing and to simulate the deep-water renewal that occurred during this period. Coefficients for the horizontal
turbulent diffusion of momentum and salt were set equal to 10⁶ cm² s⁻¹. Reducing this value by a factor of two was found to have little impact on the solution. A further reduction to 10³ cm² s⁻¹ led to numerical instabilities under conditions of dense water inflow. The side friction term in the momentum balance was tuned to match calculated and observed dissipation rates in Burrard Inlet; leading to good agreement between the observed and calculated barotropic tide. Contour plots of tidal amplitudes and phases for model currents and salinities revealed a standing wave pattern for the K₁ and M₂ internal tides in Indian Arm; thus allowing for the possibility of resonance. A comparison of model results with vertical amplitude and phase profiles from harmonic analysis of Cyclesonde current meter timeseries at two locations in Indian Arm was consistent with this result. A least-squares fit was made of the vertical modal structure in the model to the complex tidal amplitudes. This led to calculations of the kinetic energy contained in each of the modes along the model inlet for the M₂ and K₁ constituents. Most of the energy was found to be contained in the barotropic and first baroclinic modes, with the latter dominating in the deep basin, and the former dominating near the sill. Second mode energy was significant for the K₁ constituent at some locations in Indian Arm. There are clear indications in the model of barotropic tidal energy being radiated into the inlet basin via the internal tide.
Simulations of the influx of dense water into Indian Arm yielded exchange rates that are consistent with observed values and suggest the possibility of fine-tuning the model coefficients to allow prediction of future overturning events.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of<br>Graduate

Sheltinga, Janis Colette. "Death of a community, rebirth of a homeland? : planning processes for a Kwakiutl Indian community." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/28347.
Full textAbstract:
During the 1960s, residents of isolated Kwakiutl Indian communities, located near the northern tip of Vancouver Island in Johnstone Straight, were encouraged by representatives of the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) to relocate to regional urban centers. The majority of families from various Kwakiutl bands were, as a result, assimilated into non-native centers throughout the province.
This thesis examines the planning processes that contributed to the death of the Johnstone Straight communities; identifies the impacts of relocation on members of one Kwakiutl band, the Tanakteuk; and evaluates various alternatives for Indian development in the future, including an assessment of the desirability of reinhabitation of Kwakiutl homelands.
A literature review of international regional planning theory and development approaches points to the popularity of growth center development theory for two decades after World War Two. This theory continued to guide Canadian planning initiatives during the 1960s, resulting in the decline of rural communities, both native and non-native.
Interviews with Kwakiutl band members and former DIA personnel, and an examination of DIA documents, contribute to a profile of events leading to the relocation of Kwakiutl bands in the region. Consistent with the proponents of the growth center theory, DIA suspected that the costs of providing services and facilities could be minimized in urban centers as a result, of achieving economies of scale not possible with scattered villages, and that employment opportunities in industry would be greater. The department acted on this belief by reducing the provision of crucial services to the Johnstone Straight communities, without consulting those Indians directly affected.
An examination of documentation suggests that the relocation of Indians to urban centers was further advocated by DIA personnel for an additional reason: such a move would encourage Indians to abandon traditional lifestyles, and promote their assimilation into modern Canadian society. According to the assumptions on which orthodox development theory and DIA planning processes are based, Indians must adopt the values and lifestyles of participants in modern society for their development to proceed.
A questionnaire was administered to Tanakteuk Band members to investigate the impacts of relocation and the level of support for re-establishing the community of New Vancouver in their traditional homeland. Results of the survey demonstrate that the socio-economic conditions of the Tanakteuk families have not significantly improved as a result of being incorporated into mainstream Canadian society. In retrospect, growth center doctrine proved to be an inappropriate guide for the planning process for natives. While relocation may have increased access to services and facilities, it did not result in increased
employment opportunities. Moreover, by promoting assimilation into non-native societies, relocation threatened the cultural survival of the Tanakteuk. Having evaluated several options, the re-establishment of a community in New Vancouver has been identified by five Tanakteuk heads of households as the most rational means to strengthen their culture and further the long-term development of the Band. An alternative theory of development based on a synthesis of a territorial development approach and systems theory supports this planning option.
The case study of the Tanakteuk provides strong justification of the need for major changes to the planning processes used by the Department of Indian Affairs. An orthodox approach to development must be replaced by an alternative that aims to strengthen Indian society through the development of Indian economies within Indian cultural frameworks under the control of Indian political institutions. Planning processes must account for cultural differences of clientele.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
“Ronald Moody, from Primitive to Black British” offers the first thorough, academic account of this British sculptor’s career, work, and evolving ideology as he negotiated more than fifty years in the British and European art worlds. This research suggests that although Moody’s sculpture was—like that of so many artists of this generation—influenced by the experience of world war, European modernism, and decolonization, his reception by critics was dictated by the racial and imperial politics of the day. Whether he was exoticized as an exponent of Jamaican primitivism, praised as a Commonwealth artist, or hailed as a pioneer of Black British visual art, Moody’s dedication to universalism ranked him among the modernists of British sculpture.

Full textAbstract:
This short concluding chapter both reviews the arguments and chapters of The West Indian Generation and offers a postscript, bookending the experiences of these artists with the 1962 introduction of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act and continued immigration restriction in 1965 and after. If the Britain that artists like Edric Connor, Earl Cameron, Lord Kitchener and Barry Reckord evoked was multiracial, multicultural, and aware of its imperial (and later post-imperial) history and character, their tentative moment of multiculturalism was foreclosed by the mid-1960s. The 1965 foundation of the Caribbean Artists’ Movement, touched upon in this chapter, can be understood as a cultural counterpart to the sharpening political and social divisions that emerged around questions of race and belonging in London and a rapidly decolonizing British Empire.

Pearl Connor channelled the Corporation’s demand for colonial talent into the business of professionalizing and directing West Indian performers in London. She created opportunities for her clients by helping expand their niche and persuading producers to cast black actors in a wider range of roles. Cy Grant had the voice, looks, and charm to secure a long-running presence on the Tonight program. Their success highlights a moment when the BBC was open to a progressive vision of the nation’s future. Ultimately, however, the cultural priorities of these artists diverged from the Corporation, a fact that was strikingly apparent by the 1960s. Only then did the disillusionment so characteristic of later generations of ‘black British’ artists become pronounced.

“West Indies to London” tracks the migration process—its triumphs and challenges—for a generation of West Indians at the twilight of the British Empire. Their journey was facilitated by postwar economic growth and the 1948 British Nationality Act, which granted full citizenship to Commonwealth subjects who settled in Britain. Synthesizing both secondary and original research, including records of the London Council of Social Service, this chapter argues that whether they were colonial students, artists, or professionals in other fields, West Indian settlers in London shared powerful connections to British culture and society through bonds of language, education, and class.

The history of West Indian (or Caribbean) migration to Great Britain and its impact on British national identity have been the subjects of growing scholarly interest, but they are often viewed in terms of racial tension and conflict—as a series of crisis moments marked by violence and growing anti-immigration sentiment. This Introduction states the author’s thesis that in the years after the Second World War, when the British Empire was reinventing itself as a “New” Commonwealth, and decolonization was on the horizon, a coterie of artists fused a catholic array of concerns in their work and found an echo in the British cultural establishment. They worked within British cultural institutions and trends and expressed a positive vision of national belonging that was multi-racial, anti-racist, and focused on Britain’s historic connection to its West Indian colonies. In doing so, these men and women were less symbols of a racial divide or national angst than they were a driving force behind a postwar cultural revolution. The chapter also reviews some of the essential primary and secondary literature in British cultural studies, the history of Black Britain, and contemporary sociological studies of English “race relations.”

Full textAbstract:
During the summer of 1999, references to South Asian culture abounded within London—from the painstaking recreation of Hindi film star Dimple Kapadia’s bedroom in the Selfridges department store to McDonald’s introduction of the Lamb McKorma sandwich. This so-called “Indian Summer” served as a backdrop to the prominent commercial and critical success of British Asian musicians such as Talvin Singh, Nitin Sawhney, and Asian Dub Foundation and the emergence of British Asians in the mainstream media as poster children for Britain’s campaign to present itself as a vibrant cosmopolis. However this celebration of British Asian musicians, writers, artists, and actors sat uneasily alongside the socioeconomic reality of the Bangladeshi population in East London. The author explores two concurrent events—the Arts Worldwide Bangladesh Festival and the 000: British Asian Cultural Provocation Exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery—and attempts to navigate the quagmire of geography, music, and cultural identity they exposed.
