Project Summary

The project incorporates Heiltsuk Traditional Knowledge and Values into ecosystem-based management planning within Strategic Landscape Reserve Design (SLRD) Landscape Units. The SLRD process seeks to identify areas to set aside from logging (harvesting) over short and long term timeframes. Heiltsuk Traditional Use Studies (HTUS) identify harvesting and other types of cultural sites that are important to Heiltsuk well-being. HTUS data has been incorporated into GIS so that it can inform a wide range of spatial analyses. The base-line study, Map Biography, also identifies knowledge holders who will be engaged in identifying management principles.

The first step for the Heiltsuk SLRD was to undertake a GIS exercise and analysis in four landscape units using data layers in GIS to buffer HTUS sites and recorded archaeological sites, and areas with high potential for presence of monumental and other cedar, plants, aquatic habitat and other resources that are of ongoing cultural importance. Next steps include expanding the GIS and analytical exercise to other landscape units (40), ground-truthing, and holding community information sessions with TUS informants, trapline owners and broad Heiltsuk membership to receive input on proposed reserves and help identify any areas we may have missed. The final step will be negotiating in a government-to-government process to set aside as reserves the areas identified through the above processes, as well as areas that others have identified as being important for maintaining biodiversity and aquatic values.

Project Proposal

Through a series of government-to-government planning processes and agreements in 2001-20091, the Heiltsuk and neighbouring Nations have been working to implement ecosystem-based management. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has been defined as:

A strategic approach to managing human activities that seeks to ensure the coexistence of healthy, fully functioning ecosystems and human communities. The intent is to maintain those spatial and temporal characteristics and processes of whole ecosystems such that component species and human social, economic, and cultural activities can be sustained.

The Heiltsuk Nation supports the concepts and guiding principles of EBM. It is consistent with Gvi’ilas2, in that it focuses first on what to leave behind to sustain healthy ecosystems and communities over the long term, rather than focusing on what resources can be removed to generate short-term profits. Maintaining opportunities for traditional uses of lands and waters to continue is part of EBM. Traditional use sites are in many cases still used today for traditional cultural practices. These sites include fishing sites, hunting grounds, traplines and gathering areas for food and medicinal plants. Other historical and spiritual sites include burial grounds, old village sites, traditional camp sites, hotsprings, shell middens, fish traps, cultural landscapes (landscapes associated with legends, myths and stories), locations with culturally modified trees, rock carvings and pictographs, sites of traditional resource management practices, such as controlled burning, clam gardens, and harvesting of cultural wood products (e.g. cedar bark, monumental cedars) in addition to registered archaeological sites. Government-to-government approaches to implement EBM involved developing a collaborative governance framework and agreeing on zoning for different levels and types of uses, including: Conservancies/ Protected Areas; Biodiversity, Mining and Tourism Areas; and EBM Operating Areas (where forestry and other types of development may be permitted to occur). Within EBM operating areas we are applying a Strategic Landscape Reserve Design (SLRD) process. The key goals of the SLRD are to:

Show spatially where the targets for traditional First Nation forest and heritage, old growth forest, aquatic and biodiversity values in Land Use Objectives that were legally established by Ministerial Order can be located and maintained;

Achieve progress toward First Nation cultural and economic objectives;

Provide guidance to licensees about values on the ground; and

Provide the baseline for a conservation gap analysis.

1 In 2001, Coastal First Nations and the Province entered into a General Protocol Agreement on Land Use Planning and

Interim Measures whereby they committed to work together in a spirit of mutual recognition, respect and reconciliation to resolve land use conflicts and implement interim measures initiatives. In 2006, each of the Nations, First Nations and the Province entered into a Strategic Land Use Planning Agreement (“SLUPA”), and collectively as the Coastal First Nations entered into the Land and Resource Protocol (“LRPA”) with the Province, whereby they committed to work on a Government to Government basis to implement their land use decisions and Ecosystem-Based Management. Flowing from these, a Reconciliation Protocol was signed in 2009 acknowledging coexistence of competing rights and titles, and as a bridging step to a future reconciliation of Aboriginal title, rights, and interests with provincial title, rights, and interests.

2 Gvi’ilas is a Heiltsuk term that encompasses a wide range of rules and prescriptions for human behavior with respect to

each other and with the broader natural environment. A key outcome is maintaining human and natural resilience throughout Heiltsuk traditional territory.

We are seeking support to continue preliminary work that has been completed to show where First Nation forest and heritage resources occur. The support would be used for field verification/ground-truthing and community information sessions.

Objective

This project will contribute to Heilsuk achieving our vision for our territory:

Since time immemorial, we, the Heiltsuk people, have managed all of our territory with respect and reverence for the life it sustains, using knowledge of all marine and land resources passed down for generations. We have maintained a healthy and functioning environment while meeting our social and economic needs over hundreds of generations. Our vision for this area remains unchanged. We will continue to balance our needs with sustaining the land and resources that support us. We will continue to manage all Heiltsuk seas, lands and resources according to customary laws, traditional knowledge, and nuyem (oral tradition) handed down by our ancestors, with consideration of the most current available scientific information3.

TEK4 will be integrated to GIS in the form of inputs by HIRMD Managers, following field verification and community input sessions. A project report will also speak to the methodology used to solicit input/TEK from Heiltsuk members.

This project aligns with NPCC goals of:

Maximize the ability of partners to make informed decisions with respect to conservation and sustainable resource management of priority natural and cultural resources subject to climate change and related large-scale stressors in the NPLCC region (our intent is to maintain cedar and salmon, among other species, for future generations)

Promote identification, use, and sharing of science, traditional knowledge and other relevant information to support conservation/sustainable resource management, and adaptive management decisions (by supporting reserve designation process)

Promote coordination and efficiency of efforts among resource managers and science entities that are addressing science, traditional knowledge and other relevant information to landscape level conservation/sustainable resource management (support to assist Aboriginal participation and input to processes; with the exception of a few pilot studies, draft SLRD outcomes to date have only had forest company licensee, provincial and environmental organization input)

3 Heiltsuk Land Use Plan, 2005.

4 "TEK...can generally be defined as a body of knowledge built up by a group of people through generations of living in

close contact with nature. It includes a system of classification, a set of empirical observations and concepts or understandings about the local environment (often referred to as "the land"), and a system of rules or ethics that governs human behaviour and use of resources. The quantity and quality of this knowledge varies among community members, depending upon gender, age, social status, intellectual capability, and profession (hunter / trapper, spiritual leader, healer, etc.) With its roots firmly in the past, traditional environmental knowledge is both cumulative and dynamic, building upon experience of earlier generations, adapting to socio-economic and environmental changes and adopting useful aspects of technological innovation." (adapted from the Dene Cultural Institute, as quoted in Heiltsuk Guiding Principles for Scientific Research 1995).

Methods

Field Verification of map polygons: Archaeological, traditional forest resource and aquatics staff will verify certain TUS categories including village and camp sites and other cultural features, fish stream and site index and cedar and other forest values presence or absence by visiting sites on preliminary maps that have been generated and recording data with a Garmin GPS unit, and taking photos to integrate into reports.

Community information and input sessions: Approximately 10 focus group sessions will be scheduled to go over results following field verification, and to seek feedback and input from hereditary chiefs and families that hold traplines and are known to use each area. Two or more community-wide information and input sessions will follow, to verify results and receive additional input.

Geographic Extent

Heiltsuk territory encompasses 16,658 square kilometers of land as well as extensive nearshore and offshore waters in an area that has only recently come to be known as the Central Coast of British Columbia. Our territorial boundaries are defined by five Heiltsuk tribal groups and extend out to international waters. We have protected approximately half of the territory in Conservancies, Parks, and Biodiversity Areas (see attached map). The SLRD process and this project focus on the Ecosystem-based Management areas.

Timeline of Schedules, Products, Outcomes

See Appendix 2 – HIRMD workplan for SLRD with tasks and timelines. Our tentative timeline for the project phases for which we are applying for support extends from July 2012 through August 2013, and is funding dependent - dates for fieldwork, events, presentations, deliverables, reporting, and project completion can be tightened up once funding is confirmed.

Budget

See Appendix 3 – Project Budget. The overall project budget is a work in progress – we expect that it will exceed $200,000. Of this we request $50,000 from NPLCC, to support ¼ of the anticipated costs for the field verification and reporting, integrating those results to GIS, and for the community input sessions, and costs for integration of results from the above processes to revised maps.

We received preliminary funding from the provincial government - $40,000 was received in December, 2009; about half of that has been used on a facilitated planning session and GIS to date; HIRMD and QQS in-kind contributions have been extensive to date, and value for our time is only roughly estimated; in the future some budget may be allocated from anticipated carbon credit revenues; some of the time for graduate student Jordan Benner may be contributed by the Hakai Network for Coastal People, Ecosystems and Management.

Disclaimer regarding Data Sharing

Project data inputs are confidential, generalized outcomes/results will be shared, along with mapping of proposed landscape reserves and rationale for polygons within landscape units.

The final products will include a report and potentially a paper to be published in a peer reviewed journal; both the report and paper will include a summary of the publically available material and the process for getting it, lessons learned, and next steps. This approach to land use planning demonstrates a best practice, and will illustrate where Aboriginal people have taken a leadership role in planning for conservation with another level of government. It will result in a product which can be disseminated to other groups hoping to do something similar.

Special

1969— I have been blessed to have worked with elders in Bella Bella and

Klemtu, either on specific research projects beginning in 1969, or through

their involvement in the Yilistis Society and other elders’ groups beginning

in 1978. Although I cannot claim any special expertise as a result of this, it

has been a humbling experience, an inspiration, and a profound source of

insight to have enjoyed their trust and sharing of knowledge and wisdom. I

believe this trust and sharing is based upon their viewing me as part of a

team effort, involving Heiltsuk and non-Heiltsuk alike, to honour and pass

on important Heiltsuk knowledge and values to future generations. …My

late husband Cyril Carpenter was a constant source of knowledge,

inspiration, and encouragement—to me, the heart and soul of Heiltsuk

culture and service to community.
