		<title>Film &#8216;Local Hero&#8217; (1983) Resonates with the Land and Resource Disputes of Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw an incredible film called Local Hero during a trip away from home in August. It is the story of a man from a Texas oil company sent to Scotland to buy up all of the property on an ocean bay for the construction of an oil refinery. It is presumed by the company [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Moose Hunting Regulations in Northwest BC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: theTyee.ca has picked up the story: Province shortens hunting season following Tahltan blockades. And, HuntingBC.ca now has a discussion board related to the topic of new hunting regulations in the Klappan.

		<title>Sea-to-sky Cultural Tour: Audio Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you know, I am a huge fan of the new Skwxwū7mesh (Squamish) and/or Liĺwat7ul (Lilwat) Cultural Tour up the Sea-to-sky Highway. I&#8217;ve blogged previously about the tour and the Skwxwū7mesh Liĺwat7ul Cultural Centre in Whistler. I now see on the SLCC website an audio accompaniment to the drive up the highway. The downloadable zip [...]]]></description>

		<title>Splatsin-Douglas College Field School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I lasted posted about the field school I am putting together, I&#8217;ve made two trips out to the indigenous host community. Last week, I participated in a information meeting in which community members were introduced to the idea of having students living on their reserve next summer. The assembled group &#8211; small but supportive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Double Ended, No Headed Moose and More from Congress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a great time at Congress10 in Montreal last week. More properly, I attended the meetings of the Canadian Anthropology Association (CASCA) which happened to be meeting with Congress. As previously noted, I was part of a round-table discussion of applied anthropology. Our panel discussed the following, pre-distributed questions: 1) What questions are being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canadian Anthropology Meetings (CASCA)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be attending the Canadian Anthropology Society meetings (CASCA) next week. I am part of a round-table discussion on practicing (applied) anthropology. From the session abstract: This roundtable is aimed at sparking a dialogue with/between anthropologists who are practising largely outside academia or within academia but within a largely applied context &#8230; The roundtable will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Capilano U Archaeology Field School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of visiting the Capilano University Archaeology Field School at one of their sites in the Seymour watershed (North Vancouver) this morning. In its twelfth year, and always under the direction of Bob Muckle, the Field School is unearthing a Japanese history in the forests of Vancouver&#8217;s north shore. The site is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Discussions of Hunting Protests in Northern BC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my summer projects is to learn more about public attitudes towards indigenous rights in British Columbia. I am also looking for current examples of the stigmas and stereotypes associated with indigenous hunting by non-native people (Figure 2, in which foraging is confused with pastoralism, for example). Conveniently, events surrounding a blockade in Tahltan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skwxwū7mesh Liĺwat7ul Cultural Centre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Through the tour, workshops, film, and hearing the Skwxwū7mesh language I was left with the sense that the Squamish and Lilwat peoples and their cultures are vibrant and thriving.&#8221; The Skwxwū7mesh Liĺwat7ul Cultural Centre (Squamish Lilwat Cultural Centre) in Whistler is a fantastic culmination to the Sea-to-sky Cultural Journey (related post). I arrived at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sea-to-Sky Cultural Journey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The highway signs look official and authentic and, as such, present the Skwxwū7mesh (Squamish) and/or Liĺwat7ul (Lilwat) languages on equal footing with English all along the route.&#8221; Inspired by Quentin Mackie&#8217;s recent blog post, rave reviews from friends of the Squamish Lil&#8217;wat Cultural Centre, and several recent drives to Whistler, I set out to explore [...]]]></description>
