| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This workshop was initiated by Scotty Holmes, Water Stewardship Coordinator for the Coldwater Indian Band, and was inspired by the success and collaboration fostered at two previous workshops on similar subject matter: the Hydrological Impacts of Mountain Pine Beetle in the Fraser Basin (March 2010 in Kamloops) and Fostering Collaborative Responses to Hydrological Changes in the Nicola Watershed (March 2011 in Merritt) workshops, both of which were facilitated by the Fraser Basin Council. To continue the momentum, collaboration, relationship-building, and knowledge sharing of these two events, a third workshop was held to provide an opportunity to discuss the topics of eco-health and traditional ecological knowledge (also known as Aboriginal knowledge) and how they be better integrated into the ﾓwestern scienceﾔ scheme of watershed management with considerations for climate change. Funding for the workshop is acknowledged from Health Canada, Coldwater Indian Band, Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition, Stuwix Resources Ltd., and Upper Nicola Band. The two day workshop was attended by members of Coldwater and Upper Nicola Indian Bands, foresters, elected officials, academia, engineers, concerned citizens, students, and civil servants. In total, nearly 50 people were registered for the workshop representing a variety of interests in eco-health and watershed management. This document summarizes the presentations and dialogue of the workshop held in Merritt on October 19th and 20th, 2011. The presentations are available online at www.fraserbasin.bc.ca and www.coldwaterband.org and are in portable document format, viewable with Adobe Acrobat, and are named as the presenters' last name (e.g., Scotty Holmes presentation is named Holmes.pdf). |
