  • Addressing the Challenge of Overlapping Claims in Implementing the Vancouver Island (Douglas) Treaties

    Open AccessB ThomARTICLEAnthropologica2020References: 9

    Indigenous social and legal orders are a source for addressing the challenge of overlapping claims in exercising historic treaty rights in the territories of neighbouring non-treaty Indigenous Peoples. The Vancouver Island Treaties (also known as the Douglas Treaties) of the 1850s made commitments that signatory communities could continue to hunt on unoccupied lands and carry on their fisheries as formerly. Today, as urban, agricultural and indus…

  • Reframing Indigenous Territories

    Open AccessB ThomARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…2014

    This paper considers the implications of the powerful "overlapping territories" map produced by the government of Canada in its attempt to refute human rights violations charges brought by Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

  • Le sens du lieu et les revendications territoriales contemporaines des Salishs de la Côte

    B Thom, Geneviève DionneARTICLERecherches amérindiennes au Québec2004

    Cet article étudie la façon dont les concepts théoriques du « lieu » peuvent être utiles pour mieux comprendre les différences entre les perceptions des premières nations et celles des Eurocanadiens en ce qui a trait au territoire. Ancré dans la tradition de l’anthropologie phénoménologique, le concept de « lieu » est compris comme un puissant point de rencontre de diverses expériences individuelles et collectives, qui façonne et est lui-même faç…
