Ła alˈalgya̱g̱̱a la̱xyuuba Gitḵˈaˈata (The Territory of the Gitgaˈat Speaks)
Place‐names in Indigenous languages have long been researched as indices of multidimensional layers of knowledge in, and connections to, Indigenous territories. This paper discusses new research on the place‐names of La̱xg̱a̱ltsˈa̱p, a sacred watershed of the Gitḵˈaˈata (Gitgaˈat First Nation), a Smˈalgya̱x‐speaking people of the Pacific Northwest Coast. These names are best understood when seen through an Indigenous lens by people with lived kno…
Human–nature relationships through the lens of reciprocity
In the context of climate change, biodiversity decline and social injustice, reciprocity emerges as a way of living and being in this world that holds transformative potential. Concepts of reciprocity vary and are enacted in specific cultural practices grounded in Indigenous and local knowledge systems. This editorial synthesises first‐hand evidence of how practising reciprocity can result in positive reciprocal contributions between people and n…
Gugwilx'ya'ansk and goats
Indigenous peoples' deep time relationships with ecosystems hold valuable lessons on how humans can relate to, and be stewards in, the natural world. At the crux of these lessons is the multifaceted way Indigenous peoples participate within ecosystems. This paper describes this multifaceted connection between people and place by analysing a legal and pedagogical philosophy called gugwilx'ya'ansk amongst the Ts'msyen (Tsimshian) people of the nort…
Wil Luunda ‘Waada aks (Where the Waters Meet)
The geomorphological dynamism of estuarine landscapes provides challenges to archaeologists trying to understand the long-term, intertwined histories of people and place in these ecotones. This is especially the case in regions like the Northwest Coast of North America, where the location of the interface between river and coast has shifted in tandem with changing relative sea level (RSL) positions in the late Pleistocene through the Holocene. We…
The Moore Islands Project
We explore the long-term environmental and human history of a small outer coast archipelago on the Northwest Coast in western Canada. Using relative sea-level change, we reconstruct ancient landscapes to design archaeological surveys that document a rich archaeological record spanning at least 11 000 years and demonstrate the cultural centrality of this geographically marginal landscape
Scientists' Warning to Humanity on Threats to Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems
The knowledge systems and practices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities play critical roles in safeguarding the biological and cultural diversity of our planet. Globalization, government policies, capitalism, colonialism, and other rapid social-ecological changes threaten the relationships between Indigenous Peoples and local communities and their environments, thereby challenging the continuity and dynamism of Indigenous and Local Knowle…

Raven bloodlines, Tsimshian identity
Raven Bloodlines, Tsimshian Identity is an ethnographic discussion on the sociopolitical values lived by the Tsimshian. This thesis is written from my own Tsimshian perspective, describing my pedagogical journey of Tsimshian identity, politics, and law in a matrilineal society. This thesis aims to recognize the inclusiveness and importance of matrilineal ties between intertribal communities, and highlight how western interpretations of anthropolo…
Historical Ecology of Cultural Keystone Places of the Northwest Coast
For many Indigenous peoples, their traditional lands are archives of their histories, from the deepest of time to recent memories and actions. These histories are written in the landscapes' geological features, contemporary plant and animal communities, and associated archaeological and paleoecological records. Some of these landscapes, recently termed "cultural keystone places" (CKPs), are iconic for these groups and have become symbols of the c…
