Hul'qumi'num peoples in the Gulf Islands: re-storying the Coast Salish landscape
Graduate A negotiated, cooperative co-management arrangement between six Coast Salish First Nations and Parks Canada has created an opportunity for Hul’qumi’num peoples to “re-story” a colonized landscape in the southern Gulf Islands archipelago east of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
