Athapaskans and Migrations : The Archaeology of Eagle Lake, British Columbia
In: 44539
This document represents the first complete draft of Athapaskan Migrations: The Archaeology of Eagle Lake, British Columbia, published by University of Arizona Press in 2007. The Press required a substantial reduction in the size of the MS and about 30% of the text and about 50% of the figures were removed. Some of the principal arguments were abbreviated and fuller discussion can be found in this document. Other space reductions were in part mitigated by removing six sections and hosting them as on-line appendices at the University of British Columbia Library cIRcle and these can be seen at: http://hdl.handle.net/2429/39217. This 2003 MS was the basis of Matson's testimony as an expert witness in the Roger William v British Columbia case and cited numerous times in Judge Vickers' decision (Tsilhqot'in Nation v British Columbia, 2007 BCSC 1700) granting the Tsilhqot'in land title for the rst time in Canada, which was upheld in a 8 to 0 decision by the Canadian Supreme Court in 2014 (Tsilhqot'in Nation v British Columbia, 2014 SCC44). The required reductions to the length of the manuscript meant that any discussion of the court case was not possible in the published version, although we made certain changes as a result of our participation in the case. Magne's participation is essentially unacknowledged in the court proceedings because his position as a Federal civil servant meant that his formal involvement could only have been on the Government's side, for which he declined to appear. Matson therefore spoke largely for Magne and himself in his testimony. ; Arts, Faculty of ; Non UBC ; Anthropology, Department of ; Unreviewed ; Faculty
