<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>I'm hoping to connect with someone who's familiar with the area around Ocean Falls and can give some advice on a suitable Indigenous territorial acknowledgement for the area. Ocean Falls had a Japanese Canadian community before it was uprooted in 1942, and we want to feature it, and its relationship to BC's lumber industry, in a map that will appear in a new version of our core exhibit on Japanese Canadian history. (The map will include many significant sites throughout BC, but we are choosing a small number to highlight with descriptions and Indigenous territory acknowledgements, namely Steveston, Haney, Powell Street, Ocean Falls, Cumberland, Tashme, and New Denver).</div><div><br></div><div>I looked up Ocean Falls on <a href="http://native-land.ca" target="_blank">native-land.ca</a> and found Nuxalk and Heiltsuk as the nations whose territory it is, but would love to speak with someone who has been part of conversations about suitable acknowledgements for these particular nations in relation to this area. Please email me at cnakagawa[at]<a href="http://nikkeiplace.org" target="_blank">nikkeiplace.org</a> if you might be able to help.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div>Carolyn</div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:rgb(127,127,127)">Carolyn Nakagawa</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)"></span></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px">Education Program Developer</span><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="color:rgb(127,127,127);font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px">Email monitored Tuesdays - Fridays</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:rgb(127,127,127)"><br></span></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:red">Nikkei</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:rgb(127,127,127)"> National Museum & Cultural Centre</span></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:rgb(127,127,127)"><span><a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=6688+Southoaks+Crescent,+Burnaby+BC%C2%A0+V5E+4M7&entry=gmail&source=g" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">6688 Southoaks Crescent, Burnaby BC</a>  <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=6688+Southoaks+Crescent,+Burnaby+BC%C2%A0+V5E+4M7&entry=gmail&source=g" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">V5E 4M7</a><br></span><b>T</b> </span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)"><a href="tel:(604)%20777-7000" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">604.777.7000</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:rgb(127,127,127)"> ext. 113  <b>F</b> </span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)"><a href="tel:(604)%20777-7001" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">604.777.7001</span></a></span></p></div></div></div></div></div>
