SESSION 5
Cumulative Effects on the Different Dimensions of Indigenous Health

One of the challenges in cumulative impact assessments is the disconnect between the actual Indigenous health effects and western scientific health narratives, as well as western thinking of impact causalities. Translating cumulative cultural, social & ecological impacts of environmental change on Indigenous health to western medical understanding requires a fundamental reframing of stories related to health.

Indigenous determinants of health and Indigenous health indicators are excellent approaches that were developed to help address the challenge. In this talk, Paivi Abernethy invites participants on a journey that will help take the translations of their own health stories to the next level, on their own terms – and help Indigenous communities make a stronger case when needed.

Paivi Abernethy, Research Fellow, Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria and Member of the ICCE Technical Advisory Committee

SESSION 6
#TeamSku7pecen Intern Program: Cumulative Effects and Well-Being 

Qwelmínte Secwépemc (QS) is a collective of seven Secwépemc communities, working with four provincial ministries in British Columbia, across a spectrum of topics related to their nation’s rights and title, striving for equal decision-making and recognized jurisdiction over their territories. 

The QS office has developed a #TeamSku7pecen model and Intern Program based on the concept of Walks on Two Legs and includes cumulative effects project work. In 2021, Qwelmínte Secwépemc partnered with Barry Wilson of CE Analytic to support three post-secondary interns through a 16-week Cumulative Effects Modelling and Scenario Planning training program. They will be running the CFX Program again in our 2022 Summer Intern Program.    

By training and preparing these future guardians with the necessary technical knowledge, Qwelmínte Secwépemc hopes to reduce conflict over their lands and resources by gaining support for Secwépemc land management capacity, with the goal of enabling self-determined governance of our territories. For the Qwelmínte Secwépemc, building capacity and knowledge within the area of cumulative effects is critical to moving reconciliation forward. They understand, as Indigenous people, that cumulative effects, holistic land management and wellbeing are intrinsically connected.

Session 7
Pulling Up the Roots: A Dialogue on Grounding Cumulative Impacts in Indigenous Rights and Nation-Based Knowledge 

In this dialogue, we will explore the limits and risks of conventional cumulative impacts science through a call to re-center impact assessment in nation-based knowledge systems. The presenters will do this by drawing on a collaboration that aims to progress methods that address the cumulative impacts of resource development in the context of climate change and state recognized and affirmed Indigenous rights and laws.

In British Columbia, there are several examples of Indigenous approaches to health and wellness indicators that contest the overlapping physical burden of resource development on lands, waters, animals, and health. The speakers’ analysis aims to uproot cumulative impacts science and ground it in Indigenous nation-based principles and laws and the development of health indicators indigenous to the land and waters, that necessarily connect healthy lands and waters to healthy people.
