Kayaking with Respect in First Nation Traditional Lands
with Norm Marcy
Norm will talk about the underpinnings of First Nations interests and rights on the BC Coast. He will discuss current developments in public discourse involving First Nations issues. This is especially important in understanding the potential for conflict with the increase in recreation on First Nations traditional territories including comprehending the shifting perspectives of this type of recreational usage. The listeners will also get a better understanding of approaches involving the care of the lands and waters we all share to ensure long term access.
Norm has been kayaking since the late 1970s and has been on ocean adventures in BC, Alaska, Central America and Russia. Since 1990, he has been actively involved in over 75 negotiations with First Nations. His background and experience helped him bring knowledge in developing the BC Marine Trails First Nation Engagement Strategy. Norm is a member of the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC's Indigenous Reconciliation Committee.
