North Coast Food Security and Access to Resources Survey

Kitsumkalum Food Security and Access to Resources 2023 Survey

The North Coast Cumulative Effects Project Team, in conjunction with Kitsumkalum, was created to promote effective collaboration between First Nations and the provincial government. Since 2014, capital investment in the North Coast region has increased, resulting in more infrastructure and transportation development, power generation, and natural resource development and operations. The increase of these activities has led to impacts and cumulative effects in the North Coast region. Rather than considering impacts individually, cumulative effects consider the accumulation of impacts from human activities and natural disturbances over time and within a landscape. As part of this initiative, the Project Team has created this survey on Food Security and Access to Resources for the members of Kitsumkalum Nation. You may have seen a similar survey in the past.

This survey is intended to support the development of a cumulative effects management assessment, develop policy recommendations, gather baseline information to complement existing data, and identify areas for future research and surveys. The intent is to monitor change over time.

This survey is composed of the consent agreement and the following four survey topics:

1) Participation in resource-based activities

2) Understanding barriers to participation

3) Concerns about harvested resources

4) Loss of favorite areas/routes

There are 17 questions that may take up to 30 minutes to complete.

YOU WILL RECEIVE A $25 GROCERY CARD FOR COMPLETING THIS SURVEY, AND ONE ENTRY FOR THE GRAND PRIZE DRAW FOR A NEW IPAD! Please provide your name and contact information at the end of the survey. Thank-you for your time!

Part 1: Participation in resource-based activities

The following question asks about your participation in resource-based activities.

Resource-based activities are any activity that collects or uses harvested resources. For example, resource-based activities may include: fishing, gathering, hunting, trapping, preparing, crafting, consuming, sharing, trading, ceremonial activities, or sharing knowledge of harvested resources.

Harvested resources are any plant, tree, animal, fish, shellfish, or marine mammal that are either fished, gathered, hunted, or trapped on the land or water.

Question Title

* 6. Have you participated in any of the following resource-based activities with in the last 3 years: (select all that apply):

Fishing (food, including herring roe)

Gathering – intertidal (includes seaweed)

Gathering – kelp

this only includes kelp – roe on kelp is captured under fishing

Gathering – plants, berries, trees (includes tree products such as bark)

Hunting (includes trapping) – marine mammals

Hunting (includes trapping) – land mammals

Hunting (includes trapping) – birds

Preparing of harvested resources (e.g. smoking, drying, cleaning, canning, etc.)

Consuming harvested resources (e.g. eating, drinking, medicinal, etc.)

Sharing and trading harvested resources

Ceremonies or cultural activities that require harvested resources

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 7. For those activities that you answered yes to in question 6 (above), has your participation changed within the last 3 years? Options are: increased, decreased, stayed the same, don’t know/not sure.

If participant answered “No”, then do not complete Part 2, skip to Part 3.

Part 2: Understanding possible barriers to participating in resource-based activities

Question Title

* 9. We would like to understand if there are barriers to your ability to participate in the resource-based activities that were identified in the previous questions. A barrier is considered to be anything that would limit your participation in a resource-based activity (e.g. harvesting, processing, sharing, etc.).

Part 3: Understanding concerns related to harvested resources

The following questions are to gather information on what harvested resources you are personally most concerned about and to determine the nature of your concern. You will be asked to comment on each abundance, accessibility and quality separately. You will also be asked if you personally harvest each resource or if you obtain the harvested resource in another way (i.e.: participate).

Harvested resources are considered to be any plant, tree, animal, fish, shellfish, or marine mammal that are either fished, gathered, hunted, or trapped on the land or water.

Abundance means the amount, or number, of the resource present in harvesting areas.

Accessibility means the ability to access the resource without facing barriers or challenges.

Quality means the condition or health of the resource.

The following four sections on harvested resources are included in this survey:

A.      Fished Resources
B.      Harvested Intertidal Resources
C.      Harvested Land and Marine Animals
D.      Harvested Plants, Berries, and Trees
