Being Gitka´a´ata : A Baseline Report on Gitka´a´ata Way of Life, a Statement of Cultural Impacts Posed by the Northern Gateway Pipeline, and a Critique of the ENGP Assessment Regarding Cultural Impacts Satterfield, Terre, 1960-; Robertson, Leslie A., 1962-; Turner, Nancy; Pitts, Anton

Abstract

This report does three things: (1) It critically assesses the ENGP Application with respect to the effort to identify and assess cultural impacts; (2) It describes the cultural practices and worldview of the Gitka’a’ata, which together constitute their [cultural] identity;1 and (3) It analyzes the [cultural] impacts posed to this culture by the (ENGP) and associated tanker traffic. Overall, the report finds that the proposed ENGP project is likely to result in significant adverse individual harms and potentially irreparable cumulative harm to Gitga’at culture.
