In 2020, the First Peoples’ Cultural Council published the “Report on the First Peoples’ Cultural Council Indigenous Cultural Heritage Forum – Reflections and Recommendations from the Indigenous Heritage Forum.” The Forum was a gathering of 43 Indigenous cultural heritage experts to discuss the experiences, challenges and future of Indigenous Cultural Heritage (ICH) in British Columbia. A set of 23 recommendations are contained in the report and emphasize that Indigenous cultural heritage must be managed by Indigenous communities.

Recommendation 14:
Formalize initiatives to inventory Indigenous cultural heritage facing imminent threats related to climate change (e.g., heritage at risk of damage or destruction due to flooding, erosion, fires, temperature change), and develop response plans. Conduct research about how Indigenous Peoples coped with significant environmental changes in the past, and how this might help Indigenous communities and their neighbours plan climate change responses today.
