Mid to Long‐term • Integrate climate adaptation objectives into all local government planning • Monitor climate changes and review priorities as necessary 8.9. Cultural Preservation Protecting the culture of the Xeni Gwet’in people is key to protecting the land and visa versa. Through the wisdom and the knowledge of the elders, the Xeni Gwet’in know‐how to live off and care for the land. This wisdom protects the land. At the same time, the health of the Xeni Gwet’in traditional culture is closely linked to the health of the land, since the Xeni Gwet’in culture is closely tied to their hunting, fishing and collecting. Protecting the Xeni Gwet’in culture therefore involves retaining use and knowledge of the Chilcotin language and customs but it also involves protecting the health of the XGCA ecosystem. Objective #1. Protect the Xeni Gwet’in Culture • Continue to identify and protect cultural assets in the XGCA • Integrate the protection of cultural sites into wild fire protection plan and flood protection plan and access management plan • See biodiversity section for more recommendations Box 9: Community Ideas for Cultural Protection : Community Ideas – Cultural Protection 1. Protect the land and it will protect the people 2. More cultural education of youth by elders and parents at home 3. More speaking to youth in our language by parents and elders at home and at school 4. More living off the land (hunting, fishing and collecting) and learning traditional ways from elders 5.
