This #FirstNations horticulturist Indigenizes plant spaces in B.C.
#ShaylaChalifoux sub-consults for landscape architects on incorporating #NativePlants
Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2025
Excerpt: "According to the province of B.C., plant biodiversity in #BritishColumbia is unmatched in Canada, with at least 2,500 native vascular plant species, in addition to thousands of lichens, mosses and fungi.
"Individuals can help support the land by planting native plants in pots on their balconies and gardens, said Chalifoux.
" 'Why would you plant a native plant here? Because host nations have a relationship with that, or this specific plant is a host plant for a larva, a native butterfly, that needs to eat only this plant to survive,' said Chalifoux.
" 'The land is hurting. One way we can help the land is by incorporating native plants.'
"Chalifoux said though things are changing, not many municipalities have policies to ensure a percentage of native plants are included in city landscaping.
"#CBCIndigenous asked the City of #Vancouver if it had any policies around the number of native plants required to be planted in urban planning.
"A City of Vancouver spokesperson said in a statement that the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is working to increase native plants in #UrbanSpaces and considers a number of factors in planning, including maintenance, resilience, and canopy cover, and consults with local #FirstNations.
"A prime example of this is the addition of #PacificYew to the Stanley Park Restoration initiative, upon receiving feedback from local First Nations," said the statement.
"The city said it has also provided native plants for #EcologicalRestoration in Vancouver parks to non-profits and community groups that hold community planting events."

2 Native American-owned corporations cancel contracts with #ICE
Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation chairman calls reservations the 'first attempts at detention centres'
Candace Maracle · CBC News · Posted: Jan 12, 2026
Excerpt: "Last week, a second #NativeAmerican-owned corporation announced it was severing a multi-million dollar contract with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after community pressure.
"A subsidiary of Oneida ESC Group, a corporation owned by the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, cancelled a US $3.8 million contract with ICE for engineering and inspection of federal facilities after the Oneida government became aware of and condemned the contract. The Oneida government also replaced the subsidiary's board of managers.
"#OneidaNation of #Wisconsin’s Chairman Tahassi Hill, in an email to #CBCIndigenous, wrote that every nation should have the power to determine its own vision and values.
'When issues arise that conflict with our laws, policies and core values, we must remain steadfast in acting immediately,' the statement said.
"Last month, #PrairieBand #PotawatomiNation in #Kansas announced it had cancelled a US $29.9 million contract for planning, research and concept designs for secure structures that its corporation had with ICE, and had fired senior members of the corporation's leadership.
" 'We know our Indian reservations were the government’s first attempts at detention centres. We were placed here because we were treated as prisoners of war,' said Prairie Band Tribal Chairman Joseph 'Zeke' Rupnick, in a statement on YouTube.
" 'We must ask ourselves why we would ever participate in something that mirrors the harm and trauma once done to our people.' "
