Loxiwe, or clam gardens, are an ancient and sophisticated mariculture technique developed by Indigenous Peoples of the Northwest Pacific Coast. By constructing rock walls, these communities significantly increase habitat and productivity for a variety of marine species, including butter clams (Saxidomus gigantea) and littleneck clams (Protothaca staminea). Thus, loxiwe serve as both a sustainable food source for Indigenous communities and essential cultural production sites.

In this project, the Nanwakolas Council will collaborate with Indigenous knowledge holders, experts, community members, scientists, and marine managers to develop recommendations on incorporating Indigenous Knowledge into modern management of living archaeological sites, using loxiwe as an example. The project will be conducted in the core territory of the We Wai Kai and Wei Wai Kum First Nations on Northern Quadra Island, off the coast of British Columbia.

Register for this upcoming webinar to hear from Christine Roberts, Weiwaikum Nation archaeologist, Shane Pollard, We Wai Kai – Cape Mudge First Nation Guardian Manager, and Charlene Everson, Nanwakolas Council Cultural Coordinator.
