Co-Developers

The RRN is being co-developed by the Musqueam Indian Band, the Stó:lō Nation/Tribal Council, the U’mista Cultural Society and the Museum of Anthropology. This collaboration ensures the needs of the originating communities as well as museums are taken into account at all stages of the development. Each co-developer has a member on the Steering Group and each of the First Nations has several Community Liaisons. To learn more about each co-developer, click on the corresponding logo above.

Steering Group:

The RRN Steering Group is responsible for providing project oversight to ensure the RRN will meet its stated vision and purpose. This group makes recommendations on items that do affect overall scope, schedule, or budget. Membership in the Steering Group is limited to a few key resources to make decisions both effectively and efficiently and as such is comprised of one member from each co-developer.

Musqueam representative: Leona M. Sparrow
Stó:lō representative: David Schaepe
U’mista representative: Andrea Sanborn
MOA representative: Susan Rowley


Community Liaisons:

Each Community Liaison is tasked to participate in usability testing, support, and to provide feedback to the RRN development team; this enables the Reciprocal Research Network to be built with great participation and input from the co-developer communities.

Musqueam liaisons: June Sparrow and Jody Felix
Stó:lō liaisons: Charlene Point, Wendy Ritchie, Herb Joe Jr. and Darwin Douglas
U’mista liaisons: Lillian Hunt, Lawrence Isaac and David Houghton

Musqueam Indian Band

Background
The Musqueam traditional territory once occupied much of what is now Vancouver and surrounding areas. They are traditional h-un-q-uh-mi-n-uhm speaking people and have descended from the Coast Salish cultural group. The name Musqueam relates back to the River Grass, or m-uh-th-kwi.

Today, the people live on a very small portion of their traditional territory, known as the Musqueam Indian Reserve, located adjacent to the University of British Columbia near the mouth of the Fraser River.
