nuu-chah-nulth salmon governance project coordinator

The Restoring the Five Nations Salmon Laws & Collaboration Protocol Project is a four-year initiative dedicated to documenting, revitalizing, and affirming traditional Nuu-chah-nulth salmon laws and governance practices for the five Nations of Ahousaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Hesquiaht, Mowachaht/Muchalaht, and Ehattesaht/Chinehkint. The project will be implemented in partnership between Ha’oom Fisheries Society and the Balance Co-Lab team. The intention is for the five Nations to lead and own the project at every step. Ha’oom and Balance Co-Lab will support implementation in alignment with each Nation’s vision and direction.

The Project Coordinator will support the coordination and administration of the Empowering Indigenous Governance and Racial Justice through Nuu-chah-nulth Salmon Laws and Consultation Protocol Initiative. This initiative documents traditional Nuu-chah-nulth salmon laws and supports the development of related protocols and policies. The Project Coordinator will primarily provide administrative, logistical, and communications support to ensure the project runs smoothly. They will work closely with Tara Mahoney, Research Manager (primary supervisor), and other project leads as appropriate.
