ABSTRACT
The shíshálh Coast study shows archaeology/cultural resource management (CRM) to be ineffective at protecting Indigenous heritage landscapes, and highlights how heritage destruction principally emanates from the core. In the past, the primary cause of shíshálh heritage destruction and degradation was industrial resource extraction. Today, it is amenity migration and residential development. In the future, rising seas and responses to coastal flooding will consume much of what remains of the physical elements of shíshálh maritime heritage landscape. My goal for this chapter is to better understand how and why things have gone so terribly wrong.
