Abstract
The analysis across spatial, temporal and governance scales shows an inequitable distribution of risk across Canada’s Metro Vancouver region. For First Nation communities in this region, this risk is rooted in the colonial history of land dispossession. This article makes a contribution by expanding our understanding of historic creation of riskscapes and a discussion of its implications as a multiscale governance issue that persists across space and time. This article also situates the impacts of projected sea level rise on Indigenous communities in the context of regional, provincial and federal settler-colonial flood risk management regime.
