YUNEŜIT'IN (TŜILHQOT'IN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT)
The Yuneŝit'in government, one of six communities within the Tŝilhqot'in Nation, has teamed up with Associate Professor John Bass of UBC’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA) to develop a housing design prototype with technical and policy innovations related to wildfire-related impacts to be built on the Tsilhqot’in plateau.
