The ecstatic paddlers reach Bella Bella for the Qatuwas Festival

Nuxalk Nation takes part in historic paddle to Qatuwas Festival in Bella Bella BY EVANGELINE HANUSE On the morning of July 9, 2014, four canoes began their journey from Bella Coola to partake in the annual Tribal Canoe Journeys. Hosted this year by the Heiltsuk Nation of Bella Bella, it is estimated that there will be 100 canoes attending the Qatuwas Festival and 5,000 visitors going to Bella Bella for seven days of celebrating, feasting, and dancing. Tribal Journeys, also referred

to as Qatuwas, or ‘People Gathering Together,’ is planning to return to Bella Bella this year, 21 years after its first gathering was held in 1993. The Heiltsuk have played a key role in the resurgence of the ocean going canoe culture along the Pacific North West Coast when they first carved a canoe and paddled from Bella Bella to Vancouver for Expo 86, in 1986 and in 1989 participated in the “Paddle to Seattle”, and at this event invited other tribes to travel to

Bella Bella and hosted the 1993 Qatuwas Festival. Members of the Squamish Nation and their fellow paddlers from Hawaii towed two canoes from Vancouver, BC and were welcomed into Bella Coola by the Nuxalk Nation with a potluck at the Bella Coola Motel Campground. Together, they journeyed for three days with the help of support vessels, arriving in Bella Bella last weekend. Luke Mack, a skipper, who has been on several canoe

journeys, was cautious when speaking of facing the notorious Mesachie Nose, famous for its swirling currents and strong winds. “If the winds pick up we may have to be towed,” said Mack. To many, this canoe journey is seen as a healing opportunity for all involved. Cultural traditions and knowledge are being revived as traditionally Nuxalkmc were skilled navigators on the water, using the ocean as a highway for trade and

attending ceremonies all across the Coast, even traveling as far as the Hawaiian Islands. Hereditary Chief Q’umulha Rhonda Sandoval is excited to partake in the experience of a lifetime with her husband, Will, and daughter Anuxum. A former commercial fisher and experienced diver, Sandoval is right at home on the water and is hoping this journey will keep the momentum going and revive the Nuxalkmc canoe culture SEE THOUSANDS ON PAGE 3

Thousands of paddlers arrived in Bella Bella last week from page 1

“First of all I’d like to thank the Creator, for everything He has given us since the beginning of time,” she expressed. “I’d like to thank Him for the opportunity to do the work on the land that is within our traditional being. It is who we are and who we will always be. I’m looking forward to this journey.” Nuxalkmc paddler Sheldon Tallio was optimistic for the outcome of the Canoe Journey and sees an opportunity for growth. “We need to continue to paddle and get stronger as Nuxalk people,” said Tallio, “We started something and it’s not going to stop, and I believe we will be a host nation and in the near future be able to accommodate that with the support of our Chiefs and elders.” Along with the healing of spirit, mind and body, a great part of the canoe journey is the cultural exchange that takes place. With around 60 communities descending on Heiltsuk territory, many will have a lot in common, including communities that face social hardship.

Charles Kanehailua is from Hawaii and has forged a relationship with the Squamish Nation after going on prior canoe journeys together. He is interested in seeing how similar the cultures are and finding out if they are facing the same challenges as indigenous cultures in Hawaii. “I want to see if they have the same kind of problems as us, with image, alcohol, drugs, and I want to see how they’re handling it,” he said. One of the motivating factors for many to do a canoe journey was the opportunity to impact the younger generation. “The whole reason we’re here is to perpetuate the next generation to take our place,” explained Shane Silva from Hawaii. Hereditary Chief Ian Campbell from the Squamish Nation notes that he started canoe journeys as a youth with the support of his uncle Bob Baker. Today he is pleased to be able to bring his own children with him. Chief Campbell also has a message to today’s youth. “Of the seven billion people

Dignitaries from the Heiltsuk Nation greet the Nuxalk, Squamish and Hawaiian paddlers upon their arrival in Bella Bella on this earth, there are only a million Aboriginal people in Canada. You matter, everything you do counts,” he says. “We have a choice and our choices matter on what it is we are perpetuating; whether it’s hurt, shame, or if we choose to heal

and move beyond blame, shame and judgment. Every one of our Native people across this country face those dilemmas and it takes every one of us as individuals to make a healthy choice and collectively that will make us stronger.” He also encour-

ages youth to start drumming, singing and learning their language, “They have to learn every word they can in our languages and get out on the land,” he said “Climb these mountains, sit up there and meditate and pray, go in those creeks

and bath, purify yourselves. Go back to your old teachings. It will make us better human beings.” As the final canoe paddled out of the wharf on a bright morning, you could hear the paddlers singing the Paddle song. Justin Nelson

noted the use of singing being used “to get people motivated and keep the spirit going.” Indeed, we have witnessed an historic event taking place, and its effects are sure to be felt for years to come. The canoes are set to return from Bella Bella this week.

Local artist receives grant to study historic Nuxalk art By Caitlin Thompson Things are going well for Latham Mack. The young Nuxalk artist, a graduate of the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace and father to a 10-month old son, has been working hard to hone his craft and establish himself in the market. Recently, he was awarded a Museum Research Grants for the Burke Museum and undertook a remarkable trip. Located in Seattle, WA on the University of Washington Campus, the Burke Museum is home to the Bill Holm Center for the Study of Northwest Coast Art and hosts a large collection of Pacific Northwest Coast. The research grant Mack was awarded is intended to give non-University of Washington artists and other researchers access to the historical collections at the Burke and other museums for research on art from the Pacific Northwest region. Researching online ahead of time, Mack was able to identify about 30 – 40 pieces of Nuxalk art that he was interested in studying. His longtime mentor, world-renowned Tahltan/Tlingit carver Dempsey Bob, accompanied him on the trip. The museum’s collection featured Nuxalk art dating back approximately a century, and Mack was thrilled with the opportunity to study such a wide range of artifacts. “The old pieces are some of the best teachers,” he explained. “They are our ancestors and our foundation. The shape, movement, and proportion make it feels as though they are alive.” One of the most interesting phenomena Mack experienced while studying the old art was the transfer of spiritual energy that they still hold, which results in extreme fatigue for the researching art-

ist. “Dempsey had told me that it would wear me out, studying these old pieces,” he explained. “And it was true! That energy they hold is so strong it drains your body, and by the end of the day I was exhausted.” When questioned on the comparison of contemporary Nuxalk art to the old work, Mack said that there simply isn’t one. “The old pieces have life in them and they look real because they lived it on a day to day basis,” he explained. “It’s so strong spiritually, you can’t compare anybody to the old stuff. We can’t get to that level even now with all our advanced tools.” When asked if the old art should be returned, Mack certainly agreed, but he cautioned against bringing it back without the proper facility. “The pieces do have an impact and they should be more accessible to Nuxalk people,” he said. “But they are so delicate they require a specialized facility and the community needs to develop that space first.” Original Nuxalk art, some of it certainly over a century old, is scattered around the world. While much of it is hosted by large museums such as the American Museum of Natrual History in New York and the Field Museum in Chicago, which are said to contain over a dozen totem poles, some of it is also held in private collections. Mack is

familiar with at least one private collector who is making it his mission to recover as much Nuxalk art as possible. Philanthropist Michael Audain has been scouring the globe to purchase Nuxalk art to bring it back to his proposed Audain Art Museum in Whistler. The 75-year-old chairs Polygon Homes, and has been one of British Columbia’s most active art collectors and philanthropists, giving away $40 million through the Audain Foundation, including $10 million to the Vancouver Art Gallery. There is no doubt Nuxalk art, both ancient and con-

and more slated to come. Mack said he was very grateful to the Burke Museum for awarding him the grant and encourages

other artists to apply. All of this is uplifting to Mack as he works to establish himself in his art and breathe new life into an ancient craft. “We

lost quite a bit of that spirituality, but we are bringing it back to life,” he said. “Every time you dance a piece it comes to life a little bit more.”

Walker Island Park ready for summer with renovations complete KEN MCILWAIN PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER, CCRD With the onset of summer weather, local residents and visitors can now take full advantage of a variety of upgraded facilities at Walker Island Park. Over the last two months, Rec Commission volunteer Caroline Granander, CCRD staff and a variety of contractors have been busy completing the last of the repairs as a result of damage sustained in the 2010 flooding. Most notable is the re-skinning of the softball infield with new bentonite material trucked in from the BC interior. Last fall, the CCRD hired Urban Systems from Kamloops BC to complete an assessment of the infield and develop a prescription for the rehabilitation work. Urban Systems was chosen for the work because of their previous experience

visited every year by many Bella Coolians for an annual slowpitch tournament. The Urban Systems Report concluded that there was too much contamination and loss of the existing material and recommended, “that the infield be reconstructed with skinned material to full and consistent 150mm depth”. Luckily, there was enough money available through the

Disaster Financial Assistance Program to assist the CCRD in the purchase of the same infield material that was used in the construction of the softball fields in Kamloops. On July 1, with road restrictions off and contractors lined up, four large B-Train trucks rolled into town with more than 200 cubic yards of infield material ready to dump. Fortunately, local contractor Troy

Gurr was ahead of schedule on the removal of the old infield material and the trucks were able to unload that same evening. The loads were promptly spread and compacted in one inch lifts to specified grades. The improved quality of the new material is evident to everyone who comes by to have a look. Nearing completion of the job, Gurr notes,

“the new material is definitely more user friendly.” However he cautions, “It’s going to take several good rains and some use before the material settles and the lower lifts harden. There are definitely more fines in this material and drainage could be an issue.” Other exciting upgrades to the park include a new surface well installed by Gordon Gibbs and a new concrete

outhouse installed by Leko Precast of Vernon, B.C. In conjunction with the recent addition of the soccer field and BBQ shelter, these improvements make Walker Island a great place to come and take in a fun game of slow-pitch or to enjoy a family outing.

Tourism businesses come together to hold Ferry Fundraiser at Valley Inn By Caitlin Thompson Locals gathered at the Bella Coola Valley Inn last weekend for an evening of food, ferry talk, and fun to show their support for the ongoing efforts to bring back a viable ferry service on Route 40 – also known as the Discovery Coast Passage. The abrupt cancellation of the route last fall came as a devastating blow to tourism businesses, both locally and across the province, as the government ‘replaced’ the long-serving Queen of Chilliwack with the smallest vessel in the fleet – the 16-car Nimpkish. Bella Coola Valley Tourism representative Ernest Hall read from a long list of comments from recent passengers on the trip. While all praised the crew and the scenery, the most used description of the Nimpkish was ‘disappointing.’ As the ferry lacks all but the most basic services and is devoid of any comfortable seating

Beat Steiner and Petrus Rykes of Save the Discovery Coast Ferry Committee with Doug Baker, President of Bella Coola Valley Tourism and rockin' guitar player or decent food, most travelers were very hesitant to recommend it to others. Save the Discovery Coast Committee Chair Petrus Rykes was quick to point out that this is not just a comfort issue,

but a safety one as well. “The Nimpkish is designed for interisland travel, not the longest fjord in the world,” he explained. “There is a real safety concern there and if something happens the results could be

devastating.” Right now, the tourism industry is feeling the brunt of the devastation, and not just in Bella Coola. “The effects are being felt across the province, not just here,” said co-organiz-

er and Tweedsmuir Park Lodge owner, Beat Steiner. “The feeling is that if the government can just cancel a service that serves so many tourism operators here, what’s stopping them from doing similar

things elsewhere?” Steiner, who has been campaigning hard as part of the volunteer-run Save the Discovery Coast Ferry Committee with Chair Petrus Rykes and several others, says he believes continued pressure will result in a reinstated service, but the key is to keep that pressure on. “I have no doubt that the service will be restored,” Steiner told the crowd. “But that is a ways off, and the damages are only starting to be felt now.” While the government continues to hold to the fact that Route 40 was a money-loser and needed to be cut, cracks are beginning to show. Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett has publicly spoken out against her own government in opposition to the cut, publicly stating last year that the route should keep running at least in 2014. It is beyond 2014, however, that the Committee has set its sights. “If the Nimpkish was full

every sailing, it would still only equal a third to what was coming in on the Chilliwack,” said Rykes. “This is a cumulative effect for our communities, and we need to keep working to restore a better service.” The Committee has hired a lobby organization, Broadview Strategy Group, who has been working on their behalf to write press releases, get the word out through social media, and keep attention focused on the issue. The proceeds from last weekend’s dinner and Silent Auction are going directly towards the campaign. “It’s really important that we keep the pressure on, especially through to the next election, because that just might be where it really starts to show,” said Rykes. “We maybe small in number, but we’re all feisty and we are not giving up.” If you are interested in learning more about the issue or donating to the cause, visit www.savethediscoverycoastferry.ca

Heiltsuk and Kitasoo-Xaixais jointly file court challenge to Northern Gateway Press Release Coastal First Nations Following the federal government’s approval of Enbridge Northern Gateway, the Heiltsuk and Kitasoo-Xaixais Nations are vowing to fight in the court, and if necessary, on the land, to protect their coastal territories and way of life. “Our people have been clear since this pipeline was proposed,” said Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett. “We will not allow this to threaten our waters. We stand with our relatives

up and down the coast in rejecting this frightful project.” The two central coast First Nations groups have jointly applied for the right to bring a judicial review of the federal government’s decision. “This issue has catalyzed our peoples,” said KitasooXaixais Tribal Councillor Douglas Neasloss. “Let this be a signal that we intend to fight this project in a spirit of unified strength.” “The Joint Review Panel’s recommendations and the federal govern-

ment’s ultimate decision did not come as a surprise,” said Councillor Neasloss, “but our coastal peoples are disappointed by the blatant disregard shown to us throughout this process.” “We assert that the federal government has failed in its duty to consult honourably with First Nations,” added Chief Slett, “and they have made their decision based on flawed and uninformed recommendations from the Joint Review Panel. This will not stand.” While the chiefs

hope this issue can be resolved amicably in the courts, they vow to uphold their Nations’ categorical rejection of the Northern Gateway proposal, as well as the Coastal First Nations declaration banning oil tankers in the Great Bear Sea. According to Councillor Neasloss, “Our Nations are prepared to fight this until the end. We owe that much to our future generations.” This announcement comes in the midst of Tribal Journeys 2014, a coastal canoe gathering with roots dating

back to an inaugural coming together of canoe families in Bella Bella in 1993. 21 years after the original event, Heiltsuk Nation is host to upward of 60 canoes and 2,500 individual guests representing Nations from across the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, and the South Pacific. “We are honoured to reaffirm our commitment to protecting this coast with all of our Pacific relatives bearing witness,” said Chief Slett. “Our water is our lifeblood, and all the canoe families

who traveled to our shores understand that sentiment.” A rally took place on Monday, July 14

to inform the gathered canoe families from across the Great Bear Sea and the Pacific.

He carved numerous totems, art pieces, tombstones, created unique stained glass windows and jewelry, as well as designing and building two other unique buildings, his own home being nine-sided with Chinese curved roofs, Peruvian windows, 31 stained glass windows from different cultures and an elliptical staircase with First Nations beaten copper shingles. He received several commissions within Canada, from the USA, Africa, Japan, and Germany. Raduger joined the Baha’i Faith in 1967 and pioneered for the Faith to Richmond, Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan, the Kootenays and back to his birth place in Bella Coola. He was a great promoter of the oneness of all humanity. Raudger was a kind and gentle soul who befriended everyone he came in contact with. He was extremely outgoing and his idea of a good time was to go to a cafe and talk with every stranger he met. He will be dearly missed by all his family and friends. There will be a service for Raudger in Bella Coola on Sunday, August 10th at the Rip Rap Campsite (weather permitting). Contact June Vosburgh for more information.

Looking out from the eastern slope of the Potato Range down over Chilko Lake and further to the south into the Nemiah Valley with its stunning mountain backdrop, it is easy appreciate why the first people to call this land home hold it as sacred. It is here that the wild sparse Chilcotin plateau meets the rugged, daunting Coast Mountains, where wild horses roam with grizzlies beneath majestic gnarled Douglas fir trees. Last month’s Supreme Court decision to acknowledge Aboriginal title to Do you have something you need to sell! Why not put it in the Coast Mountain News classiﬁeds We have some great deals for you!

250-799-5699• Bella Coola

this homeland of the Tsilhqot'in people is the result of a protracted struggle over decades waged by the six bands that live, love, and grow old here. The decision is of paramount importance to these people in their ongoing fight against the currents threatening their survival in the settlement project that is Canada. Less appreciated by Canadians is the debt that we all now hold to these first peoples who, in essence, fought this struggle for the protection of land that living beings rely on as lifeblood. In an era when virtually all serious independent scientists concur, and when the CIA, the World Bank, the major insurance companies of the world, and countless other international bodies—none of whom are renowned as green Earth champions—agree that the climate is changing, and dangerously so, it is of incredible fortune for us all that stewardship of the land has been formally put back in the hands of those who know it best. The implication of Aboriginal title to land that has been their sanctuary for time long before the arrival of the Europeans, while perhaps not

absolute, at the very least suggests that genuine consultation must occur prior to development, such as would be the case, for instance, in the building of a pipeline, the digging of a mine, or a proposal to log a given tract, to name but three examples. Presumably, the decision with respect to Tsilhqot’in land can and will be extrapolated to other areas around the province and the country. With land claims having now been a simmering topic for decades, the Supreme Court has finally provided some clarity to the various stakeholders involved in these processes around the country. Given that environmental concerns have been at the forefront of many aboriginal struggles (certainly in the case of the Tsilhqot’in and the conflict over the perversely name Prosperity mine, as well as for the majority of the peoples along the proposed Northern Gateway corridor to the north), and given that climate change is clearly upon us, creating an urgency that is perhaps unparalleled in human history, it is timely that aboriginal title is now being legally recognized. The environ-

ment has become a mainstream issue for many Canadians. Nevertheless, despite the glut of attention and information, we have been remarkably—and disastrously—ineffectual in attempts to actually address the problem. Emissions continue to rise and consumption of resources proceeds unabated. The apparent inability, perhaps better termed unwillingness, to take hard measures creates a precarious situation threatening the ruin of life on the planet, not the least of which is our own species. While the science behind such conclusions has been robust and repeatedly demonstrated, industry has forcefully worked to counteract the evidence, whether through public relations schemes, cooptation of potential opposition, financial incentives, legal initiatives, and so on, almost invariably with the blessing of the various levels of government. Perhaps more insidious, however, has been the maintenance of an overwhelming and seemingly insatiable appetite for consumption on the part of the general population. Without a governor on this demand, it apparently will not stop, despite the very dire consequences.

The title granted the Tsilhqot’in is not a panacea for any of this but it does provide a strong check in the system that wishes to continue inexorably contributing to the problem. Of immediate concern to British Columbians are the strong implications for Enbridge’s attempts to run crude through aboriginal territories in the centre of the province. Other projects on the horizon will similarly need to confront aboriginal title in order to proceed. On a more existential and perhaps inspirational note, the Tsilhqot’in have shown to Canadians and the world that a small group of people with limited resources up against powerful lobbies can nonetheless effect profound change. The Tsilhqot’in tend to their backyard and have now won the legal right to protect it. Others of us would do well to do the same. So the next time you are through the plateau, tip your hat to the Tsilhqot’in cowgirls and cowboys who have done us all a favour. The debt is ours.
