Nuxalk carver commissioned to carve piece for Lhatsassin Memorial Day 150th Commemoration
150 years ago, five chiefs were imprisoned, tried and executed in October 1864 after accepting an invitation to discuss terms of peace to end the Chilcotin War. A sixth chief was hanged the fol-lowing year.
The day that the five Chiefs were hanged in Quesnel, October 26, is honoured as a national memorial day by the Tsilhqot’in people, known as Lhatsassin Memorial day.
This year, on October 23, Premier Clark made a statement in the British Columbia legisla-tive assembly apologizing for the wrongful hanging, and stated the Province's will to exonerate the chiefs to the extent of its ability.
The statement fulfills a prom-
ise outlined in the Sept. 10, 2014, Letter of Understanding between the Tsilhqot'in National Government (TNG) and the Province of British Columbia.
“This marks a significant step toward reconciliation with the Tsilhqot'in Nation, and to a rela-tionship of respect and recogni-tion,” said Premier Clark. “Our government stood with mem-bers from all sides to apologize for wrongful acts, and commit ourselves to redressing them so that we can build a better future together.”
The actions by the Province are understood through a mutual agreement to address the healing that must occur around a diffi-cult history of mistreatment, mis-
representation and lack of rec-ognition of First Nations people within the Tsilhqot'in territory and rest of British Columbia.
“This is an important day for the Tsilhqot'in - the Province of British Columbia has demon-strated leadership by exonerat-ing our six Chiefs and starting the process of healing. We have much more work to do. We call on the Federal Government to rise to this historic opportunity as well, and take the same steps to exonerate these leaders that died for our people and our way of life,” said Chief Joe Alphonse.
“If Canada is ready to acknowledge the wrongs of the past, and build real and respect-ful relationships today, we can
move from pain into opportu-nity, from a dark history into a future we can all be proud of. Together we can transform this province and this country.”
Well-known Nuxalk carver Latham Mack was commissioned to create a piece that reflected these events, which was unveiled in Quesnel at the Lhatsassin Memorial day on October 26. Several members of the Nuxalk Nation attended the event, which was held at the UNBC's North Cariboo Community Campus.
Mack was unable to attend the ceremony due to his new position as a teacher at the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace, but said it was an honour to work on the
piece, which was commissioned by the project coordinator for the Truth and Reconciliation project.
Mack met with the Chiefs in the Williams Lake area to have input on what the piece should look like and he incorporated what the Chiefs requested.
This included a horse, as horses are a big part of the way of life of the Tsilhqot'in people.
“The ones with eyes represent them before they were hung and the ones with their eyes closed represents them after they were hung. The face in the horse's hair represents the one chief that got away but was found later down south and was hung,” said Mack. “What an honour it was to work on this commission.”

Coast Mountain News Thursday, November 6, 2014 A3
By Caitlin thompson
Five candidates met the community head-on last week at the CMNews-sponsored All Candidates Forum held at Lobelco Hall. With a good turnout and excel-lent questions, it was an encourag-ing example of local political engagement in action.
The forum began with an opening statement from each candidate. There are four candidates running in Area C: Alison Sayers, Drew Kovacic (who did not attend the meet-ing), Jan Prins and Mark Nelson. Brian Lande and Samuel Schooner were on hand to represent their bids for Area E. Area D candi-date Richard Hall has been acclaimed and was unable to attend.
The candidates depth of experi-ence and skills were well-rounded and extremely varied. They range from Sayers organic farm-ing and mediation to Nelson's long-standing community involvement and self-employment. Schooner brought his experience on Band Council to the forum, while Lande has served 19 years in local government. Retired and a new-comer to the Valley, Prins has managed a large construc-tion firm and has also completed local environmental work.
There were several identifiable themes presented at the meeting and these included economic development, sup-port for community projects and organi-zations, cooperation and accountability, flooding issues, and
the importance of strengthening rela-tionships with First Nations.
One of the first questions the candi-dates were asked was whether or not they believe the CCRD Board should lead economic develop-ment or be led by community-based organization.
All the candi-dates agreed that the CCRD should take the lead on economic develop-ment, with Lande stating that the CCRD 'should create an atmosphere for economic growth.' Nelson commented that the Economic Development Commission should be restarted to ensure a community voice, while Sayers and Prins both stated that the CCRD should take the lead but work in partner-ship with commu-nity representation. Schooner expressed the desire for the Nuxalk Nation and the CCRD to work together, saying that 'together we can make a really strong economy.'
Recreation was another hot topic, with community members continually insisting that more recreation infrastruc-ture is required to attract new families and satisfy existing community mem-bers, from young-sters to elders.
The aging Centennial Pool, although 'phe-nomenally' man-aged by the Pool Commission, is in obvious need of repair or replace-ment.
“I lived through the year and half we didn't have a pool and heard the com-plaints,” said Lande. “Within the next year I would like to see major movement on
the pool.”Sayers comment-
ed that the pool was a 'major priority' for her, and Prins stated that both the pool and Walker Island required capital investment as they are both heavily uti-lized by the commu-nity. However, find-ing funds is always the issue.
Milicia Epp then asked the candidates how much value they placed in their own desires as opposed to the desires of the community, and how would they handle that?
Schooner replied that community meetings would be a great way to find out what people want, and said he 'likes to be accountable to people.' Sayers agreed, saying that she didn't think any work could be done without community consultation. “We represent the pub-lic and they have to give us direction,” said Prins. Lande countered that with the observation that local government is also bound to oper-ate under provincial legislation, and that can 'sometimes change their deci-sions.'
There was also the inevitable ques-tion related to flood-ing. The candidates were tasked with answering the dif-ficult question of what 'real, concrete, do-able steps' they would bring to address flood-prone homes?
Sayers, whose home was devas-tated twice due to flooding in Firvale, answered that she had spent countless hours looking for options and often came up 'empty-handed.' She did not, however, advocate giving up.

FROM PAGE 3“It's tough but
if there is anything available the CCRD needs to go and get it,” she said, “and the province needs to help.”
“The flood woke up everybody but there are a lot of options to explore,” said Schooner. “I don't think we need more studies I think we need to do some-thing. There are options out there.”
Prins and Lande both cited the need for more provincial responsibility, and Nelson suggested a river maintenance plan which could also stimulate the local economy.
As the issue of electoral restructur-ing is front and cen-
tre, the candidates were also asked who they felt they served first: their local constituents or the region at large?
“Area C will be the first priority, but we are all one com-munity,” said Prins. Schooner countered that, saying that 'regional representa-tion' is more char-acteristic of his view because 'we are sit-ting as a team.'
Sayers, Nelson and Lande all agreed that the local area should come first, with Lande reminding the crowd that there is also the outer coast to consider, as the regional district actually begins as far south as Cape Caution.
The candidates
were also asked how they would strengthen relation-ships with local First Nations, citing the need to work togeth-er as being of utmost importance.
“It's critically important,” said Sayers. “Equal say is what's needed.” Nelson agreed. “Protocols with First Nations are extreme-ly important,” he said. “We have to overcome these trust issues and form solid working relation-ships.”
Schooner echoed these sentiments, stating that the two communities 'have their differences, but we need to start working together now.' He also com-mented that it was
precisely this reason that he is running for this position. “We don't really get paid to do this, people actually take a lot of flak for doing this,” he said. “I'm not doing it for the money, I want us to work together.”
The CCRD also agreed to support
several community projects such as the 'shovel-ready' con-nector trail from 4-Mile to the town-site and safer cycling initiatives. There was discussion around better services and housing for the elderly, the possi-bility of upgrading the townsite sewage
system, the concern of the subdivision of agricultural land, and the suggestion that the CCRD become more involved with the Bella Coola Resource Society and the Community Forest.
Overall, the meet-ing was felt to be informative and ben-
eficial. All residents are encouraged to get out and vote. Voting day is Saturday, November 15 from 8am to 8pm. You can vote at Sir Alexander Mackenzie School in Hagensborg or Bella Coola Elementary in Bella Coola. Please bring two pieces of identification.

Williams Lake & District Credit Union branch manager, Georg Oberprieler, recently presented a cheque to Kevin O’Neill, president of the Lobelco
Community Club. Just prior to this year’s Fall Fair, the Lobelco Club was forced to do an urgent replace-ment of the east side grandstand (see photo in September 25,
CMNews).The total proj-
ect cost $11,300, of which $8,700 was donated. In addi-tion to the Credit Union, which con-tributed $5,000 from
the 2013 Community Investment Fund, in kind support was received from Bettor Enterprises (Oran & Betty Hoppe), Kopas Contracting (David & Heather Kopas),
3-R’s Logging (Dan Fuller), and Mid-Valley Loading (Troy Gurr). The Lobelco Club welcomes any additional donations to assist with covering the cost of the project.
The Snootli Hatchery is recei-eving a massive upgrade.
A $20.4 million investment over five years will modern-ize and refurbish
aging infrastruc-ture at the Snootli Creek Hatchery, which serves the
B.C. Central Coast, and the associated Atnarko Spawning Channel.
The facility has been in opera-tion for more than 35 years and is in need of significant renewal to extend its operational life and enable it to operate more effectively and efficiently.
In addition to improving Snootli’s water supply system, as explained above, the investment will consolidate multiple buildings and infra-structure into a sin-gle complex; refur-bish and replace salmon incubation and juvenile rearing structures; upgrade
and modernize elec-trical and mechani-cal systems; improve energy efficiency; address health and safety issues and improve overall site security and flood protection.
The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, joined by Andrew Saxton, MP for North Vancouver and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, and John Weston, MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky
Country, made the announcement in early October.
In total, the Government of Canada is provid-ing $34.2 million over five years to upgrade and renew salmon hatcheries and spawning chan-nels operated by the federal government under the Salmonid Enhancement Program (SEP).
The Coast Mountain News plans to do a more comprehensive story on the hatch-ery in the coming weeks.

The Nuxalk Nation's Wood Stove Exchange Program encourages residents to exchange their old, inefficient, non-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified wood burning appliances for new EPA-certified wood burning stoves/inserts.
All Bella Coola Valley residents who exchange their old wood-burning appli-ance for one qualified under the program, are eligible to receive a $250 rebate, provid-ing that the old stove be recycled at Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling.
Other qualifying
appliances include gas stoves, fireplaces and inserts, pellet stoves and inserts, and electric inserts only.
Older, less efficient stoves can release between 40 and 80 grams of smoke per hour., while new certi-fied models produce only two to five grams per hour. This means as much as 90 percent reduction in creosote buildup, making the new stoves safer than conventional models.
When used as directed, new modern units burn so efficiently that they require up to one third less wood and produce virtually no smoke!
The Wood Stove Exchange Program has been funded by the Ministry of Environment. The Program is sup-ported by the Nuxalk Community Energy Plan of March 2014.
Is your stove certi-fied? Since 1994, only wood stoves or fire-place inserts that are emissions-certified can be sold in British Columbia. If your stove is certified it has a plate with a CSA B-415 or a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency label. Look for the CSA or EPA plate on the back of the stove.
To qualify you must have an existing wood
burning appliance that does not conform to CSA standards (typi-cally an appliance built and installed before 1994).
Visit Townsite Tru Hardware to purchase a new, cleaner-burning, EPA-certified wood, pellet, electric or gas burning stove (free-standing or fireplace insert).
Upon purchase of your new appliance, you will be given a rebate voucher from the retailer. This vouch-er must be signed by the cashier at the time of sale. Purchases must be made between November 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
After purchasing your new stove, you must deliver your old one to Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Centre where a staff member must sign off on the voucher con-firming that you have recycled your old wood stove.
Submit your com-pleted voucher in per-son by January 16, 2015 to Evangeline Hanuse in the basement of the Band Office. Within four weeks a $250 rebate cheque will be mailed to you. Rebates are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. One rebate per cus-tomer. The value of the
rebate cannot exceed the value of the appli-ance. For more infor-
mation, see Evangeline Hanuse or call 250 799 0033 ext. 2.

A former luxury fish-ing lodge on a remote island off B.C.’s Central Coast has been trans-formed into a cutting-edge research centre, producing some of the province’s most inno-vative science.
From early April until mid-October each year the off-the-grid Hakai Institute field station on Calvert Island houses renowned scientists, university professors, graduate students and post-doctoral students researching all aspects of the B.C. coast, from grizzly bears and sea otters to sand forma-tions, archaeology and microbes.
The breadth of the research was show-cased Friday when
more than 200 scien-tists and First Nations researchers gathered in Sidney for the Hakai Research Exchange.
And, sitting at the back of the room, lis-tening intently to the presentations, were the two people who have
made the field research station a reality.
The Hakai Institute and, now, a new field station on Quadra Island, are funded and run by Eric Peterson and Christina Munck, co-founders of the Tula Foundation.
The concept was born out of a love for the B.C. coast, com-bined with a realiza-tion that — despite a lot of talk about areas such as the Great Bear Rainforest — almost no coastal science was being conducted at the community level, Peterson said.
That science gap convinced the couple to put their money into the project after they sold their successful information technology company.
“I talked to uni-versity scientists and they would say it was so difficult to do work up there because there were no facilities,” Peterson said in an interview. “The Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Ministry of Environment and all the government services were step-ping backwards. The
paradox was that, with all the talk about how wonderful our coast is, at the community level and First Nations level, there was no work on the ground.”
Peterson decided to combine his entre-preneurial skills with Munck’s background in conservation and bot-any to create a venue where up-and-coming scientific talent could be mentored.
The Tula Foundation purchased the fishing lodge in 2009 and then the work of turning it into a field station started in ear-nest
“We had to rebuild the power grid and the water system and the sewage system and the docks and then in 2012 we started doing science in a significant way and since then the enthusiasm has been almost frighten-ing,” Peterson said. “The growth has been greater than I would have expected. I think it indicates there’s such a pent-up demand for long-term ecological research.”
Chris Darimont, Hakai-Raincoast geog-raphy professor at the University of Victoria, has seen the benefits first hand as he con-ducts bear research.
“At a time when support for science has generally eroded across Canada, an absolute explosion of discovery is occurring in one of the least studied, but
most beautiful parts of the planet,” he said.
The foundation funds graduate stu-dents and post-doc-toral students, most of whom are itching to have the opportunity to get out of their labora-tories and into the field, Peterson said.
In addition to becoming a place where “brilliant stu-dents can come and do their work” it is also a place where various parties and agencies can come together and talk about controversial issues, Peterson said. “It’s a special place where politics gets left at the door.”
Research themes are based on answering important questions, excellent science and great opportunities for teaching, Peterson said.
But, even with those criteria, there have been surprises, such as the archaeology pro-gram, he said.
“I had no interest in archaeology, but peo-ple pointed out to me that, where we were on the Central Coast, was a particularly appropri-ate place to do world-class archaeology. That was our first hit record,” he said.
At the Research Exchange, researchers described nine sites around the Discovery Islands where evidence of human activity from about 7,500 years ago is being studied.
“And there is at least 6,000 years of human
history before that time,” said Quentin Mackie, a University of Victoria anthropology professor, describing discoveries of stone tool technology.
PhD student Will Atlas is studying how sockeye salmon are coping with warmer water temperatures and hoping a tagging program will help explain how climate change will affect salm-on populations around the Central Coast.
Sam Harrison, of the University of Victoria's Environmental Law Centre, is venturing into controversial terri-tory as he looks at how diseases at fish farms are reported.
Information released by the federal government is useless as it is not specific — meaning it does not reveal which farms have diseased fish — and it is not accessible, he said.
“Disease publica-tion matters because it enables independent research and informs decisions about farm siting,” he said. Disease reporting falls far short of the information pro-vided in Scotland and Norway, Harrison said.
For Peterson, the variety of research demonstrates that his vision has become a reality. “There’s tre-mendous chemistry,” he said.“It’s magic when (people) work on accomplishing some-thing together.”

Press release
While colder weather and shorter days go hand in hand with winter-time, catching the flu doesn’t have to, according to Vancouver Coastal Health.
“For healthy people, falling sick with the flu means a few days of feeling miserable, but for young children, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, it can lead to hospitalization and ICU admissions,” says VCH Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Martiquet.
“We’re encourag-ing everyone to get a flu shot so you’re not only protecting your-self, but also the high-risk people around you.”
Influenza is highly contagious and can cause serious compli-cations for individu-als with weakened immune systems. Every year across Canada, between 4,000 and 8,000 peo-ple die from compli-cations due to the flu and pneumonia, and 90 per cent of those who die are seniors.
“In Canada, influ-enza causes the most deaths among vaccine-preventable diseases, outpacing all others combined,” says Dr. Martiquet. “You can spread the flu for up to 24 hours before you have any symptoms, so you can pass it on before you even know you’re sick. Getting the flu shot is the best way to prevent catching it or passing it on.”
Flu shots are rec-ommended for every-one. They are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, peo-ple 65 years and older, pregnant women, Aboriginal people, and those with chronic health condi-tions or compromised immune systems. The vaccine is also impor-tant for anyone who lives or works with a person who is at high-er risk of problems from the flu.
To protect patients
in health care facili-ties, all B.C. health authorities require that doctors, staff, students and volun-teers get immunized or wear a mask while at work during the flu season.
To further protect patients, VCH is also asking visitors to our facilities do the same. Masks will be avail-able at nursing sta-tions and/or outpa-tient reception desks. People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpa-tient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot.
The influenza vaccine works by developing antibod-ies within two weeks of getting the shot. These antibodies protect against flu viruses circulating in the community. “Since the flu shot contains inactivated virus, it can’t make you sick. The most likely side effect of the shot is a sore arm,” Dr. Martiquet explains. “FluMist, which is a nasal spray flu vac-cine, contains weak-ened flu virus and its most common side effect is a runny nose.”
Flu vaccinations
are available at special public health flu clin-ics, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and at the VCH Travel Clinic.
Flu clinics throughout the VCH region have already begun; more information can be found on VCH’s Flu Shots & Clinics page.
Information on other flu clinics in the com-munity can be located at ImmunizeBC.ca.
VCH is responsible for the delivery of $3.2
billion in community, hospital and residen-tial care to more than one million people in communities including Richmond,
Vancouver, the North Shore, Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky cor-ridor, Powell River, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Press releaseMinistry of Justice
Nearly seven in 10 Canadians have known a woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse. As part of Crime Prevention Week (Nov. 1-7), the Province wants to help ensure British Columbians know the signs of violence against women and how they can help.
Violence against women happens in all cultures, religions, and ethnic commu-nities, at every age, and in every income group. Violence against women can include:
Physical abuse, such as slapping, choking, and punch-ing or using objects as weapons. Using threats, intimidation, or physical harm to force unwanted sex-ual acts. Emotional and verbal abuse. Examples include threatening to harm family or pets, mak-ing degrading com-ments about a wom-an's body or behav-
iour, and actions that limit freedom and independence.
A woman who is being abused may be apologetic and make excuses for her part-ner's behaviour, or be nervous when her partner is nearby. She may also seem sad, lonely, withdrawn, afraid and use drugs and alcohol to cope.
You can help a woman impacted by violence by: Talking to her about what you see and letting her know you're concerned. Telling her you believe it's not her fault. Encouraging her not to confront her partner if she's plan-ning to leave as her safety must be protected. Offering to provide childcare while she seeks help. Volunteering your home as a safe haven to her, her children, and pets - if your own safety is not at risk.
Help is available at any time to victims of violence in B.C.
If your safety is in danger, please call 911 right away. You
can also call your local police detach-ment or VictimLink BC, a toll-free, confi-dential
telephone service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in more than 110 languages at 1
800 563-0808 (www.victimlinkbc.ca).
If you have reason to believe a child is being abused, neglected, or needs protection, please call the Helpline for Children at 310-1234 (no area code
required). This num-ber will connect you with a child welfare worker at any time.
Government is currently working on a long-term, compre-hensive strategy to move towards a vio-lence-free B.C. and
help ensure women, including Aboriginal and vulnerable women, have the supports they need to help prevent vio-lence, to escape from violent situations, and to recover if they have been victims of
crime.For more safe-
ty information, contact the BC Crime Prevention Association at 604 501-9222, [email protected] or visith-ttp://www.bccpa.org
Petrus rykes, Chairsave the Discovery coast ferry
Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s decisions around Route 40 have accomplished precisely the oppo-site of his stated intentions, exactly as critics in the region have predicted. He spent more than the expected sav-ings to cancel one of BC Ferries’ most utilized sailings and replaced an aging vessel with an older, slower, and much smaller one that has crippled tourism along the Discovery Coast and will still need to be replaced in short order. It calls into question the Minister’s ability to make a rational deci-sion related to his
portfolio.Minister Stone
cherry-picked finan-cial results from the 2012 summer season to justify his decisions, rather than the more rel-evant 2013 results, the 5-year average, or even the 10-year average. The 2012 numbers included large capital cost and debt service write-offs, artificially inflating losses that subsequently were proven to be tempo-rary. This was either a deliberate decep-tion by Minister Stone to make the route appear to be performing terribly, or an act of incompe-tence in not looking at the data clearly.
“In every instance, Minister Stone’s deci-sions have had the exact opposite effect from his stated justi-
fication and intent,” said Leonard Ellis, Vice-Chair of Save the Discovery Coast Ferry.“He could not have made more harmful, destructive, and costly choices if he deliberately tried.”
The amount of traffic on this par-ticular route was also given as a reason for the cuts, with Minister Stone stat-ing Route 40 “carried approximately 500 vehicles” in the 2012 season. This number appears to be made up whole cloth, as BC Ferries records show Route 40 car-ried 2,138 vehicles (or 2,643 automo-bile equivalents), at least four or five times greater than the Minister believes. Even at full capacity, the Nimpkish could carry only a third of the regular traffic
known to travel this route every year, lim-iting travel for both residents and tour-ists.
When the Minister quoted low utiliza-tion rates as further justification, he used rates for the entire Route 40. But the cuts were made to just one portion of the route, the direct sailing between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.
That route’s capacity utilization was exactly in line with the BC Ferries average, and its southbound sailing had the second-high-est utilization rate in the entire fleet.
In replacing the aging (but recently refurbished at great expense) Queen of Chilliwack with the even older, much smaller 16-vehicle
Nimpkish, Minister Stone suggested there would be cost savings of approxi-mately $725,000. Instead, extra sail-ings were required to try to handle a por-tion of the demand, a connection to the Route 10 ferry had to be established at Bella Bella, and mod-ifications were made to the Nimpkish so passengers would at least have access to potable water for the 9 hour voyage. Instead of being a cost savings, the switch likely cost BC Ferries money, and a replacement vessel will still be needed in a few short years.
“Replacing the Queen of Chilliwack with the Nimpkish has actively harmed not only the tour-ism industry, it has made life difficult
for residents,” stated Petrus Rykes, Chair. “We need a solution that actually works for the region, and
a replacement for a Minister who has not demonstrated the ability to make a rational decision.”

Nuxalk Nation takes part in historic paddle to Qatuwas Festival in Bella BellaBy eVanGeline hanUse
On the morning of July 9, 2014, four canoes began their journey from Bella Coola to par-take 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, feast-ing, 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 pot-luck 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 notori-ous 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 opportu-nity for all involved. Cultural traditions and knowledge are being revived as traditionally Nuxalkmc were skilled naviga-tors 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 experi-enced diver, Sandoval is right at home on the water and is hop-ing this journey will keep the momentum going and revive the Nuxalkmc canoe culture
