First Steps Back to Our Homelands

Dock Installation at Giga’ak

Back in February the idea of putting in docks at

Ba’as and Takush was presented as the first

step in returning to the Homelands. Refurbished

docks were available in Campbell River from DK

Industries and discussions showed that

substantial savings could be obtained if both

docks were done at the same time.

Camping gear, food, and tools for 12 people was

purchased by the Treaty Office with funding

coming from a Treaty Related Measure. This

federal grant money is separate from treaty

funding. It is available only because we are in

the treaty process – and it doesn't need to be

repaid.

It was decided to instalL at Giga’ak first, so that

it would be available for the Canoe Journey.

Treaty Update (continued from front page)

Dock Installation at Giga’ak

Wade Charlie was hired to help prepare for

the installation and lead the crew of

volunteers who were:

Blanche Walkus Clyde Walkus

Carol Walkus Walter George

Thelma George Kelly Anderson

David George Eli Charlie

Moses Walkus Solomon Munn

BLESSING CEREMONY: Gwa’sala Elders and

Chiefs requested a blessing ceremony be held

prior to the dock installation to mark this

important milestone in our return to the

homeland, as well as to heal some of the hurt

from our removal. The Naiad took a mix of

Elders, Chiefs, and youth to Giga’ak on the

2nd.. For some it was their first time back

since being taken away. The ceremony was

very powerful.

Shortly after, our water taxi arrived with the

crew of volunteers eager to help prepare for

the dock installation. It was great that the

youth were able to come and be part of the

ceremony and see and learn about this

extraordinary place. They will be able to tell

future generations living in Giga’ak that

they were there the day the first steps were

taken to return to our homelands.

Our crew of volunteers started the laborious

process of carrying all the food and gear 10

metres up the bank from the landing to the

top of the village site. Areas were cleared,

tents were raised, and with a food

preparation area set up with our new three-

burner cook stove a nourishing dinner was

prepared for 12 hungry campers!

DOCK LOCATION: The next day more of the

village site was cleared and potential dock

locations were studied. Everyone kept an eye

out for the barge with the dock and materials

for a covered cooking/eating building, tent

platforms and outhouses. But the barge

didn’t arrive and we weren’t able to contact

anyone in Tsulquate to find out why. So the

next day a number of crew left for home, but

as they were leaving the barge arrived! The

group was happy to welcome the barge crew

onto the site and at high tide the building

materials were offloaded. Over the next few

days building materials were packed by hand

up the steep slope by our dedicated (and

strong!) crew.

The best location for the dock was where the

old school dock used to be, about 100 metres

from the village. But the area where the dock

ramp would go ashore was found to be too

uneven and heavy equipment was needed to

prepare it. Also, the old trail was in rough

shape and would take a lot of work to make

it useable for an all terrain vehicle.The barge

crew advised that the only suitable location

that could be prepared with the materials

and equipment available was on the

southeast side of Boone Island. The island is

only accessible for about half of the tide so a

causeway to the village will be built.


Our crew got the landing site leveled, ready

for the next high tide when the barge could

get in close enough to lift the heavy 10 foot X

16 ft. landing in place. The landing needs to

be well placed because the ramp is bolted to

it.

While the barge crew offloaded the floats into

the water and placed the anchors, our crew

was back preparing the camp site. The 16 ft.

X 16 ft. cooking/eating building was the

highest priority so we started on that.

The barge crew were very experienced. By

Day 2 they had the landing installed, the

floats anchored and bolted together, and the

ramp bolted to the landing.

Before they left, we asked the barge crew if

they could use their crane to lift the building

materials up onto the village site. In no time

they'd rigged a block onto a cedar and

winched up about 10 loads. Everyone was

happy not carrying these sheets of plywood

up the hill!

The crew left late on the 7th so we could be

home for the canoe journey. The spirit house

crew was still hard at it when we left.

In August when the survey crew is staying at

Giga’ak the landing site for the ramp will be

further stabilized with concrete. We'll put a

roof on the cooking/eating house and shingle

it, build at least two tent platforms, dig and

build an outhouse, and build the causeway to

Boone Island.

The dock for Ba’as was delayed because of

weather and is now scheduled for the end of

July. We hope that everyone has an exciting

time!

Gila’Kasla,

Colleen Hemphill

YO WIKSAS

I hope everyone has been enjoying the weather and

the company of the Canoe Journey folks.

What a great pleasure it was to have visitors in our

community.

5th in the evening sometime. We only have room

for 30 elders on this trip.

We have room for 13 more to sign up. I need those

wish to come you also need to help with the next

catering jobs coming up.

Catering jobs are:

July 17 & 18 starting at 10am both days

July 24 & 25 starting at 10am both days

If you can not get up to the Elder's Center on these

days, then you MUST send another helper on your

behalf. Be sure they state who they are volunteering

for.

I would like to thank all my helpers that helped all

through the night on Tuesday cooking for the Canoe

hosting up in Takush. It is unfortunate they didn't

end up going there. We were here from 10pm-8am

cooking to make sure there was food to be sent up

on the boat the next morning. The weather was

against us all. Kristen Walkus, Adam, Granny Mary

Johnson, Dodie, Eileen, Mable & Richard. If it

wasn't for all of you, I don't know what we would

have done. Thank you very much from the Elders.

Please remember to come and lend your helping and

with the cater jobs next week!

Elder's fun Days have been continuing and going

very well. We will be going on a fishing trip very

soon! So make sure you start attending in order to

be able to come along, ok? :)

Lastly, we send our sincere condolences to granny

Lil and family on the loss of Al. Love and prayers

for you all ♡

Have a great weekend everyone

Good Food Bag Recipes

---------Reminder----------

Good Food Bags are scheduled for every other

Friday (see schedule) and they are to be picked

up at the Elders Building between 1:00 and

3:00pm.

The office closes at 4:00pm and there is no

storage for the food therefore it can’t be saved

over the weekend as it will go bad if not picked

up on the Friday.

Please check periodically to see if you are on the

Good Food Bag List to make sure you are still on

it and/or that you don’t accidently miss that you

are on the list (List is located at the Band Office).

If you would like a reminder please text your

name and number to 250-949-0144 or leave your

number at the front at the Band Office.

Thanks for everyone’s cooperation – Let’s keep

this program going strong!

---------Reminder----------

Hello everyone,

Yes, it is that time again; the Good Food Bag has

arrived!

This week we’ll focus on using up those

vegetables that may be lingering in the fridge

and healthy choices for salad dressings.

One of the best ways I’ve been able to create a

dinner that is quick and packed full of nutritious

ingredients is to make a stir-fry. Stir-fries’ are

amazing because you can make it with whatever

vegetables you want (or have) and it will

typically come out tasting pretty great.

Hope you enjoy! Remember I am always open for

feedback and would love to hear from you

Michelle,

Food Security & Nutrition Coordinator

Main Dish: Beef Stir-fry

A stir-fry for dinner can be beneficial in many

ways; it’s a quick meal, healthy in that it is made

from whole foods and fun to make

The benefit we get from whole foods is the whole

part of the food, it hasn’t been broken down

(refined) into something less or separate parts, it

contains all it’s nutrients.

Pair it with brown rice (or quinoa) instead of

white rice (which is refined).

Ingredients for the stir-fry:

1 yam, chopped very small

1 green pepper, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

6-8 mushrooms, chopped

1 cup bean sprouts

Add any other vegetable (broccoli, peas,

corn, carrots, zucchini, onions etc).

1 tbsp olive oil (substitute: 1 tbsp grape

seed oil or coconut oil)

Beef, cooked and thinly sliced.

1-2 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 inch piece of fresh ginger chopped finely

or grated.

mailto:[email protected]


1 cup brown rice (Cook with 2 cups water)

Ingredients for the stir-fry sauce:

3/4 cup orange juice

1 Tbsp Cornstarch

2 Tbsp low salt soya sauce (or Hoisin

sauce)

1 Tbsp Oyster sauce

1 Tbsp Rice vinegar

2 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp Finely grated orange zest (use the

fine side of the cheese grater to get the

zest/skin from the orange into fine pieces).

To prepare:

1. Cut the beef into small strips and cook.

2. Put the rice on to cook.

3. Mix all ingredients for the sauce together

in a bowl and set aside.

4. Cut the vegetables into bite size pieces.

Leave the bean sprouts out until the stir-

fry is almost done cooking. Cut the yams

smaller or else they won’t cook through.

5. Add olive oil, garlic, ginger and vegetables

to pan and cook on medium until

vegetables are almost done.

6. Add sauce and bean sprouts to the

vegetables. Stir frequently until

vegetables are cooked.

7. Serve over rice.

Side Dish: Citrus Beet Salad

The nice thing about a salad is that is usually

complements any dish. You can make this a full

meal by topping the salad with meat like chicken

or fish.

There are many benefits to making your own

salad dressing such as it contains much less

preservatives, no artificial flavors and oils that

are healthier choices. This helps you to increase

the nutritional benefits of the foods you eat.

Try making the homemade salad dressing and

see how simple ingredients can make amazing

flavors.

Ingredients for the salad:

1-2 medium size beets cooked and

sliced.

½ red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

Lettuce

Crumbled cheese (goat, feta, parmesan)

1-2 oranges peeled and broken apart.

Ingredients for the dressing:

2 tbsp orange juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp brown sugar or 1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

To prepare:

1. Wash beets and cook until soft, let cool

and cut into bite size pieces

2. Mix the ingredients for the salad dressing

into a small bowl, set aside.

3. Place lettuce in a large bowl and top with

onions, oranges, seeds and cheese.

4. Drizzle with citrus vinaigrette dressing.


Healthy Snack: Celery Bites

Lets create a healthy snack that’s good on the

run, can be packed for picnics or to have at home.

Celery is a good snack when filled with healthy

options such as peanut butter, nut butters or

hummus, which adds protein to the meal. Kids

love it because it’s like a mini boat with a crunch!

Ingredients:

Celery, cut into long pieces

Peanut butter, nut butter or hummus

Raisins, currants, blueberries or

cranberries (optional).

To prepare:

1. Wash celery and cut into long pieces.

2. Spread peanut butter, nut butter or

hummus into the center.

3. Sprinkle raisins, currants or dried berries

on top.

4. Bite into the crunchy snack and enjoy!

Wild Flower Tea

I wanted to share something that I enjoy both

when I am at home and out on the west coast

camping. Sipping on a wild flower tea seems to

make the world of difference with how I feel,

picking me up when I am sick, soothing when a

need to relax or providing energy when I am

down. No matter how I feel, I can’t help but

smile when I take my first sip of the tea.

~Things to remember~

1. Always know your plants! Picking the

wrong plant that is not edible is never

worth it. Some plants are poisonous and

can make you very sick or worse could

cause death. If anyone is interested I am

willing to teach people

[email protected]

2. Choose your locations to pick the plants.

Pick in areas free of pollutants and off

areas where people walk their dogs to

avoid dog pee.

3. Pick only what you need. Make sure to

not pick everything in sight, leave some

for other people and the animals that

depend on the plants.



4. Collecting and storing so the plants won’t

go bad before you get home. Collect

plants that are dry, not wet from the

morning dew or rain. Collect in a

breathable bag or basket so if it’s hot out

they won’t wilt as fast. If you would like

to save the flowers for later, hang to dry

in a cool dark spot or use right away.

~Examples of Plants that are great in

a tea~

Each plant has different nutritional and

medicinal properties, try combinations that

complement each other medicinally and/or make

up your own flavor. There are lots of plants that

can make a beneficial tea but here are a few to

get you started.

Berries (salmonberry, huckleberry,

blackberry, currants, thimbleberry,

blueberry etc).

Red Clover (flower and leaves)

Wild Rose (flowers, leaves, hips)

Yarrow (flowers and leaves)

Labrador Tea (leaves)

Wild Mint (flowers and leaves)

Licorice Fern (root)

Fireweed (flowers and leaves)

~How do I make a Wild Flower Tea~

It’s easy and rewarding! Collect the plants, place

in water, heat to a simmer (never boil), let steep

for 10-20 minutes. Poor in your favorite cup and

savor the experience.

If anyone has a favorite wild flower tea or other

knowledge they would like to share with me,

please send me an email, call, or come find me at

the Band Office/Community Garden.

--Have fun! Michelle
