WaY to go kiNGcome wolves! We would like to take this time to congratulate the Kingcome Wolves for placing first in Campbell River Golden Wing’s Annual soccer tournament this past weekend. Regular players from our community on the team are: Darryl Coon Sr., Corey Swain, and Randy Walkus. And new player from here was Quinten Coon! I know that in previous tournaments I have seen Nor-man Charlie playing as well.

They placed 1st by beating Alert Bay

Cormorants in the second overtime period. I do believe

that they would have gone into

shootouts if neither team had scored.

Congratulations guys! Awe-

some game! Darryl played in net as he has for many, many years. Way to play Darryl! Way to play Corey, Randy and Tino! You all played very well! Of course congratulations to the rest of the team, we just don’t know them by name! It was great weather to be watching the games too! Nei-ther too hot, nor too much rain! Awesome to watch our other grandsons, Thomas and Darryl Coon Jr. playing for Victoria T-Birds, along with their grandpa Johnny Henderson Sr., and uncles Davis Henderson, Johnny Henderson Jr. and Scott Harris. And, of course, our very own Malong Dawson! Keep it up guys! Since the games were at so many different fields we didn’t get to watch any other teams playing, although we did find out that our great nephew Patrick Walkus played for North Island Selects! Glad you got to play Patrick! Sorry we didn’t get to watch you play in this tournament! These are the ones we know who played, sorry if we missed anyone else! From BoB & Cathy Swain

Public works uPdateThe chlorine reading for this week is 0.65. I have ten different places in our community that I take water samples from which are our public buildings and two residences. I have a schedule set up so my samples are from different locations.I will be getting our gravel roads graded this summer and also get some work done on the shoulders. I will also will be doing more work on the potholes. The trouble with getting the potholes done is that the vehicle traffic starts going faster through our commun-ity. If I don’t fix the potholes, the vehicle traffic slows down but the public complains about their tires and wear and tear on their vehicles.

resideNtial school workshoP auGust 2, 3, & 4th, 2011 alert Bay, BC. Support team from Tsow

editor’s Note: Two letters were brought to me to put in the Yo! News a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to get some answers about the questions asked in those letters before I post them, but to the author, please rest assured that I will publish your letters very soon. Also, just a note that I don’t always have time to proof-read submissions from staff, so if there are errors in staff-written articles please don’t give me any grief :) - Jessie Hemphill

was the result of the formation of the BC Treaty Process, following agreement on 19 Principles to be a foundation on which to negotiate a treaty here in BC. Our chiefs had been pursuing land claims to assert our inherent rights and title on our traditional territories for years.

The history is that when other treaties were done in the rest of the provinces of Canada, BC was not included with the exception of a very few on Vancouver Island and in Northeastern BC. The Federal Government did not recognize our title and ownership to our lands. In the early days they did not even recognize us as citizens who could vote, (another part of our history in this country).

The Nisga’a, in Northwest BC, pursued their title and rights vigorously and finally through a court battle and the famous Calder Case,(1973) Land Claims was organized in Canada allowing for the eventual conclusion of the Nisga’a Final Agreement in 1998. By then the BC Treaty Process had been established (1993) with more

than 40 Nations negotiating for a treaty here in BC.

Establishment of a treaty process in BC was a major struggle even after the Calder case, and it came after there had been major First Nations uprisings across the country, including Oka. Here, at various locations in BC we stood up at road blocks with Chiefs, Elders and Youth to assert our rights and title to our lands.

I got a little side-tracked talking about the three organizations listed above -

the UBCIC, the AFN and the Summit. I wanted to explain how these were formed and for what purpose. My explanation is very brief, I would like to go into more detail in another issue of Yo! News.

Hope you all have a great summer and that the Elders have a fabulous trip and Elders Gathering. The Elders Gatherings have been taking place for 35 years now in different First Nations communities throughout BC. The purpose is to allow for social interaction and interlinking among all the Elders in a way that binds communities and to recognize the Elders for their wisdom as is so needed for future generations.

treatY uPdateA brief look at First Nations or-ganizations in BC and Canada Yo lilkwela-kle! Hope everyone had a good long week-end! In this issue I will explain a little about the First Nations Organizations that we belong to. To name a few: the Kwakiutl District Council; Nanwakolas; Sasamans Society; the First Nations Summit; the Assembly of First Nations (AFN); the Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC); the Native Brotherhood; the First Nations Health Council; the First Nations Education Steering Committee; the Elders Communication Center Society… etc.

To begin, the main reason the organizations were established was to help each member First Nation achieve social, political, cultural and economic goals. To do this, they host large meetings, conferences and other types of gatherings of our people. Spokespeople and coordinators are chosen and representatives are selected to speak on our behalf with our input.

The organizations were formed as a result of the Chiefs wanting to use the ‘strength of numbers’ to achieve positive change for us. Our Chief Paddy was involved with the ‘Constitutional Train’ organized by the UBCIC, that traveled across Canada gathering First Nations people with the goal to get support at a time when the Constitution of Canada was being finalized (1982) without including us. In that way, as well as through First Ministers Meetings held shortly afterward, including representatives of the AFN we achieved section thirty-five of the Constitution Act, 1982, which provides constitutional protection to the aboriginal and treaty rights of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. (Wikipedia)

Another organization, the First Nations Summit,

eke me-XiYear iN reviewThe 2010-11 school year brought about a big change at Eke Me-Xi. Long-time First Nations In-School Support Worker, Stephanie Nelson, packed up and brought her many talents to share with the students and staff up at Eagle View Elementary. She was replaced by University of Victoria graduate and friend

to the Gwa’sala-’ N a k w a x d a ’ x w Nation, Jamaine Campbell.

The new position was Jamaine’s first job as an educator and is a fantastic fit for him. With the terrific support he received from his colleague, Leah Hubbard, PHSS, the School District #85 and the

Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw band staff, Jamaine has been able to hit the ground running.

An important part of many students’ success can be the relationship their teachers have with their parents and caregivers. The several open house lunches the students and staff held proved to be the perfect opportunity to establish and strengthen these relationships.

This year, the school’s annual beginning and end of year camping trips went off without a hitch. They took place at Cluxewe River and Suquash respectively.

On these trips the students were exposed to plenty of fun and exciting experiences. They were taught several things including traditional food gathering techniques, survival skills and the basics of Culturally Modified Trees. But most of all, they played lots of games and had a great time. This year too, the students were able to enjoy and share live music around the campfire. The students increased enthusiasm and willingness to work together while out camping really underscored the importance of these trips.

In October there was a big celebration at Eke Me-Xi to unveil the new school sign. The sign was designed by former student Raymond Walkus. This celebration was attended by several community members as well as School District #85 staff.

It included traditional food, regalia, song and dance, including an Eke Me-Xi feast song gifted to the school by another former student, Walter brown.


Plans began this year to organize the construction of a community smokehouse. Students researched smoke houses, consulted elders and worked collaboratively and creatively towards the initial designs. The project is slated to begin early next year and will provide a tremendous multi-disciplinary learning experience.

Also, the students got a chance to head out into the community and attend several important events. They attended the aboriginal voices seminar at the civic center, Aboriginal day in Ft. Rupert, a Lahal tournament hosted by PHSS and the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Elementary school’s Yayuma (play potlatch) and were able to witness the skinning of a deer during hunting season through the Aboriginal Role Model Program. These are just a few of the many rich and rewarding experiences that were had at Eke Me-Xi this year.

Eke-Me Xi has followed in its ordinary course by providing students with caring and well rounded social and learning environments.
