On March 3 over 150 people gathered in the Wakas Hall to take part in a cultural celebration and healing feast. This event was funded by the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Trust Culture Grant, with Gary Walkus, Trustee, at the helm of the organizing committee.

Others who helped organize include Lucy Scow, Betty Walkus, Ernie Scow and Buddy Walkus (pictured above), Charlies Willie who MC’ed, Johnny Henderson who organized the feast of traditional foods for both lunch and dinner, and Ollie & Libby Walkus who organ-ized the gifts. Of course, many, many others helped out as well and many thank-yous were offered up through-out the day.

The purpose of the feast was to come together, united as the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Nations, celebrat-ing the fact that we have made it through hardships while keeping our culture and community spirit alive. Charles Willie said “That was the intent of today, was to come together as one, to come together and heal as one... Just let go of whatever you need to let go, and at the end of the day you can say this is who I am, this is who I want to be.”

As the day unfolded, the Gwa’sala and ‘Nakwaxda’xw “treasure boxes” were opened and many songs and dances were performed by community members. Charles Willie said “The intent of the dance program is to show all the different connections, the various fam-ilies, that are part of the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Na-tions.”

treatY related measures Every once in awhile a treaty topic needs more research or discussion. The Treaty Office identifies the need and enters into an agreement or TRM with the federal government. Presently we have two TRM’s – one that looks at governance matters and one that looks at eco-nomic development and land expansion. The activities that we are doing under governance are: • BuildinganddevelopingourownCon-

stitution that reflects our traditionalways

• Lookingatwhatisneededforourgov-ernment, programs and services, andstaffing,afterthetreatyisnegotiated

• Makingaplanforthefutureonhowtostrengthengovernancewithtraditionalwaystoachievecommunitygoals

The activities that we are doing under economic de-velopment TRM are: • Looking at areas that could meet the

communityandeconomicdevelopmentpriorities of the community. This in-cludes identifying additional lands forhousing.

For more information about these TRMs, contact Col-leen Hemphill, Chief Negotiator at [email protected] or Jessie Hemphill at [email protected]. There have been and will be community events that tie in to these two projects, stay tuned!

eriC maGNusoN Visit: a rePortOn March 1 Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Nations got a visit from Eric Magnuson and Bill Guerin from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC, the new name for INAC). Mr. Magnuson (below right) is the Regional Director General (a.k.a. big boss) for Brit-ish Columbia. Mr. Guerin is the Community Develop-ment Director, who deals with many things from status cards to CCP.

The purpose of their visit was to get to know our com-munity face-to-face. They are doing visits to many other communities across BC. During their afternoon here, they met with band office staff, health & family ser-vices staff, Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw School staff, and council (Chief Paddy was at the First Nations Summit meeting in Vancouver).

Staff introduced themselves, explained what they do for work, and asked questions about different AANDC pro-grams. They also shared a lot of ideas for how to help our community. The main messages that we got across were that we need more support for housing, at least a housing assessment and planning process to begin with. The other big thing is that we need a Human Re-sources Worker, to help community members get train-ing and work.

It was a great opportunity to have the ear of someone in AANDC with the ability to make big changes. We gave Mr. Magnuson a gift to take home, a binder full of information about our community including a map of our home lands, a summary of our Comprehensive Community Plan, a copy of the North Island Regional Protocol Agreement, and a copy of the 1994 RCAP re-port about the relocation of the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw.

He said he was not sure what there reply would bebut that it was worth a try. I am pleased to say that he called a few days later bragging that he must be one heck of a sales man because they agreed to help us with our cause. The rotary club gave money enough to buy 8 more pair of gumboots. We got them in all different sizes and the rotary club put their logo on the sides of each boot.

Macandales’ kind donation of gumboots along with the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary’s donation of winter jackets have made our times at the beach so much more en-joyable. Many more students participate in our times outdoors. You would think that we would all stay drier having brand-new gum boots. But all they have done is increase our sense of adventure. Now we try things we would have never tried wearing running shoes. It’spretty ironic that we end up wetter than we’d aver usu-ally get before. We usually end up coming back inside wet, cold and shivering but we always have big smiles on our faces and a great story to tell.

Port HardY rotarY Club(Information from www.porthardyrotary.org)

The Rotary Club of Port Hardy was established in 1981. The Club is very active in all four of the Rotary Avenues of Service: Vocational/Club/Community/International

At present the club has approximately 40 members.

tHaNks From eke me-xiEke Me-Xi would like to thank a couple of organizations in the community who helped to better our program earlier this season. First off, the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary thrift store donated 8 jackets to us for the students who come to school underdressed. We often go down to the beach for longs walks here at Eke Me-Xi and those who are underdressed either do not take part or do not have fun. This class set of jackets really makes our time at the beach more comfortable and enjoyable.

In another effort to better our times on the beach I went around to local businesses to see if any might be inter-ested in donating to our getting a class set of gum boots to go along with our new jackets. We had some inter-est but Dale Dorward from Macandales really came through for us. He donated us two sets of gumboots.

What’s even better than that is he volunteered to take my request to the Rotary Club of which he is a mem-ber. So I typed up a proposal for him to bring to them .


PREPARINGFORCOLDSEASON: It sure is cold out, please parents make sure your chil-dren are dressed warn, there is a lot of sick people out there with coughs and lots of colds. Make sure you are prepared for the kids with cough syrup & children’s Tylenol for when they get sick, and Vicks is good to rub on them espe-cially if they have stuffy nose. Make sure they drink lots of fluids. And please bring them to the hospital if you figure they are getting worse, best not to take any chances with them especially if they are very young.

VISITINGELDERS: Also if you are not do-ing anything please make time to drop in and visit some our Elders they’ll always have some-thing to talk about, or even to see if they need something done like chopping wood for them, or even to cook them a meal, that would really make their day.

Also try and make it up to hospital and visit our members who are up there, I imagine they get pretty lonely up there.( Just some sugges-tions). BIRTHDAYS: I would like to wish so many people a very Special Happy Birthday all who celebrate their birthdays in Feb. and especial-ly on March My families who have birthdays in March Happy Birthday to you all. And to Aunty Sarah who turns 88 on March 12th, I hope she has a wonderful day. Same going out to Uncle Spruce and to Dorey, enjoy your day everyone.

This is my direct line 902-2278. And the fax number is 949-6811 attention Bunny Jackson. Take Care!!

Have a good day to you all.

PatieNt traVel uPdateCongrats to our Parents with New born babies. Especially going out to our nephew Henry and Chelsey for the bundle of joy we have today.

I just want to let you all know that I will be away from work on March 8th,9th, for medica and again on March 19th,20th ,using overtime for those two days. I will be taking my grand-daughter down for eye surgery.

Andrea will be looking after P-Travel while I’m off.(Many Thanks t her for doing this for me while I’m off.) Just a friendly reminder to our members who are living off reserve I can’t help you. I’m still getting calls and texts for help but I can’t help you.

WHEELS FOR WELLNESS: Some of our Community members have gone back to using Wheels for Wellness again. This is their phone number 250-338-0196. If you do decide you are going to use them please let me as soon as pos-sible so I can make travel out for them.

I have been out again looking for people for their travel, as soon as you know you have appt please call me or text me just so I don’t have last minute to do your travel.

PATIENTTRAVELVAN: I have been get-ting a lot of calls and texts regarding Patient Travel Van, if you have any questions regarding the van that was suppose to be used for patient travel you can call Les or Sandra and they can fill you in on the van and what’s happening with it. I can’t give you answers I do not have so therefore you can ask them. Thanks for ask-ing me. But I don’t have answers for you.


We have power in the old hall so a stereo can be plugged in and will have the burnt out lights replaced so that sports can be played even when the sun goes down.

It is taking a little while to get things finished up there. This is not because I am lazy but I have turned the building of this wall into a learning opportunity to the students of Eke Me-Xi. Every Monday afternoon Leah and I take the students up to the hall and I teach them basic building skills and construction terms. It is really proved to be a hit with many of the kids.

They are learning to put their math skills they learn in class to use and use them in practical applications. They are learning tons about tools they have never seen before and experiencing the great feeling of success that comes with seeing something you’ve put your hard work and effort into come together in front of your eyes.

So it is taking a lot longer than it was suppose to take but it is going to be a much richer project that our stu-dents all feel that they are a part of.

QuoNset Hut uPdate

Earlier in the year I began a volunteer initiative to clean up the Quonset hut so that it might be used for hockey and sports. We had some terrific volunteers from in and outside of the community. We got all of the trash and junk cleared out and hauled off and theuseable lumber stacked up to the side of the hall.

The final step in completing the project is underway. I began building a wall which will divide what will be the carving and storage area from what will be a large full length playing area. This wall is going to be 80 ft. long and 8 ft. high and will help to keep the action in the playing area. This way no one will have to rummage through piles of lumber to search for their lost hockey ball.

C o m m u N i t Y HealiNG aNd C e l e b r a t i o N

F e a s t(Continued from Page 1)

Many people made speeches throughout the day about the importance of our culture, telling stories of our an-cestors and home lands, and sharing visions of hope for our future. Gary Walkus said “The love we have among the Gwa’sala and ’Nakwaxda’xw is truly amazing. I sit up here and witness the spirit, not only here at our log, but the spirit out there, the spirit in our kitchen, the love that goes into our food, the food that came from our homelands, our oceans, our forests, our beaches. All the

wonderful medicine, the teachings that I’ve learned.”

Meals included yu’sa, elk, oolichans, crab, salmon, clam fritters, and many other delicacies.

Chief Bill Robertson from Kingcome shared these words: “I’d just like to say thank you... To come breathe the same air, to dance together, dance to the same tune, with our own ancestors with us. I told my son over here to look around, we are one family.”

Gary spoke about the importance of our culture, say-ing “That’s something the government can’t take from us, they can’t take our heritage, our culture, our spirit, the spirit of our language, our singing, our dancing.” He also announced that, through the Trust culture pro-gram, some upcoming projects will include refurbishing the community canoe, fixing up the totem poles by the Tsulquate bridge so they face the water, and organiz-ing trips to the homelands for community members this summer.

In the background of the feast, Aftab Erfan, UBC stu-dent, worked on a mural illustrating the four principles of parenting discussed at community parenting sessions she helped organize earlier this year and last. It was hoped that the mural project would draw some curious community members to ask questions and maybe even paint a bit. Many kids ended up “helping” with the pro-

ject, keep an eye out for updates on this from Aftab.It was a wonderful day, that brought together many community members to share in the healing and cele-bration. As Chief Paddy Walkus said, let’s keep push-ing for a Big House, and maybe the next time we have an event like this it will be in our own gukwdzi! It is always amazing to see our people come together and share the culture and the love.
