Missoula Children’s Theatre puts ondelightful performance of “Rapunzel”

Valley students were granted a very special opportunity last week when Missoula Children’s Theatre visited Bella Coola and put together an amazing perfor-mance of “Rapunzel,” com-plete with puns intended.

Missoula Children’s Theatre is the brainchild of Jim Caron and Don Collins, who met in the early 70s and began the tradition of casting children in the local commu-nities.

The idea for a travel-ing theatre production was born, and since then MCT has grown to include International Tours, Community Theatre, and Summer Day Camps.

The format for their pro-ductions is daunting but somehow they pull it off! Two actor-directors (in this case Shelby Art and Tatjiana Moffitt) are responsible for the entire production from start to finish, auditioning,

prepping and rehearsing with the cast of dozens of students in only four days! The results are astonishing and Bella Coola was no dif-ferent.

Roles ranged from mush-rooms to bears, billy goats to trolls, ogres to wood fairies, goblins to unicorns, ears of corn and the hilarious pota-to, right down to Rapunzel and her (somewhat con-fused) Prince.

It was a lively show full

of jokes, singing, and funny twists. The main roles of Rapunzel and the Prince were played by SAMS stu-dents Faith Fontaine and Aodhan Cearnaigh, and both of these performers did a wonderful job.

The students did an excel-lent job after spending only four days rehearsing, and an especially long day on Saturday at the theatre. The camaraderie was evident backstage as the entire cast

supported one another and helped learn lines, tackle stage fright, and participated in every aspect of the pro-duction.

Two performances were offered to the community on Saturday night at Lobelco Hall and the reviews were excellent. A big thank you to SAMS music teacher Caroline Johnson for play-ing the piano, and the BCE and SAMS PAC and SD 49 for sponsoring this production.

BY MONICA LAMB-YORSKIWilliams lake Tribune

According to an article and video produced by the Vancouver Observer and circulated by the Tsilhqot’in National Government Friday, the Nation said it does not support trophy hunting for grizzlies in their traditional terri-tory.

In a video inter-view, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William said he was surprised by the government’s decision to open up grizzly hunts in the Chilcotin and that they have many concerns surrounding the deci-sion.

“In our culture (the grizzly hunt) just doesn’t make sense. They live on the land with us … so now you open up for a grizzly hunt — that’s a big concern. We don’t feel that the government has really made an informed decision.”

A Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations spokes-person said Monday the Cariboo hunt was re-opened because grizzly population information and trends indicated that

a limited hunt was sustainable. For 2015, grizzly hunting limited entry hunting alloca-tions were increased from three to nine.

“The principles behind the ministry’s decisions are: a sci-entifically informed population estimate; estimates of sustain-able human-caused mortality rates; and deliberately conserva-tive mortality limits, “ Greig Bethel said. “Ministry biologists determine the number of authorizations to be issued based on five-year allowable annual harvest, and success rates.”

However, Bethel noted as a result of the Supreme Court of Canada Decision, Tsilhqot’in Title Lands are not publicly avail-able for hunting, angling or trapping at this time.

“The Tsilhqot’in National Government and Xeni Gwet’in have provided conditional consent for registered guides to carry out hunting on Aboriginal Title Land for the 2015 season,” Bethel said emphasizing the Tsilhqot’in Title Lands are not within the management units that were re-opened for an LEH grizzly bear

hunt in 2014.William said the

Tsilhqot’in consider the grizzly sacred and will only kill a griz-zly for ceremonial or safety purposes, and in that case they will eat the meat.

Bethel said con-sultation with the Tsilhqot’in was con-ducted on all pro-posed 2014 Cariboo Region hunting regu-lations including the grizzly bear hunt.

“First Nations food, social, and ceremonial rights are provided for prior to any issuance of opportunities for either resident hunt-ers or guide outfitters,” Bethel noted, adding for area management zone 5-05, one grizzly hunt authorization was issued and for area 5-06, two autho-rizations were issued, however, no grizzly bears were harvested in either unit.

Grizzly bear hunt-ing in the southwest Chilcotin is being managed conserva-tively, Bethel said.

“If hunting or other grizzly mortality exceeds acceptable mortality limits, the hunt can be reduced or even completely closed.”

A4 Coast Mountain News Thursday, April 23, 2015

This year the Bella Coola Music Festival is so proud to present acclaimed interna-tional performing arts group Black Umolofsi.

Black Umfolosi is a self taught Acappella (Imbube) sing-ing and traditional dance group that was formed in 1982 by the then school age members who wanted to develop themselves and contribute to their community.

Specializing in imbube music, gumboot dance and Zulu dance, Black Umfolosi has toured extensively nation-ally and internation-ally –Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. They have rep-resented Zimbabwe at international events such as Expo 1992 in Seville, Spain and the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada.

They are particu-larly famous for their “gumboot dance.” Gumboot dancing comes from South

Africa workers who worked in the gold mines during the migrant labor sys-

tem and oppressive Apartheid Pass Laws. During this time, workers were separat-

ed from their families and forced to work in harsh conditions.

The gold mines they worked in were completely dark and flooded. The flooding caused skin break-down like ulcers and several diseases. Not only was their work environment harsh, but so was the rules or guidelines. Workers were chained to their workstations with shackles and not allowed to speak to one another while working months at a time. Many workers were killed during this work by acci-dents, while others were beaten and abused.

The flooding became a big prob-lem because so many workers were get-ting ill. The bosses

decided to take the cheaper route in deal-ing with the problem, so instead of draining the water they bought the workers rubber gumboots to prevent skin breakdown.

The workers uni-form consists of hardhats, bandannas, jeans/overalls, and gumboots.

With this uniform, the workers were not able to show their ethnic identity or carry on their tradi-tions with their cloth-ing, so they turned to another form of expression.

The workers began to express themselves by making rhythms and beats with their bodies, gumboots, and chains. They made the noises by slapping their boots, stomping their feet,

and rattling their shackles.

Not only did this express their ethnic identity by using their traditional songs and rhythms, but it helped them communicate in the workplace. The workplace was very dark and they were not able to speak to one another, so this was the only way to communicate with the other workers.

Gumboot dancing started to spread out-side of the gold mines and into the com-munities as a form of entertainment. As the dance became popular, the employ-ers took the dancers and formed troupes to represent their company.

They had the troupes perform to visitors and spread

the good word about their company, but most of the perfor-mances were done in the workers own lan-guage. This allowed the dancers to express how they really felt by mocking their employers to their face and them not even knowing it.

These perfor-mances lead to popu-larizing this style of dance to where it is performed worldwide today. This dance today is used to show the history of South Africa and as any form of dance, this style has been adapt-ed to many new mod-ern forms of dancing.

We are so for-tunate to have this group perform at our very own Bella Coola Music Festival on July 18 & 19, 2015!

A Norwegian his-torian will be visiting the Valley from May 26 – 30 and is interest-ed in connecting with locals of Norwegian ancestry for his new book “Norwegian Outposts.”

Fredrik Larsen Lund, a histo-rian and author from Oslo, works for the Norwegian Archives and is also a former journalist. His book will focus on the small places around the globe where Norwegian migrants have settled through-out history.

On his trip he will be making a special effort to connect with people living in the Bella Coola Valley who are descendants of the Norwegian set-tlers, and those who may have information on the Norwegian his-tory of Bella Coola.

“I am interested in getting in touch with anyone else who may have material relating to the Norwegians, such as diaries, let-

ters, photographs or other information; and who would be willing to assist with my research,” said Lund. Those who are interested in contrib-

uting or sharing the stories can send me an email at [email protected].”

Lund’s book is expected to be pub-

lished in Norway, in Norwegian, in 2017. For more information on the author you can visit his blog www.rei-sefredrik.com (most of it is in Norwegian).

Two Conservation Officers from Williams Lake came down to Bella Coola last week after a large male grizzly killed two young steers in Firvale.

The steers belonged to long-time Bella Coola Valley locals and farmers, Richard and Rose Blewett. Rose said she has seen many a griz-zly in her fields over the thirty plus years they have been there, but this was the first time they had lost any cattle.

“The bear killed both of them over-night, he just tore their faces off,” Rose recounted.

“In all these years, we have never lost any cat-tle to bears.”

The COS set snares for the ani-mal when they arrived the follow-ing morning but what happened next was interest-ing.

“The officers were able to observe the bear and he was defi-

nitely wary of the snares, which was unusual,” said CO Len Butler.

“We’re not sure if he’d been trapped before but he was not going near them.”

Butler said that once the bear returned to the site of the kill the offi-cers were able to dispatch him.

“It was a large male grizzly that woke up hungry,” Butler confirmed. “We’re confident it’s the same bear that killed the steers.”

The Blewetts had been raising the steers as meat cattle for the win-ter. They were the only two they had.

“After the flood we couldn’t cut hay,” Rose explained.

“So we had been raising these two animals for food. However, I’m hopeful we will be compensated for them.”

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
