Community comes together to welcome BC Lions and performersIt was a pretty great weekend

to be in Bella Coola. Five very special and inspiring guests spent three days in the commu-nity relaying a positive message and having fun with the youth.

BC Lions players JR LaRose, Rolly Lumbala, and Will Loftus arrived in Bella Coola on Thursday afternoon and the three CFL stars spent the fol-lowing day delivering work-shops to youth at both SAMS and Acwsalcta Schools. The talks focused around ending violence, reaching your poten-tial, and being the best person you can be. LaRose is passion-

ate about many things and car-ries within him an infectious energy and delivers his story with raw honesty. He credits his successes to his own choices, and takes full responsibility for his own actions.

“It’s up to you, it’s about the choices you make,” LaRose told the students. “I had a dream, I know you do too, and it’s totally possible to make that dream come true.”

Staff and students were thrilled with the visit, com-menting on how relatable and inspiring the three players were. “They spoke about mak-

ing the right choices, not just wanting but also working, hav-ing a dream, and stepping over that line to dare to be great,” said SAMS Principal Jeremy Baillie. “It was an incredible message from JR Larose, Rolly Lumbala and Will Loftus.”

The fun continued with a Cultural Night at Nuxalk Hall featuring the younger Nuxalk Singers and Dancers, and a Fun Ball tournament in memory of Renee Tallio the following after-noon that left everyone laugh-ing and having a great time.

Not only did the teams have to play a very interesting ver-

sion of basketball; they also had to partake in a whole lot of funny antics in between that kept the whole crowd engaged and involved the entire day.

That evening the community gathered at Lobelco Hall for an evening of speeches, music, and a whole lot of laughter.

“I came here thinking I was going to give you guys a message but it turned it was the other way around,” said Lumbala.

“Everyone here has been so welcoming, and to see your cul-ture was amazing and beautiful. It’s been such an experience

to visit Bella Coola and I can’t wait to come back.”

Award-winning Cree country artist Shane Yellowbird was on hand to share his story, a first for the artist, who freely admit-ted that speaking in front of a crowd is terrifying for him.

Having grown up with a debilitating stutter, Yellowbird’s speech therapist encouraged him to sing past it, and that’s what got him into music.

“I can sing in front of thou-sands of people but speaking is very hard for me,” Yellowbird shared with the crowd.

“I was a shy kid, I was bullied because of my speech impediment and I really never thought I would be on stage because of it, but here I am.”

The evening

closed with a special performance by Inez Jasper.

A member of the Sto:lo First Nation, Jasper is an award-winning artist, reg-istered nurse, moti-vational speaker and mother of two. She

has already made a presence in the com-munity in the past few months, coming in as a youth worker and assisting the community in deal-ing with recent loss-es. “We’re not only surviving but we are

thriving, and we’re coming together all across Turtle Island,” Jasper told the crowd. “It’s time for us to stand up and be proud of who we are as First Nations people.”

An event like

this doesn’t happen without the support of a huge number of community agencies and individuals.

There are doz-ens of people to acknowledge, but some who stood out are Melinda Mack,

the Nuxalk Nation Transition House, Vancouver Coastal Health (Carole Clark), Nuxalk Nation Chief and Council, Nuxalk Forestry Limited, the Bella Coola Music Festival, and Nuxalk

Health and Wellness.Thanks again to

everyone who made this possible by supporting our fun-draising initiatives through donations of baked goods and items, the effort was much appreciated.

Arthur Saunders “Kimsquit Man”

August 2, 1936 – January 29, 2015.

Arthur was born to Addie & Joseph Saunders in Bella Coola on August 2, 1936. He lived in Kimsquit until 1949. Arthur told his children that he lived in Kimsquit with his parents, sister, brother and two dogs. Arthur’s father Joe taught him how to fish, hunt, build boats, make medicine, and to be self sufficient while living in Kimsquit.

Arthur and Eliza were married on October 17, 1958, the same day his sister Elaine married Sherman Lauder. Eliza had five children from her first Arthur was born to Addie & Joseph Saunders in Bella Coola on August 2, 1936. He lived in Kimsquit until 1949. Arthur told his children that he lived in Kims-quit with his parents, sister, brother and two dogs. Arthur’s father Joe taught him how to fish, hunt, build boats, make medicine, and to be self sufficient while living in Kimsquit.

Arthur and Eliza were married on October 17, 1958, the same day his sister Elaine married Sherman Lauder. Eliza had five children from her first marriage which Arthur accepted as his own and all the Hall and Saunders children were treated as full sisters and brothers, not half. Arthur and Eliza raised eleven children; seven girls and four boys.

Arthur started his fishing career when he was 15 years old with a boat that his dad built for him. He worked as a fisherman and a faller to sup-port his family. He was one of the rare people in the world who had the talent and the work ethic to be exceptional at anything he tried to do. He was one of the best commercial fishermen on the west coast. When he was a faller he was always in high demand by the forest companies harvesting wood in BC. He was wise enough to know when to leave that very dangerous work and even though he was often called by former employers pleading with him to come back he never did.

Another thing that made Arthur special was that he rarely looked back. If he made a mistake he left it behind and never let it stop him from reaching his goals. And he always had another goal to accomplish. When he needed a new house he built it himself and he did it his way. When he retired from fishing he decided to become a carver. He collected many books on Northwest Coast art, especially any books that had Nuxalk work in them. His nephew Unnie was a great help, gifting many books to Arthur for his extensive library. With the help of the informa-tion in these books, his great natural ability and an incredible work ethic he became an accomplished carver. Within three years he became the first artist from outside of the United States to be awarded the prestigious Native Artist Fellowship from The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York City. In October of that year he traveled to New York and spent three weeks conducting research at museums there as well as in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Arthur was given special access to the collections everywhere he went including

The American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian. He also received an invitation to visit the Canadian Embassy in Washington.Soon after he began carving Arthur built a gallery in his home to house his work. For many years he had visitors from all over the world who loved seeing his masks and enjoyed him and his stories even more. He did not always say yes when someone wanted to buy one of his pieces but when he did he made them very glad. His works have been sent to many countries. He even has an eight foot high totem pole proudly dis-played in the second story of a home in Amsterdam. In 2005 Arthur carved a thirty foot high totem pole for his potlatch. The pole depicts the history of the Saunders family and was the first house pole erected in Bella Coola in more than 100 years. In 2011 he raised a pole dedicated to the memory of his friend Scott Moody. It was placed in front of the Healthy Beginnings building which is appropriate. His greatest motivation for his work was to create traditional Nuxalk art for the younger generation of Nuxalk artist and dancers. He spent time during his last years as a teacher at Acwacalta, sharing his knowledge, stories and carving skill with students. He was especially proud of the art of his son Skip and his grandson Ses, who is already showing an exceptional artistic ability at age 16.

Family was the most important thing in his life. He was very proud of all his children and grandchildren. Their academic accomplishments are extensive and include many Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and will soon include a Doctorate by his granddaughter Alexis. Their profes-sional and personal accomplishments also made him proud. He was very close to many in his family and had a regular list of people he would call on the phone for extended conversations. Among those who will be missing those calls are his sisters Sylvia and Eleanor, his grandson Stephen, his adopted brother Martin Gifford and his fishing buddy Bill Robson.

In 1979 Arthur quit drinking alcohol. It was the beginning of a new life for him and he was very proud of his more than 35 years of sobriety. He was also the president of the Native Brotherhood for many years and fought hard to improve the safety and quality of boats for other fisher-men. He also spent many years as an elected member of Nuxalk Council and worked hard to improve the lives of the people in his community.In 1999 Arthur took on his greatest challenge. That year his doctor told Arthur he had prostate cancer. Arthur was advised by his doctor to have surgery and told him he had less than three years to live if he did not. Arthur decided he would rather seek a traditional Nuxalk treatment and with the knowledge he had been given by his father and the help of his sisters he harvested medicinal plants from his traditional territory and created medicines to fight against the disease. Later he was able to connect with a doctor in Kamloops who used the latest non-surgical meth-ods being developed. He lived more than 12 years longer than the doctor said he would and accomplished more in that time than many will in a life time. He never backed down from a fight or a challenge and in the end we were all winners for having him in our lives for that precious time.

Arthur will be missed tremendously by his wife Eliza, his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, Stupik and Soji. He will be forever missed and forever in our hearts. Until we meet again. . . we know you will rest in sweet peace.

TNG PRESS RELEASE

Following the first declaration of Aboriginal title in Canadian history, the Tsilhqot’in Nation has enacted its first Tsilhqot’in law, setting out the rules for how the Tsilhqot’in Nation will govern these lands and manage access to the area and its resources. 

On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada granted Aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation, in the caretaker area of the Xeni Gwet’in com-munity. Aboriginal

title includes the right to exclusive use and occupation of the land, as well as the right to the economic benefit of the land, and the ability to determine the uses to which the land will be put.

The Xeni Nits’egugheni?an (Nemiah Declaration) was first declared by the Xeni Gwet’in on August 23, 1989, in response to the threat of widespread clear-cut logging.  That threat prompted over two decades of litiga-tion, culminating in a favourable Supreme Court of Canada judgment recogniz-

ing Aboriginal title to approximately 1900 km2 of land in the cen-tral interior of British Columbia. 

“As Tsilhqot’in people, we have our own laws and respon-sibilities to our lands.  It is an honour for us as Tsilhqot’in leadership to enact the Nemiah Declaration as law – a law that comes straight from our people and our elders,” said Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chairman of the Tsilhqot’in National Government and Chief of Tl’etinqox.

“There will be many more laws and policies to come as we strive as a nation to express our values, our culture and our vision for the future on our declared Aboriginal title lands and throughout our

territory.  This has been a long time com-ing.  We firmly believe that recognizing and empowering the laws and values of the First Nations of this prov-ince will lead to better decisions and greater opportunities for everyone.”

Exercising their newly recognized right to proactively man-age these lands, the Tsilhqot’in Nation and Xeni Gwet’in have now enacted the Nemiah Declaration as the law governing the Aboriginal title lands and the broader territory over which the courts declared Aboriginal hunting, trapping and trading rights.

“The Nemiah Declaration was cre-ated by the people of

Xeni in 1989 while we were acting to pro-tect our lands from large scale indus-trial clear-cutting.  The Declaration is the voice of our elders.  It comes directly from our com-munity.  Our traditions, laws and practices have been around for centuries,” said Chief Roger William, Vice-Chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government and Chief of Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government.

“We are proud to say that this is our first law on Title land. Our goal has always been to be able to enact those in today’s world. With this comes challenges, but setting the stage for our governance, for good governance, is one of our first priori-ties.”

Now enacted as law, the Nemiah Declaration outlines specific uses of the land that will not be authorized, along with how future laws, regulations and policies may be developed. Exceptions may be made to the Nemiah Declaration only with the prior informed consent of Xeni Gwet’in and the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

To access the Nemiah Declaration go to: http://www.tsilhqotin.ca/About/Governance.htm and for more information about the Tsilhqot’in Nation and Rights and Title go to: www.tsilhqotin.ca/Lands/RightsTitle.htm

Whether perform-ing to thousands at the Royal Albert Hall or the lucky few who made it inside the packed past capacity speak-easy, C.R. Avery is a unique, raw and dynamic performer.

His genius lies in many genres - blues, hip-hop, spoken word and rock and roll.

He is a one-man band, but one for this generation; with the rare abil-ity to sing poetic verse while beatbox-ing simultaneously while pounding the piano and adding harmonica like a plot twist.

A multi-talented front man for his Legal Tender String Quartet ; a crazed lead singer/harp

player for his rock and roll band The Special Interest Group; a lyrical dynamo and the musical backbone of the spoken word trio Tons of Fun University.

From musical beginnings in his late teens, C.R. Avery has recorded over fifteen albums as well as writing and directing six hip-hop operas, which were mount-ed and performed from New York’s Bowery to L.A.’s South Central. 

He has toured throughout Canada (including almost every major folk fes-tival) the USA and Europe (headlining or opening for Billy Bragg, Buck 65, and Sage Francis) and

garnered the atten-tion of music peers the likes of Tom Waits (“...he’s blow-in’ my mind”); blues harp trail blazer Charlie Musselwhite (“...no one plays har-monica like him… no one…”); and folk legend Utah Phillips (“...raw talent”).

His incredible live performances have been described as Bob Dylan in the body of Iggy Pop; colliding with Little Walter, the Beastie Boys and Allen Ginsberg. 

Every show is all or nothing and his fearless approach to all genres of music both on stage and in the studio proves the longevity of this talented, astonish-ing creator has so much more to come.

“Genre genius” CR Avery

confirmed for 2015

Bella Coola Music Festival

Outlaw hip-hop, beatboxing artist CR Avery will be making his Bella Coola debut this summer

Central Coast Hospital Regional District

A8 Coast Mountain News Thursday, March 26, 2015

BY ANNA KILLEENTerrace STandard

A central theme of the documen-tary Highway of Tears, which made its Terrace premiere last week before touring several other commu-nities along Highway 16, is the importance of community dis-cussion as a way to engage and empower those affected by vio-lence. The importance of talking through violence, talking as a means of drawing attention to an issue, talking so no one ever, ever forgets.

And for the nearly 250 people who attended the screen-ing at the REM Lee Theatre March 17 – community lead-ers, including Skeena Bulkley MP Nathan Cullen, Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc and members of Terrace city council, represen-tatives from all of the nearby First Nations

communities, includ-ing an entire bus from Gitanyow, and family members of some of the local victims – that message was under-scored during the long and emotional question and answer period that took place after the showing. The documentary acting as a catalyst, allowing those in the com-munity to share their stories of loss, grief, and the generational impacts the residen-tial school system has had on First Nations culture – turning the theatre’s auditorium into a modern day town hall on a com-plex, important issue.

Through lingering, intentional shots, stir-ring music, and raw interviews with vic-tims and well-known community leaders, the film seeks to provide broad under-standing, context, and a focussed action plan to remedy the plight of missing and mur-

dered women along the stretch of British Columbia highway between Prince Rupert and Prince George known as the Highway of Tears.

Its director is Matt

Smiley, a Canadian expat living in Los Angeles with family ties to Williams Lake and Montreal, who produced the film with Canadian actress Carly Pope. The documentary and its intended internation-al audience benefits from Smiley’s perch as an outsider – an out-sider who later turns activist.

Smiley’s initial intention, after hear-ing about the disap-pearance of tree-planter Nicole Hoar on a camping trip near Prince George, was to write a fictional script, but “the more I started to research the case, I realized there were all of these other girls,” he said,

speaking before the screening. “And the more I started to talk to the families, I realized there was no way I could do a fictional piece on this subject because there was so much unrest with regards to the story – especially for certain cases where the women have gone missing and haven’t been found, there’s this big sense of void through the entire family and, even in other cases where their loved one is found, it’s something that never goes away.”

In trying to under-stand and explain the historical context and deep-seated social issues of the area, and gaining the trust of

and giving a voice to those affected by the violent acts that have taken place along the highway, Smiley’s role grew from first-time documentary film-maker to someone immersed in the community. He’s taken on the role of an unofficial advo-cate and facilitator of discussion – he said he’s realized, through the Q&A sessions like the one at the Terrace screening, that part of his charge is simply showing people that it’s OK to talk about these issues. Giving people that platform, however difficult, takes away some of the weight of those who have been affect-ed by the unsolved murders and disap-pearances.

“That’s something I definitely don’t take lightly. As much as this is really close to my heart now … my primary objective is just to be a film-maker, and move on and do other stories,” he said. “I was never really expecting to be grabbed so hard.”

The screenings are important, he said, because “the issue deserves a moment of pause” and people leave the theatre with intention.

“It would be much easier to have just done it and let it go – but I think in order to actually spark some dialogue towards

change, you need to have people really pay attention, get moved, not be distracted, get a feeling and then talk about it,” he said. "Seeing how it brings people together for a mutual understanding was really powerful and again something that wasn't really intended or antici-pated."

The term Highway of Tears has been part of the northwest B.C. lexicon for longer than the national and international lens has focused on this part of the world – and the tragedy of missing women, specifically aboriginal women, in Canada. This documentary – with screenings planned across North America and Europe – will only narrow that focus, and with the federal elec-tions coming up this fall, Smiley’s hope is that the issue of miss-ing and murdered women will strike through party lines and become an elec-tion issue. “The action needed is a political one, but the issue of violence and murder should be pretty equal on all levels,” he said. “If I have to talk about it to get some sort of policy to change, then I’m going to do it.”

The film will be back for a screening in Prince Rupert next month.

Highway of Tears documentary sheds light on the murdered and missing

Debbie Moore, Kitselas Education Coordinator, shares her connections to missing women after the Highway of Tears documentary film screening. (Moore recounted stories about Lana Derrick, who

went missing from Terrace.)

Clinton Amasa Hicks IV (1962 - 2015)

Clinton passed away at home in Alamogordo, NM, peacefully on March 4, 2015, after fighting a courageous battle with cancer.Clint was born Feb. 27, 1962, at Lynwood, Calif. In 1965 the family moved to Bella Coola, Canada, and Clint, along with his sister Debbie, became “Canucks.” Two other siblings came along several years later, Tyler (deceased) and Julie.Clint moved back to California when he was seventeen. In 1980, he and his cousins Steven and Scott Shelton joined the U.S. Air Force.Clinton was last stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, where he was honorably discharged.It was there in Alamogordo that Clint met Susan Eddy, who had two children, John and Ryan, from a previous marriage. Clint helped to raise them.After Clint and Susan were married, they welcomed two children of their own, Briana and Chelsea. Although Clint and Susan’s marriage did not last, they remained good friends until the end.

Clint worked at the local sawmill for many years, and then worked in the roofing business for J.D. Klump Construction, from whom he purchased the business. Clint established a well-known roofing company that he was very proud of.It was in 2006 that Clint met his soul-mate Pamela Frazier, and Clint tried to be a good father figure to her two boys, Taylor and Stephen.Sadly Pam passed away Jan. 2014, but during Clint’s last few months he knew he would see his “Sweet Pea” again soon.

Clint’s journey through life was tumultuous at times where he faced incredible demons that got the best of him for years. Clint’s greatest achievement was overcoming these demons and returning to his daughters, family and friends, and becoming himself again.Through these challenges, Clint became the best man he could be by helping anyone in need who crossed his path. His whole family was deeply proud of Clint who was a very sentimental, giving and fun-loving man.

Clint was a great son, father, grandfather and friend. We will all miss him terribly, but know he is in a much better place where he has joined so many of his family and friends who have gone before him.

Clint is survived by his parents Gary and Sandy; sisters Debra (Dave) and Julie (Steve); daughters Briana Hicks and Chelsea Maynez (Alfred Jr.), and grandchil-dren Jenaya and Alfred III.

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
