Our celebration for international women's day on Sunday March 11th was a great success! We were running a bit behind but in true womanly spirit every lady lent a helping hand to make this beautiful day come together in elegant fashion.
We were blessed to have so many gifted woman to loan their many talents to this day. From Tatum McGarvie showing her new skills as a hairdresser, Doris Fox and Merle Williams for their spiritual card readings or getting a manicure from Taleetha Taits nail art, a refreshing facial from Dawn Williams or receiving a well needed lommi lommi massage from June Clearsky and even channeling our crafty side with the Laws, Loretta Williams at her cedar station. Andrea Jacobs-Mayall was our keynote speaker, sharing words of inspiration and female empowerment with our circle of strong, resilient women and girls.
We enjoyed ourselves, shared a meal and some found new friends and others connected with old ones. I’m sure we all can say we enjoyed a day to ourselves. We acknowledged the strong women that came before us and the ones leading the way, but most importantly we acknowledged each other as women. We raise our hands to everyone involved and can't wait to see you next year!

MERLE’S WEEKLY DOSE OF WELLNESS & INSPIRATION
“Natural forces within us are true healers of disease” -Hippocrates (father of Western medicine), circa 460 to circa 370 BC
Feeling well mentally, spiritually and holistically is very
important. Your happiness , creativity and your ability to be active is essential for your well being. Here are some
tips which may help you to enjoy your day.
Dreams come true every day
Seniors Corner:
Grand Chief, Dr. Rose Charlie, An Aboriginal Feminist who sawwhat had to be done and just did it.by Sieglinde Stieda, Vice-president, Mission Seniors Advisory Committee
On January 23td, 2013, Grand Chief, Dr. Rose Charlie OBC, of Sts’Ailes (Chehalis, BC), was
awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her service to the community. Dr.
Charlie’s volupteer work included being on the board of the Friends of the Hatzic Rock, (nowXa:ytem), environmental work regarding the protection of eagles, and twenty-eight years asunpaid president of the British Columbia Indian Homemakers’ Association (BCIHA), the first
provincial Indigenous women’s organization. In this latter capacity, Dr. Charlie had a knack for
hiring brilliant women such as the late Kitty Bell-Sparrow, who was editor of the IHA’s newspaper
The Indian Voice from 1969-1984. Dr. Charlie and Mrs. Bell-Sparrow dared to tackle social
justice issues of racism, sexism, and colonialism in both words and actions.
Cathy Converse considers Rose Charlie as one of the women who shaped BC1. Converse’s
description of all the women in her book Mainstays, certainly applies to Rose Charlie: “They were
flexible, saw what had to be done and just did it, often changing themselves as much as they
changed the province.” 2 The work that Rose Charlie did included everything from teaching
aboriginal women homemaking skills, bringing water and sewer to reserves, to organizing women
locally, provincially and federally.Dr. Charlie was a relentless defender of disenfranchised women and children not just at the
grassroots level but also at provincial, national, and international levels. The Department of Indian
Affairs (DIA) of the day displayed sexist, racist, and paternalistic assumptions when their “training
program dictated that Aboriginal women were only capable of working in fields linked to domestic
labour.”3 Dr. Charlie, along with other brilliant and determined Aboriginal women such as Chief
Mary Pious of Fort George, and “Sandra Nicholas Lovelace a member of the Maliseet Nation
from the Tobique Reserve in New Brunswick”4 and former Conservative External Affairs Minister
Flora MacDonald, worked tirelessly to change Section 12 (1 )(b) of Canada’s Indian Act. The
result was Bill C-31 that, in 1985 returned “Indian status” to Aboriginal women and their children
who had lost this status by marrying white men.
Canada’s Indian Act has only been amended eighteen times since its creation in 1876. Not only
did Rose Charlie use the pages of The Indian Voice to lobby for the restoration of “Indian status”,
but along the way, she enlisted the help of numerous First Nations women by helping to found
two important associations, namely the National Association of Indian Rights for Indian
Women and the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC). The modern mission
statement5of the NWAC, summarizes Rose Charlie’s life in action:
To help empower women by being involved in developingAnd changing legislation which affects them, and by involving themin the development and delivery of programs promôting equalopportunity for Aboriginal women.
In empowering Aboriginal women, Rose Charlie sometimes became a thorn in the side of
Aboriginal male leaders who were unhappy that The Indian Voice “regularly portrayed male

leaders as neglectful and largely indifferent to local concerns."6 There were times when her life was threatened and her loyal husband Peter begged her to stop. Even the men at the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) felt threatened by Dr. Charlie; they cut off the funding for the IHA, a tactic with which both Native and non-Native women are well familiar. Rose Charlie's success as a Native feminist, included being a master of diplomacy when dealing with men. At one point she and Evelyn Paul tried to trick the late Pierre Trudeau into signing the Red Paper7
,
which was a response to the hated White Paper.
Rose Charlie's diplomacy with Aboriginal men extended to being a major fundraiser for the founding of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs in 1969. She organized two 200 mile Moccasin Walks in order to finance the bringing together for the first time ever, all the chiefs of British Columbia. This meeting resulted in the formation of the still active Union of BC Indian Chiefs. Mrs. Charlie was rewarded for these efforts by being named a Grand Chief of British Columbia. She also formed the BC Association of Non-status Indians, now the United Native Nations (UNN). It was an Aboriginal male leader, Ernie Grey, former vice-president of the UNN who first taught me about Rose Charlie's significance; we were all at the meeting of the Friends of the Hatzic Rock at the time. Another male-dominated group that Rose Charlie helped to found, was the National Indian Brotherhood, now the Assembly of First Nations.
Grand Chief Rose Charlie received another major honour from her people when a totem pole carved by three carvers was raised in her honour in Hope. At the top of the totem pole is a canoe with four figures symbolic of the of the fact that Grand Chief Charlie had always worked with peoples from all cultures.
It is most appropriate that the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was pinned on Dr. Rose Charlie by another dynamic woman, The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC, the current Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. This honour was the latest honour bestowed on Dr. Charlie by the non-Native community. Other hc�ours include an honorary Doctor of Law degree from the University of British Columbia in 1989, the Governor General's award in Commemoration of the Persons Case in 1994, the Order of British Columbia in 2003, the Fraser Basin Council's Doreen Wright award in 2003, the National Year of the Child Award from the BC Government, and a Certificate of merit from the Government of Canada. Furthermore, one year Grand Chief, Dr. Rose Charlie was listed among the 100 most influential women in Canada. Few, if any of these awards came with dollars attached to them. Often Rose Charlie's friends and family had to scramble to find travel funds so that she could attend the respective ceremonies that honoured her. Today, this widow of a wood-cutter, and mother of six adult children & numerous grandchildren, and former chief of her band, lives on the Sts'Ailes (Chehalis) reserve east of Mission, in a modest house with a very modest government pension. Those of us who have met Grand Chief, Dr. Rose Charlie, are the richer for having interacted with her.
January 28 2013, Mission, BC: For further information contact Dr. Charlie's daughters Deanna [email protected], fax 1-604-792-2187 & Robina 1-604-796-9281; or Marion Robinson [email protected] or 1-604-826-3074; or Dr. Rose Charlie 1-604-796-3248 or her eldest son [email protected]
NOTE: March 6, 2018: Rose Charlie recently joined her late husband Peter and her ancestors in the spirit world. Her Celebration of Life will be on March 8, 2018 at 1 O a.m. ContF.Jct Brian Charlie for details.

FREE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS & CAREGIVERS WHOSE CHILDREN/YOUTH EXPERIENCE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES
"Becoming a Behavioural Detective: Sensory, Mental Health, Trauma and Resilience"
In this workshop, Kim Barthel (OTR) will share how, as a parent, becoming a “behavioural detective” helps us to better understand what ’s going on behind the scenes for our kids. Many things impact behaviour that aren ’t always front of mind: the sensory system, trauma history (even multi -generational), developmental disabilities, attachment strategies… Understanding these impacts, and how we can be more attuned to our kids who are living with mental health challenges, plays a significant role in how we can help and connect more with our kids. Viewed through the lens that all behaviour is a way of coping, Kim will discuss strategies to adapt the environment, focus on relationship, provide appropriate supports and help foster greater resiliency. The art of becoming a good behavioural detective – working to understand why our kids do what they do - involves not only what you do, but how you do it. Come to this free workshop to learn more.
Date: Saturday April 7, 2018
Time: 12:15pm - 4:15pm; light lunch served
Location: Port Coquitlam, BC (address given with registration; venue has free parking, is wheelchair accessible, and is close to transit)
