Copper Sun Gallery Hosts “First-Ever” Nuxalk Artists ExhibitionBY ERNEST HALL

Ten Nuxalk artists and crafters along with an appreciative crowd of locals and visitors came together August 19 on the lawn outside Copper Sun Gallery for a “first-ever” Nuxalk Artists’ Exhibition.

Copper Sun Journeys and Gallery opened in the former RCMP sta-tion in June as the first-ever gallery operated by the Nuxalk community under the auspices of the Nuxalk Development Corporation (NDC).

And according to carv-er and jewelry engraver Alvin Mack, the August

19 exhibition is the first time ever that a group of Nuxalk artists and craft-ers have brought their creations and creativ-ity together in a public showing.

“This has never hap-pened before,” he said, noting that “artists spend a lot of time alone.” The outdoor venue, on the lawn under tents was “great” he said. “I’m out here meeting with other artists. If I wasn’t here, I’d be in my carving shed.”

Mack and nine oth-ers, carvers Lyle Mack, Reuben Mack, Sesyaz Saunders, and Clyde

Young, along with paint-er Sheldon Tallio, silver engraver Troy Anderson, and cedar weavers Heather Elliott, Tabitha Schooner, and Bonnie Siwallace, sat at tables displaying their work, giving demonstrations, and telling stories.

Partway through the afternoon, the gather-ing was entertained by Nuxalk singers Lance and Chris Nelson, Sheldon Tallio, and Heather Elliott.

The afternoon was topped off by a salmon dinner available from the St’ala (Inner Bark) Food Truck, now in its second

summer of operation by Nola Mack.

Chris Nelson, Nuxalk culturist and Special Projects Coordinator for NDC, was pleased with the event and would like to see more such events in the future – events involving more perform-ing both by Nuxalk per-formers and by others in the Valley community.

Randy Hart, CEO of NDC, says he was “really thrilled” with the event and with the way the Copper Sun venture has materialized this sum-mer. Responses from the artists involved in the Exhibition were “very

positive,” Hart says, and plans are under way for the future of Copper Sun.

He views the past season as a “training and learning year,” not-ing that Copper Sun and Bella Coola Valley Tourism (BCVT), whose Visitor Information Booth shared the former RCMP station with the Gallery, each employed a Nuxalk student, and Copper Sun Journeys trained a new guide, Clyde Young – all gaining valuable work experi-ence while providing an opportunity for the man-agement team to gain experience with a new

venture.“It was a wonderful

afternoon,” said Gallery Supervisor Caitlin Thompson.

“It’s really exciting to get Nuxalk artists togeth-er so that people have a chance to see how this art is created and hear the stories that accom-pany it.”

Now that the two sum-mer students, Danika Nolie and Carrigan Tallio, have departed for their studies, hours at Copper Sun will be reduced to Tuesday through Saturday and by appoint-ment. SEE 'GALLERY' ON PAGE 3

Joyce Gildersleve March 2, 1931 to June 19, 2015

Joyce Gildersleve (Casperson) was born in Bella Coola, British Columbia on March 2, 1931 to Elise and Jorgen Casperson. She was the oldest child of four and was followed by her brother Floyd and sisters Janet and Dale.

Joyce completed high school in Bella Coola and then left to move to Vancouver to attend Normal School, with plans to return home and teach school as soon as she had received her degree. Before she left Bella Coola she met Frank Gildersleve and, as a result, she ended up staying in Vancouver a short time before returning to marry him in 1949.

Soon after they married they started a family and over the following seven years Joyce gave birth to Barry, Jill, Debbie, Karen, and Megan. When not providing amazing care for her family, Joyce was unusually active in the community, always visiting others in need and volunteering for agencies such as the Canadian Red Cross. When her children were grown she continued to decorate beautiful cakes for weddings and other special occasions. In addition she owned her own specialty gift shop, where she sold beautiful Aboriginal jewellry and delightful fishing related t-shirts – she also picked and sold pine mushrooms, and operated a successful Bed and Breakfast. Later on she worked for several local businesses / business owners including Barb and Roy Schubert, Shop Easy Hagensborg Mercantile, and Douglas Pelton, Attorney.

Over the years Joyce lovingly and graciously embraced each new arrival into the family including grandchildren Casey, Luke, Nathan, Michael, Corbett, Amy, Clark, Jolene, Matthew, Nicholas, Jessica, and Carl. As time passed, they were joined by great grandchildren Danica, Dominic, Paige, Quinn, Cayden, Bryce, Rowan, and Allie.

In retirement Joyce continued to enjoy long walks in the woods, visits with her multitude of fabulous friends including Joyce, Verna, and Carol, baseball and basketball games on TV, and gardening. During her last few years in Bella Coola she received much support from valley residents and often mentioned the loving attention and care provided by her amazing niece Denise, and friends Cindy and Priscilla, in particular. About five years ago she moved to a beautiful care home in Surrey to be close to her children while receiving the extended medical services she required.

Those who knew her will remember her ready smile and laugh, her zany sense of humour, her many, many talents including hosting superb dinner parties that included delicious and inspired fruit and berry concoctions (that may have been brewed in her little cupboard under the stairs), her love of music and dancing, trips to the Bella Coola Wharf (where she would often go in the evening in hopes of being “taken” by an alien spaceship), and other wonderful traits too great to mention. In addition to being extraordinarily supportive and fiercely loyal, she was just the best Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt a person could ever want. Although we know that she will always be close in some form, we will miss her madly.


Once again, September 1 marks the reopening of the BC Parks Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform. Located adjacent to the Belarko Boat Launch, the Platform is open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm and is sur-rounded by an electric fence supported by a cedar-railed fence. Members of the Nuxalk Nation will again par-ticipate in staffing the Platform, which will provide visitors with additional opportuni-ties to learn about the cultural significance of this area to the Nuxalkmc people.

This year, visi-

tors will notice sev-eral infrastructural improvements, includ-ing additional fencing, a reconfigured, more accessible walkway and new shelters, both at the reception area and on the Platform.

Now in its fifth season, the goal of the Platform is to increase safety for both the recreating public and the bears during this critical fall salmon run season. It’s a popular place - last year there were 550 bear sightings (lots of repeat bears) and 2,600 visits.

BC Parks back-grounder states that, “The Atnarko/

Highway 20 corridor of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is an area of excel-lent bear habitat and healthy populations of both grizzly and black bears. Along with the privilege of viewing bears in their natural habitat comes the responsibility to ensure that we do not endan-ger bears, ourselves or other visitors and resi-dents of the park.

The main objective of the Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform is to increase the pre-dictability of human behaviour along this section of the Atnarko River. This will both reduce the risk of

potential injury to park visitors from bear encounters and leave sections along the river where bears can feed undisturbed by humans.

The platform pro-vides excellent visibility of the Atnarko River while ensuring safe separation distance between park visitors and foraging bears. Visitors who wish to view bears and who choose not to make use of commercial guides are therefore encour-aged to use the Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform rather than other areas along the river corridor.”

Plans for Copper Sun now include developing a web-based marketing strategy for Nuxalk art.

Hart hopes Copper Sun will be able to retain the space after the cur-rent lease concludes Oct. 31 so that the Gallery can open by appointment throughout the win-ter. Eventually, he says, Copper Sun might be housed in a new venue being planned by the Nuxalk Nation.

He says Copper Sun’s 2015 season “exceeded expec-tations,” and he’s especially pleased with the collabora-tion between Copper Sun Journeys and the large Valley tour-

ist accommodators who booked their Petroglyph Tours through Copper Sun.

Commenting on the summer col-laboration between Copper Sun and

Bella Coola Valley Tourism, BCVT President Doug Baker says the arrangement “cer-tainly met our expec-tations.” He hopes a similar arrangement

will be possible in the 2016 tourist sea-son.

The central loca-tion on the Townsite was a “good change” from the previous Hagensborg venue,

and being able to share responsibili-ties with the Copper Sun staff enabled the Visitor Information Booth to be open 10 hours nearly every day this summer.

Dear Editor,

Thank you to the Copper Sun Gallery for showing Nuxalk

artists and their work and songs and stories.

I really appreci-ated all of it. I just

hope you will be open the middle of September when my relatives are visit-ing. I know they

would love to see and possibly buy some of your work.

It is efforts like what you folks did

on September 19th that make me proud of the Valley and its people. The Bella Coola Fall Fair, the

Farmer’s Market, the Bella Coola Music Festival and Rodeo also contribute to the building of the

valley.

Thank you,Doreen

BY CAITLIN THOMPSON

“Ista” is the name of the first Nuxalk woman, as well as the place and Smayusta (creation story) that relate her to Tatau, the Creator, as well as the land and people who descend from her. It is said she descended on the eye-lashes of the sun, and wrapped in a blanket covered in abalone, danced from moun-taintop to mountaintop.

During the summer of 1995, Interfor was actively logging on the territory known as Ista (King Island). A group of Nuxalk hereditary chiefs, elders and community members joined with Forest Action Network to declare their opposition to Interfor’s plans. What was intended to be an overnight stay turned into a 21-day journey.

While much has been made of the community divi-sions created by the stand at Ista, some of those who were there, including Taylor King (Licimutu7sayc), Cecil Moody (Nuqwlqwliyu), Chief Snuxyaltwa (Deric Snow) and Robert Andy said that the real gift of Ista was the strength the experi-ence delivered to the Nuxalk people.

“I went out as a member of band

council and came back a hereditary chief,” said Deric Snow, also known as Yulum. “ We found ourselves spiritu-ally.”

The four men shared that their experiences at Ista evolved from their initial roles in protecting the land and became a defining moment in their cul-tural identification as Nuxalk people.

Elder matriarchs Amanda Siwallace (Numanta) and Lucy Mack were among some of thee Nuxalk ‘superwomen’ camped on Nuxalknalus (King Island) for many weeks to help protect Ista from being clearcut logged by Interfor. “The elders taught me so many lessons,” Andy shared. “In particular they said, “Never get mad, no matter what hap-pens, don’t lose your self-control.” Amanda shared so many stories with me. I learned to sing at Ista.”

“I found myself there [at Ista] and I realized

I was trying to be a white man, and I never could,” said Moody. “The experience out there changed me for-ever, I came back a dif-ferent person - closer to the land and tied to the Nuxalk culture.”

Snow recognizes the importance of the event on Nuxalk sovereignty and the assertion of indigenous law, which continues to dominate discussions today. “It goes back to the Royal Proclamation,” explained Snow. “It’s still a legal document today.”

In the Royal Proclamation of 1763, ownership over North America is issued to King George. However, the Royal Proclamation explicitly states that Aboriginal title has existed and continues to exist, and that all land would be consid-ered Aboriginal land until ceded by treaty.

The majority of BC First Nations have never signed a treaty, the Nuxalk included, although several are actively engaged in the process.

Hereditary chiefs from the House of Smayusta, along with supporting community members and environ-mental activists were arrested in 1995, some of them spending up to 10 days in jail with no charges. Two years later, Ista was eventu-

ally logged. However, the result of the actions were felt for genera-tions, and proved to be a catalyst for the Nation on asserting their sov-ereignty.

“Our songs, stories and dances remind us of these duties,” wrote Chief Slicxwliqw' (Charles Nelson), from his Vancouver cell. “Just as the RCMP and the judges enforce their law, we must enforce our laws. We must pro-tect our land because it provides our medicines, foods, our deer and fish.”

Peter Snow agrees. In charge of carving the Ista pole, he’s been putting long and steady hours of backbreaking work. “Only focusing on only stopping the logging misses the point, because I don’t think that will ever cease completely” he explains.

“We’ve endured smallpox and resi-dential school, there were only 127 Nuxalk people left at one point. Watching the chiefs and elders stand up for their traditional rights at Ista gave us the strength to do the same.

“I’m doing this because of my Auntie, she was there, she told me at the time it was time to move forward with our culture. This is another way for us to do that.”

The pole, which is

intended to represent the smayusta (creation story) of Ista and reaf-firm the obligation and territorial claim to the land by the Nuxalkmc people, is set to be raised at Ista on Sepember 28.

There will be a feast at the Nuxalk Hall on September 27 that will include a slideshow and the chance to view the pole. All are wel-come. “I would like to invite everyone to bring their positive energy to

the feast on September 27,” said Yulum. “The totem pole will be viewed and we are going to be bringing our spirit back to our sacred land where the Nuxalk first women landed on mother earth.”

BY ERNEST HALLA respectful and

admiring group of fam-ily and friends gathered at Mountain View Lodge recently to bid farewell to two Bella Coola Valley commu-nity stalwarts, Ed and Margaret Nash.

After building their home here, raising a family, and serving the community for nearly five decades, Ed (92) and Margaret (87) have left the Valley for Kamloops where they will be closer to family.

The Nashes arrived with their four chil-dren in Bella Coola in 1968 when Ed took a teaching position at Sir Alexander Mackenzie School (SAMS) where his focus was on teach-ing math and science. Milica Epp, organizer of the Farewell Tea and a former teacher herself, told the gather-ing that many of Ed’s former students might remember him as “Mr. Nash”, but he also

earned the nickname “Steady Eddy” because “the students always knew what he wanted, and so they came to appreciate him as a teacher.”

Former student, Diane Stiles, on vaca-tion in Bella Coola, discretely refrained from telling student jokes about her former teacher, saying only that Ed Nash was a “great teacher” and it was because of his teaching that she “sailed through math and science” at SAMS.

Former SAMS col-league and personal friend Peter Fralick said Ed was a teacher who always wore a jacket and tie, “and he always put the interests of the kids ahead of anything else.” SAMS retiree Charlie Endicott, who arrived in the Valley five years after the Nashes said he was fortunate to join a staff that included three outstanding teach-ers and mentors: Bob

Loosmore “who was always Bob Loosmore,” the “flamboyant” Derek Best, and the “steady and methodi-cal” Ed Nash.

Responding to the accolades about his career at SAMS, Ed waxed philosophi-cal, quoting Albert Einstein, saying “Education is what’s left over after you’ve forgotten what you learned in school.” He went on to say that over a lifetime, a person first learns, then gains experience, and maybe, after the learning and experience, becomes truly “educated.”

Ed further noted that he and Margaret, in their 47 years in the Valley “have probably been on every possible committee,” much of this in the 32 years since his retirement from SAMS. He told the gathering they had learned from their com-munity service work that “when you serve, you find you get some-

thing back.”And serve the com-

munity they did indeed!Margaret was a

founding member of the Bella Coola Hospital Auxiliary 35 years ago, serving as Treasurer and Secretary. Heather Knudsen described her as “excel-lent, efficient” and “a dedicated, inspiring volunteer”, noting that even after failing health prevented her attending meetings, she continued to phone community supporters for dona-tions.

Margaret Brekke described her as an “energetic and dedi-cated” volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society, and presented her with a certificate and pin acknowledging her 30 years of service in that organization.

Margaret also vol-unteered on the Fall Fair Board for 22 years, much of the time as Treasurer and Secretary, typing detailed minutes. During the fair, she

organized the judging and kept supplies in order. For 18 years she served as Secretary of the Augsburg Ladies Aid, introducing typed minutes, selling raffle tickets, baking and handing out tickets at the group’s auctions.

“Sometimes,” Epp told the gathering, “she even supplied the prizes, worked in the kitchen, and bid generously on the items she wanted.” In addition to this, Margaret served on the board of the Centennial Swimming Pool.

Likewise, Ed served on various boards and committees throughout his time in the Valley. During his 16 years on a number of health-related boards, he was instrumental in getting Bella Coola included in the Vancouver Coastal Health region.

He was also active

in securing the licence for Bella Coola’s Community Forest. For more than 20 years, Ed served as Treasurer of the Bella Coola Rod and Gun Club and was instrumental in acquir-ing the Saloompt site of the Club’s shooting range.

He was also active in creating Bella Coola’s summer softball games for which he specialized in training umpires. The Nashes were also among the Valley’s most avid bridge play-ers, and Ed became well known for his retire-ment hobby: hand-crafting a wide variety of high-quality knives.

While the kudos offered at the Nash’s Farewell Tea were varied and numerous, perhaps the most telling was one describing Ed Nash as “the most truly honest person I have

ever met” and another calling him “the most scrupulous, honest, civic-minded man I’ve ever met”.

As the Nashes were preparing to leave the Valley, Ed said he and his younger daughter would be sharing the driving, but that she would be driving up The Hill because he is always accused of driv-ing “too close to the edge”. “I just keep on my side of the road,” he explained. Of their new life in Kamloops, he invites visitors, wryly adding, “there’s an open door. Please come in, but please go back out.”

The potluck Farewell Tea was orga-nized by Milica Epp, Paula Fralick, Barb Gilbert, Maryanne Gurr, Connie Nygaard, Susan Osmers, Dianne Tuck, and June.

Ed and Margaret Nash, residents of the Bella Coola Valley since 1968, were joined by son Ted, daughter-in-law Georgina (centre), and daughter Pat at a recent Farewell Tea at Mountain View Lodge. Before their move to Kamloops, the Nashes were honoured

for their many years of service in numerous community groups over the years.

Unexpected Bella Coola Vacation: Eva Tebartz (seated right) and fellow traveller Hechthild Beste, visitors from Germany, enjoyed the Copper Sun Gallery's August 19 Nuxalk artists exhibition - even though their travel plans were highjacked by BC

Ferries. The pair had arrived in a rental car at Port Hardy expecting to take the Circle Route to Bella Coola and driving back to Vancouver, but found they couldn't get their car onto the Nimpkish Connector. Undaunted, they left their car in Port Hardy, booked

foot-passage to Bella Coola, rented a car here, spent five nights, and returned to Port Hardy as foot passengers to pick up their car and backtrack south to Vanvouver. Apologizing for her English, Tebartz said the experience "was kind of anoying. The two rated their Nimpkish experience poorly, saying they would much prefer a direct

12-hour daylight sailing from Port Hardy to Bella Coola

As families across British Columbia prepare for the start

of school on Sept. 8, these tips should help make the back-

to-school transition a smoother one.

Create a launch

pad for items your child needs for school each day— a space

for backpacks, lunch kits,shoes, jackets and school assign-ments. This will help keep your child orga-nized and ease the morning rush.

Parents of Primary Students: Confirm start times for the first day of school and the entire first week. If your child is attending a new school, check with the school board to ensure your child has the information and identification needed for registration. Adjust your children’s bedtime and wake-up times a week before the start of school to prepare them for the back-to-school rou-tine.

Get your children in the habit of choos-ing their clothing the night before to help the morning begin calmly. Find out how your child’s teacher likes to communicate with parents and take advantage of contact opportunities. You can make an impor-

tant contribution by volunteering at your child’s school. Contact your local board of education or the Parent Advisory Council to find out about volunteer opportunities.

Parents of Intermediate/Middle School Students: Talk enthusiastically to your children about the new school year, reminding them of the fun they will have with friends and the exciting new things they will learn.

Go over schedules with your children to make sure they are registered in the correct classes. It is important that children feel com-fortable attending a new school. Help your children locate classrooms and key areas such as the gym, library and caf-eteria before the start of school. Make sure your child knows how to get from one class to another on time. Continue to find ways

to be involved in the school community as this is a great way to get to know your chil-dren’s teachers and other parents.

Parents of Secondary Students: Discuss courses and programs with your child, their teacher and the principal. Ensure your child will meet graduation requirements.

If your teenagers are starting at a new school, encourage them to arrange a visit to locate class-rooms, the gym, caf-eteria and library so they will feel more comfortable on their first day.

Ask your teenag-ers to review their schedules and make an appointment with a school counsellor if they are concerned about possible con-flicts or mistakes. Post your child’s schedule of assign-ments in a central place and include dates of exams and other activities.

THANK YOUThe Ellis Family would like to extend a big heartfelt Thank-You to Craig Widsten and Shearwater Marine, Craig Tuck, Oran and Chuck Hoppe Family, Neil Oborne, Bella Coola Harbour Authority, Canada Coast Guard, RCMP, Snootli Fish Hatchery, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Slade Wheatley, Lee Kyle, Dave Gilbert, Todd and Lany Rambo, Barney Kern, Liam Thatcher, Ivar Nygaard and many others, and you know who you are, for all their many hours of help with regards to the recent sinking of the Pacific Grizzly in the Bella Coola Harbour.

The Van Isle/Pacific Grizzly was built by Boeing Aircraft in Vancouver BC in 1936 and had a very long and rich history on this coast. She patrolled the West Coast during the Second World War and fished for BC Packers for many years. BC Packers retired the vessel in 1995 and Ellis purchased the vessel in 1997 to refit and utilize as a mobile basecamp for our Guide/Outfitting operations.

The Pacific Grizzly employed many local people for years and hosted many international clients aboard her. She was used as a liveaboard for Hunters, Salmon Fishermen and Timber cruisers year round and always brought her guests and crew home safely. It was a very sad event the last couple of weeks to witness the salvage of the vessel but fortunately no one was hurt and countless numbers of crew, guests and clients have many great memo-ries aboard the MV Pacific Grizzly in her 79 year lifespan.

The kindness, support and understanding of the local Bella Coola people has been wonderful and we are very fortunate to live in a community with good people that pull together in events such as this. The Ellis family sin-cerely appreciates the kind words from so many in this unfortunate event.

On August 19, 2015 the Bella Coola RCMP received reports from individ-uals within the Bella Coola Valley who receive telephone calls from a per-son identifying themselves as an Officer. During the conversation the person states that a warrant for arrest had been issued and unless bank-ing information is provided the RCMP along with the Canadian Revenue Agency will attend the residence to make a arrest.

This person is not

a representative of the RCMP as mem-bers of the RCMP will not call request-ing banking infor-mation. Calls of this manner should be immediately report-ed to the Bella Coola RCMP at 250-799-5363 or in person at 1108 Burke Avenue, Bella Coola, BC.

BY MONICA LAMB-YORSKI

As one of his horses nudged the fence with his nose at the Stampede Grounds, Mick Grabowsky said he and his horses have experienced great hos-pitality while staying in Williams Lake.

“A woman came here this morning and brought me fresh warm cinnamon buns,” he smiled on Wednesday morning. “People have been really friendly.”

Grabowsky, who hails from Duncan Creek in the Kootenays, has been travelling with three horses and his dog Pi since April. So far they have covered 1,500 kilometres.

“When we got here on Monday the horses were interested in the other end of the corral because they could see other

horses,” Grabowsky pointed. “Now they are hanging out at this end by the gate, itch-

ing to get on the road again. They really love it I think.”

Last week they

departed for Riske Creek. As for why he’s decided to see the province by horse-

back, Grabowsky said: “I could sit in a rock-ing chair and grow old or get out and see things.”

When asked how long he’ll ride, he smirked and said people in his family lived to be 100. Then with a chuckle, added, probably until winter when he’ll find some-where to stay for a few months. His two-day ride from Alkali Lake to Williams Lake was his longest trek to date. He has friends in Springhouse he stopped to visit.

His horses Rebel, 6, Sirocco, 4, and Red Dawn, 4 are part Navada Mustang crossed with Suffield Mustang. Sirocco is grey, which means the flies love her the most, he added.

He imprints his horses before birth, he explained, noting he has been raising horses for decades. “I spend the last month with the mother, talk-ing to her so when her colt is born it will know who I am.”

As his dog comes up to say hello after peeking out from under their gear, Grabowsky said it’s not much of a life without a dog.

Normally they take forestry roads and trails, to avoid the main highways, and when they camp they

all sleep together. “I slept away from

the horses one night and when I returned

in the morning it was like a dog pile. They were so happy to see me.”
