Winter has arrived in the Valley

Bella Coola Co-op continues its fight to stay open BY CAITLIN THOMPSON

The Bella Coola Co-op has survived its first year as an independent store. After its official break from Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) last year, the local Co-op has faced some major challenges and made some significant changes. The decision to leave FCL required the Co-op to pay out their debts. The FCL accepted the Co-op’s member equity, various small amounts in other accounts, and a cash payment of $75,000. This still required

the FCL to write off approximately $500,000 owing. The Co-op was finally free of their debt and their obligations to FCL, but other tests remained. The Co-op had to take out a loan with the Williams Lake and District Credit Union to cover the cost of the payout and, as is standard in any retail store operation, a large line of credit to cover stock costs. With sales down almost ten per cent from last year, operating costs higher by almost $33,000, fires and floods wreaking havoc, numerous new expenses, and a marginal

economy, many are wondering how the store has remained open. “All of these changes put a lot of stress on management and staff,” said President Peter Fralick. “However I am pleased to say they rose to the occasion – we are still in operation.” The Co-op has switched suppliers and is now ordering from Buy-Lo Foods, whose house brand is Western Family. The store is still trying to locate a supplier that can, promptly and for a reasonable price, supply some of the needs Western Family cannot meet.

The Co-op was first incorporated in 1944 and this was its 67th Annual General Meeting. Since its inception the Co-op has depended on member support, and the past few years have driven this point home. In addition to being the only grocery store on the Townsite, the Co-op also is one of the Valley’s largest employers. The store employs 19 staff in full and part-time positions. Losing it would be a huge blow to the Valley’s already limited job base. Unfortunately, the Board had to accept the resignation of

Deb Nygaard, who has decided to leave her management position to return to her previous position as Supervisor. This will result in more change as the store searches for a qualified replacement. The meeting ended with the same message ringing through the hall – the Co-op’s survival depends on community support. “The future looks brighter than it has for the past eleven AGM’s,” said Fralick. “But we will only survive if our members support the store by shopping there.”

Invitation to Participate in Research

My name is Alison Krahn and I am a master’s student in education at the University of British Columbia. I am here in Bella Coola for my research project, which is designed to gain a better understanding of the educational experiences and goals of young mothers living in the Bella Coola community. My intention is to explore the factors that young mothers identify as being valuable towards enhancing educational engagement and achievement in their community. I am seeking to hold interviews with women who have had at least one child during their teenage years. I am hoping to speak with women who have completed their high school education and other training, as well as with women who have not yet completed their secondary schooling. I hope to facilitate a genuine dialogue through these interviews to hear what you have to say about your experiences, interests, goals and needs within the context of education. **Every precaution has been taken to maintain confidentiality and to protect your identity **

Federal government says no to Prosperity Mine at Fish Lake BY CAITLIN THOMPSON The federal government has rejected the proposed Prosperity gold-copper mine at Fish Lake. Despite receiving provincial approval and strong support in the Williams Lake area for the project, the federal government could not deny the damning environmental report the mine received from the federal review panel. Environment Minister Jim Prentice said cabinet has rejected the Taseko Mines Ltd. project because of its adverse environmental impact and the damage it would cause Fish Lake and dozens of connecting streams. Prentice did give the green light to another proposed mine at Mount Mulligan, near Prince George. “The government has considered both projects carefully, particularly their environmental impacts,” Prentice said. “We believe in balancing resource stewardship with economic development.” Completed months ago, the independent federal review panel found that the mine “would result in significant adverse environmental effects on: fish and fish habitat; navigation; current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by first nations and on cultural heritage; and

certain potential or established aboriginal rights or title” if it were to proceed. The project proposed the destruction of Fish Lake, located in Tsilhqot’in traditional territory, which would have become a tailings pond for mine waste. Taseko had proposed to build a new lake to replace Fish Lake. The Tsilhqot’in were vehemently opposed to the project and many stated that they would be willing to sacrifice their lives to save Fish Lake. However, Williams Lake area residents and businesses desperate for employment were counting on the mine to bolster their flagging economy. The decision has left many despondent. The mine was touted as an $800-million project that would create 700 jobs in the Williams Lake region, which has been hard-hit by the pine beetle epidemic and the downturn in the forest industry. Many felt that the economic benefits were worth the environmental cost and that the region would continue to suffer indefinitely if the mine did not proceed. Dick Harris, federal MP for CaribooPrince George, agrees. “Despite yesterday’s news that the Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine was not granted federal authorization to go ahead at this time, I will continue to vigorously press forward,” Harris said last week.

Harris has promised to introduce a Private Members Bill that ‘would require the government to apply equal weight and balanced consideration to social/ economic factors when considering projects such as the Prosperity proposal.’ “Currently it seems that all the checks and balances weigh in favour of environmental-only considerations, with little weight given to the very real social and economic necessities of communities and entire regions,” said Harris. “This bill would demand that parallel review processes would be required.” First Nations organizations are applauding the decision, saying it was in the best interest of the environment and the rights of First Nations in the area. “At the end of the day the federal review panel process was detailed and complete and resulted in sound justifiable reasons for rejecting the proposed mine,” said Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive. “The real winner in today's decision is the pristine environment in central BC, and in particular, Teztan Biny (Fish Lake), which will now be preserved for future generations of the Tsilhqot'in Nation.” Many are now calling into question the province’s environmental assessment

process, which granted Taseko approval for the mine last June and issued them a 25-year mining lease. “It boggles my mind that the B.C. government would have even considered destroying a huge, well-stocked fishing lake that is of great significance to an indigenous community, and is surrounded by cultural sites including First Nations burial grounds,” said Sierra Club BC Executive Director George Heyman. “Today's decision points to serious flaws in the B.C. environmental assessment process.” Despite this enormous setback, Taseko Mines Vice President Brian Battison says the company will continue to pursue the mine. “We want to try and find out what the decision was based on,” Battison says. “Once we find out and fully evaluate the reasons for their decision, then we can better evaluate the options if there are any options for us.” Taseko took a hit in the stock market the day after the decision was announced, and Battison confirms that the company has so far spent about $110 million on the project that began 17 years ago. Taseko claims that the mine would have provided 500 full-time and 1,200 spin-off jobs in Williams Lake and the region during its 20-year lifespan.

Bella Coola Farmers starting to receive some flood relief BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Things are getting a little easier for farmers in Bella Coola with some flood relief starting to come in. Bella Coola Agricultural Society Food Security Coordinator Dayna Chapman has been working tirelessly to promote the farmers’ cause across the province. “We have received the most support from the smaller agriculture communities in the province,” said

Chapman. “Places like Grand Forks have been stepping up to help because they can see the similarities between themselves and Bella Coola.” With Disaster Financial Assistance not available for most of Bella Coola’s farmers, the needs are proving to be enormous. Bella Coola is receiving help from the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP), and recovery of homes and roads is underway. But farmers are not able to get the help they need,

said Chapman. “Unfortunately, the agriculture needs aren’t eligible for assistance through the PEP program – there’s not much they can do at this point,” explains Chapman. “Due to the realities of the agriculture industry, our farmers are forced to work off the farm in order to make ends meet, which makes them ineligible.” The situation in Bella Coola really hit home in the community of Grand Forks, explained Grand

One of the many pumpkins designed for the Bella Coola fundraiser in Grand Forks

Forks and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) President Doug Zorn. “I felt that this could be happening to our Kootenay Boundary area,” says Zorn. “A month ago we could have easily had a dump of snow that wiped out all our food crops and even some of our hay crops. I just felt it was important to show support for different farmers in B.C.” Multiple businesses in Grand Forks have laid down pledges of up to $100 each and challenged others to do the same. A pumpkin auction was designated for Bella Coola and the fundraising continues. Bella Coola farmers are suffering losses on all fronts. Livestock were swept away, land was washed out, equipment and infrastructure were damaged beyond repair and hay supplies were decimated. “At this point, our community has lost over 270 tonnes of winter feed. There were some livestock lost. A lot of people lost their chicken flock, which in the

grand scheme of agriculture doesn’t seem like that much, but it really affected individual families here. When you couple that with damage to structures, barns, paddocks, hay barns, hen houses and all the fencing and stuff it becomes overwhelming,” says Chapman. “Our community's efforts to support

local farmers and increase the resiliency of our agricultural sector, as well as increase our community's ability to feed itself, are in jeopardy.” The Ag Society has spent years encouraging a local food movement and is naturally stricken by these losses. Chapman, however, remains buoyed by the willingness of

other communities and organizations to help out. “The Horse Council of BC, along with and a number of other small, generous donations, managed to bring in 676 60-lb bales of hay for Valley horses,” said Chapman. “Hopefully there will be more coming in the next couple weeks.”

John Earl Edward Moody Lhalyamc – Copper Man September 3, 2003 – May 27, 2010

On a beautiful sunny day, September 3, 2003, our Moody family welcomed John Earl Edward into our hearts. He was a husky 8lbs 12oz and the moment you saw him you knew he was something special.

Victoria was there to welcome her new sibling. She did everything from bringing me ice chips to rubbing my belly and, my least favourite, counting to fifteen for my contractions. She stayed from beginning to end and

was the proudest big sister ever when she was finally allowed to hold John in her arms. The love that flowed back and forth between them will continue to do so. John was born with ‘special’ marks – eight of them to be exact. They were a bit startling at first but I was assured they were just birthmarks. At three months of age John began to have seizures and we were sent to BC Children’s Hospital where John was diagnosed with Neurocutaneuos Melanosis – a rare cancer. We were told he probably wouldn’t make it to his first birthday. The news was devastating but I never gave up on John and he never gave up on life. John went through many procedures in his short life – MRI’s, EEG’s, blood tests, x-rays, the list goes on. Every step of the way he showed his strength and determination. I guided him through everything as best I could and John always knew the doctors were trying to help him. He did what he had to do and no matter what, he knew he was loved. On December 4, 2004, when John was only fifteen months old he became a big brother to Todd Robert James. The love he showed was amazing. No jealousy, just pure unconditional love. Over time they grew so close they were like twins. On May 4, 2008, John became a big brother once again to Shaylen Victoria Marie and he was no longer my only dark haired child. “Mommy she looks

just like me only prettier,” he said. Shaylen and John took to each other immediately with unconditional love. In December 2009 John began to have headaches and pain in the back of his neck. Our team of ‘Angels’ (doctors) checked him over and he was given a clean bill of health. Thank you Creator! As time passed, things got worse for John. January 2010 came and John was still complaining of pain in his head and neck. February was a hard time for our family as it was Uncle Scott’s Memorial Feast. John was in the local hospital but was determined to go honour his beloved uncle. Creator help the person who tries to stop John when he sets his mind on something! He went to the memorial and celebrated his uncle’s life with all the strength and love he had in his body. I was in awe of his spirit. In early March an MRI was performed and once again we were given a clean bill of health. We came home but the pain and headaches continued. On March 19 we were admitted to the local hospital because of John’s intense pain that resulted in seizures. We were medevaced to BC Children’s on March 20 where doctors found swelling and a tumour on his brain stem. We were notified on March 26 that there was no cure. On May 23 things went from hard to devastating. John and I were medevaced to BC Children’s once

again where an MRI showed cancerous tumours along his spine and enhanced around his brain. The cancer had spread rapidly and we were moved to Canuck Place where they did their best to manage John’s pain and provide support for both of us. Thankfully, on May 25 we were medevaced home to our hospital for what I knew would be the last time. My beautiful boy had lost the ability to talk, move his limbs and the live the life he so deserved. He could still move his eyes and hear me, and at the airport family and friends singing Nuxalk songs and honouring John greeted us. He heard the ancient words being sung and the drums beating. He opened his eyes and for a brief moment and knew he was home. In the palliative care room five of our Chiefs, one Chief from Quatsino, four elders and many family and friends witnessed John Earl Edward Moody being given the ‘Lhalyamc’ – Copper Man – He Who Shines Like Copper - his greatgrandfather Chief Robert Moody’s name. To say it was spiritual is not enough. The energy in the room was amazing. Eagle down was placed on his blanket and headband that was lovingly made by his family. Clyde Tallio and Chris and Lance Nelson sang a Moody family song for John. After the Naming Ceremony the Chiefs went outside and danced the Honour

Song for John. He heard the drums and opened his eyes again for another brief moment. John’s spirit throughout his entire life was pure. No hate, jealousy, or negative energy. Innocence, loving, generous and open are words more suited to John. Even when faced with his passing, he was more worried about his family instead of being scared. He always put others before himself and I believe he will do so when he gets home to our Creator. John and I wrote his eulogy together at Canuck Place before he lost the ability to speak or communicate. Now that I read it I realize how much we forgot to put in. We were so stuck in his illness that we forgot to share Just John with all of you. John had an amazing spirit throughout all of his life. No matter what he was faced with he did with determination and the utmost grace. He loved his family and friends with every ounce of his being and worried about them having to deal with his passing. The fact that my child worried about this amazed me; if I had been in his shoes I would have been scared and not thinking about others. This showed how much love he possessed for all of us. John loved sports, especially soccer which he was a part of for two seasons. He loved having Gun Samuelson as his coach in 2009 and brought humour to the game. This was one of John’s many talents. His humour

was wicked, made his family laugh on many occasions and we remember the Slap Chop incident like it was yesterday. Just ask Auntie Louise Hilland – it’s one of my favourite memories of John. John was a budding artist and enjoyed all forms of art. Painting, drawing, chalk, clay, you name it he tried it. In honour of his Nuxalk heritage he drew Thunderbirds, HawHaws and closer to his end he tried drawing Coppers. He loved the Smayustas, songs and dances and took part in Nuxalk classes with great interest. Clyde Tallio, whom John considered his Uncle, remembers singing with John at Canuck Place – T’iclhala – Robin Song on May 23 and how hard John tried to sing with him even though he was weak. This was an example of John’s love for his heritage and family. On May 27, 2010 at 2:11 am, my son John Earl Edward Moody – Lhalyamc – Copper Man – took his last breath in my arms surrounded by family. I am grateful my Creator allowed me that moment with John; that He took John home to he with his ancestors and loved ones who have gone before him. There is no more pain, tests, emergencies, there is no more. John is shining like Copper…Copper Man…Lhalyamc…I love you to infinity and beyond my boy. Until we meet again run, laugh, play and watch over us that were left behind. As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.

Hospital receives donation on behalf of John Moody

The hospital recently received an Xbox 360 Elite and 37 inch flat screen TV donated in memory of John Moody. From L to R: Shaylen, Edie, Todd and Victoria Moody with Rose Brown and Lorinda Anderson SUBMITTED BY EDIE MOODY “Mommy, I want to raise money for our local hospital,” John said to me in a matter of fact manner last February. To hear my

six year old announce something like that made me curious about his thought process at this point in his journey. “They really need their own Xbox 360 and TV,” he said. At that moment,

I understood exactly what he meant. We were on what seemed like our hundredth visit to our local hospital and John was being observed due his head pain and other issues. He had

been in and out of hospitals, he knew the drill like the back of his hand and he didn’t complain too much, except for the fact that our hospital did not have a trolley like B.C. Children’s. At B.C. Children’s most floors have trolleys with TV’s and video games for the kids to pass the time. John’s favourite pastime was to play LEGO Batman with his mom and for those precious moments he felt like a child again. That was the purpose of those trolleys at Children’s. Even though he was stuck in the hospital, he could still be the beautiful child he was. A while later I told John’s story to Ron Richards at Belco Service and he was amazed at John’s capacity to think about other people despite everything he was going through. “That’s Just John for you Ron,” I said, thinking that he might be able to do

this one amazing thing for our hospital. “Let’s see what we can do for John, Edie,” he said. “We’ll be in touch.” True to his word, Ron got in touch with me. As I walked through Belco’s door I couldn’t help but think it wasn’t good news, but I was mistaken. “Edie, I talked to Columbia Fuels and they are going to help,” said Ron. “John gets his wish!” I was totally speechless! You all know me and that’s a rare occurrence, but it’s true! As I looked from Ron to Jason I started to cry, John got one wish granted. Dwayne Saugstad went to Hagensborg Shop Easy to purchase the goods. With help from Roger Brandt, these lovely people managed to buy a 37 inch flat screen TV and an Xbox 360 Elite for John to present to the hospital. In moments like these I am thankful I live in

such a beautiful community like the Bella Coola Valley. John’s siblings Victoria, Todd and Shaylen recently presented the hospital with the TV and Xbox 360. The hospital is planning to use the TV in the multipurpose

room for the adult day program and other events. The Xbox 360 will be bolted down onto a trolley and a smaller TV will be added. This way it will be able to go in any room of our hospital, especially the room of a small child.

Armistice Day Ceremony brings personalized view

This years’ Armistice Ceremony was presided over by Chief Warrant Officer Chris Waugh, the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the Second Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry , who is based in Shilo, Manitoba. BY STEPHEN WAUGH It was a full house at the recent 2010 Armistice Ceremony held at Augsburg Church in Hagensborg as the community came together once again to honour the many veterans of military service who’ve devoted themselves to the freedoms we

enjoy in our great country. But the recognition didn’t end with Canadians as the group of honoured veterans at the service also included representatives from Great Britain, the United States and Denmark. This year was an extra special event for me as, to my complete surprise, my younger brother came to the

valley to address the ceremonies. Chief Warrant Officer Chris Waugh, the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) of the Second Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (2PPCLI) based in Shilo, Manitoba, was instructed to represent the Canadian Forces at the Bella Coola event. Chris entered the

Canadian Military after graduating high school and has risen to the highest non-commissioned rank achievable in his 30 year career. He has served overseas in Germany, Cyprus, twice in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Most recently, his Battalion provided back-country security for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Whistler. The day threatened rain or even snow but the colour party, directed by Ranger 2IC Maury Tyre, marched from the Legion to the Cenotaph where the ceremonies were led by Legion President Ron Richards. Ron introduced the honoured guests, who also included Warrant Officer Carl Coventry of the Canadian Forces based in Victoria, along with several distinguished local servicemen. The last post was played strongly by Steve Dishkin and

November 30th to December 1st

the crowd respected the two minutes of silence at the 11 hour of the 11 day of the 11 month, representing the time that the famous Armistice agreement was signed, ending the First World War. At that point the ceremonies moved inside the church sanctuary where prayers led by United Church Minister and Legion Chaplain, Ann AustinCardwell, were followed by Ranger Tom Loosemore reading the poem, ‘Flanders Fields.’ A special musical feature was then provided by the Bella Coola Community Choir led by Elizabeth Endicott to the enjoyment of all present. The Reflection was given by Chief Warrant Officer Waugh who provided the gathering with a detailed history of the conflicts the Canadian Forces have participated in since Canadian confederation in 1867. Two million Canadian soldiers, sailors and air men and women have served their country overseas during that period and more than 110,000 have died in the line of duty. This year, Waugh stated, we commemorate the end of an era with the passing of John Babcock, the last known veteran of World War One, who passed away in February at the age of 109. He represented those of a great generation who sacrificed so much for us today and helped define Canada as a nation. Waugh also advised that this year marked the 100 anniversary of Canada’s senior service, the Canadian

Navy. He went on to acknowledge the merchant navy, the silent soldiers of the cold war and the RCMP, who also deserve our appreciation for their efforts towards maintaining peace in our country. Then Chris provided the crowd with a personal remembrance, one that he brought with him from Afghanistan. He explained that in this tour he worked in camp as the Sergeant Major in charge of the Battalion Headquarters and that one night there was an incident where a young Sergeant, Jason Boyes, had stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) and had been seriously injured. He had been one of Chris’ soldiers from basically the first day that he had joined the Second Battalion and Chris knew him well. Unfortunately, his wounds were such that he didn’t survive the ordeal and Chris was the last Patricia to see him before his death. He described how Sergeant Boyes left behind a young wife and three year old daughter and how he had written a eulogy for Jason but had never had the chance to read it. He then honoured Sergeant Jason Boyes and the entire crowd by reading it to us for the first time. It described how soldiers were a unique group of individuals and it takes a certain person to become one. The term ‘Lead by example’ is the header idiom on the Canadian Forces ‘Principles of Leadership’ and Chris said that Jason lived by that statement, tire-

lessly striving to correct his own faults and improve his soldiering ability as part of his everyday life. He went on to explain that Jason’s wife Alison and daughter Mackenzie would have known Jason in an entirely different way than his fellow soldiers did but that, in the years to come, when the soldiers of the Second Battalion met either formally or informally they would always remember Jason and his exploits. As if the personal story of a family torn apart wasn’t enough for the crowd, Chief Warrant Officer Waugh continued by explaining that one of his duties as Sergeant Major for the Battalion Headquarters was to plan and execute the ramp ceremonies for fallen soldiers and that Jason’s was his first. And as Chris watched Sgt. Boyes carried past him on the shoulders of his comrades the pipes played ‘flowers of the forest’ and he knew that Remembrance Day would, from that time on, take on a completely different meaning for him. Unfortunately, he had to hear that song played 17 more times before his tour of duty in Afghanistan ended and he was able to return home to his own wife and six year old daughter. Thanks to Chris for bringing the reason for us to recognize Remembrance Day to a personal level and thanks to all the veterans who continue to make sacrifices for our freedoms.

Young Nuxalk carver Latham Mack travels to New Zealand for carving workshop BY SARA GERMAIN Young Nuxalk carver Latham Mack recently graduated from renowned Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace, B.C. He has a promising future as a talented carver and artist and has been working on some totem poles in Northern B.C. He was also invited to New Zealand to instruct some carving workshops. Coast Mountain News recently had the privilege of interviewing him from his home in Terrace. Coast Mountain News: So you grew up in Bella Coola? Latham Mack: Yes, I moved up here to Terrace to go to the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art two years ago. It’s a two-year diploma program and it’s been great. After I finished I was asked by my mentor to do my apprenticeship under him. So I’ve been doing my apprenticeship under Dempsey Bob and we carved a 16 foot totem pole this past summer. Something I found really interesting about the totem pole rising; when people up here in the north finish carving a pole they tie the traditional tools around their waist or over their shoulder and they point the knives down and dance around the

pole. That represents that they’re finished carving pole and their tools aren’t going to touch it anymore because it’s standing. I thought that was pretty cool. That’s something else about this program, I’m learning a lot about their culture up here some of it is similar to Nuxalk culture, and some of it is pretty different. CMN: Who were some of the people who have influenced your work? LM: I’ve had some good teachers. My grandfather, Laurence Mack played a big role in what I do today, he influenced me from a very young age. I did my first little mask when I was 13. When my grandfather and his brothers would get together for a potlatch, I used to go there every day and watch them carve and I was into drawing and painting before that. He played a big role. CMN: At the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art are there artists from all over BC and Canada? LM: Yes. There are artists from all over B.C., and a lot of the artists are from areas up here. The program accepts 12 students every year, so there are just 24 of us in total. It’s great, just going into the class, the environment, being around all the

different artists, being inspired by the students. That’s a really good experience. I learned a lot through the program. CMN: Had there been any Nuxalk students before you attended the program? LM: No, I’m the first as this program is only in its sixth year. The one before that was in Hazelton, which is shut down now. This is the only course you can take anywhere for Northwest Coast

Art. Some of the top teachers are here; it’s amazing; this program is getting better and better every year. After I finished my first year, two of my cousins also joined the program - Chazz Mack and Kelly Robinson. It’s pretty cool to see more people from the community coming to the school. CMN: What’s your plan for the next couple years? LM: I’d like to stay up here and work with my mentor and carve with him for as long as I can. He’s a really good teacher I like working with him. I’d like to start getting my pieces into the market and build a reputation for my name. CMN: Would you say that certain things influence your carving, like stories, experiences, animals, etc.? LM: Oh yeah, definitely. All the different stories I read. There’s many different ways of getting influenced. It depends what you’re working on. Right now I’m working on my two-dimensional design in drawing and painting. I’m really inspired and having fun with that. When I first came to the program I was taught the

Latham Mack with his family and mentor Dempsey Bob at the pole raising near Terrace last September basics of Northwest Coast Art and how the forms flow together. CMN: Would you say that there’s something uniquely Nuxalk about your work? LM: Definitely. I’m trying to find my style, the Nuxalk style.

I study our ancestors’ masks and totem poles, house fronts, box designs. I kind of study everything and use it as a basis for what I carve, try to incorporate what I know into the pieces, try to change it up.

Eventually I want to go down to some of the museums and get to hold the masks and study them in person. I went to the UBC Museum of Anthropology and looked at their pieces. SEE MACK ON PAGE 8

It was a great experience. CMN: Tell us about your experience in New Zealand. LM: We were invited down to New Zealand to do a carving workshop. The instructor that’s teaching there came here a few years ago and worked with the instructors in Terrace to see how the program was run. He

went back to New Zealand and now he’s teaching students there. He wanted to bring some students from the course here in Terrace to carve with his students, so we had a carving workshop for just under a week. We carved a big sculpture that Dempsey designed - a full body eagle, with a human face on the back. The human face was a Maori “Ta

moko” face tattoo design. We carved that out of totara wood; which is a traditional carving wood in New Zealand. It was a little different than what I normally work with but it was nice wood to work with; kind of like alder mixed together with red or yellow cedar, kind of hard, yet soft. You can carve real nice finishing detail in it. CMN: What advice

would you give young people in Bella Coola? LM: Work hard, really focus on what you want to become after high school and research and know what you’re going to need to get into the program you want to get into. Definitely hard work and do the best you can in school. Finish school, go out and chase your dreams. CMN: How can people from Bella

Coola see your work? LM: I have a fan page on Facebook now where I post all my new stuff. I’d like to get my own website once I establish myself a little more. I just had a big two and half foot piece sent back to Bella Coola recently that will be on display in the Swan Goose Gallery in the Shop Easy. The new owners commissioned me to do their logo design. I’m really

happy that it went back home for my people to enjoy and see where my level is at since I left. CMN: Do you have plans to come back to Bella Coola to visit soon? LM: Definitely. I actually have plans to come back this winter to carve with my grandfather. It’s been a couple years since I’ve got to work with him. I’ve been talking with him about it and

Victims Matter.

So can you. Find the information you need at:

VictimsMatter.gc.ca 1 800 O-Canada

he’s excited, so I’ll get to go back and teach him a little bit now because in the program I learned how to use a lot of chisels, where as before we used a lot of traditional tools. When my grandfather came up to my graduation ceremony he bought the first year’s tools supplies and he wants me to show him how to use the tools. That’s something! I’ll be teaching my mentor, I never thought that day would come! I like to share as much as I can with anyone who wants to become an artist. In the future I’d like to move back home and teach the youth our culture, our art. CMN: Is there anyone who especially helped you achieve what you’ve accomplished up to now? LM: I’d like to thank my family and friends for all the support over the years. My family has traveled a long way for my graduation ceremony and when I won the YVR award again this year. They also came for the totem pole rising in Terrace. I’d really like to thank them for helping me out over they years. In particular I’d like to thank my great aunties. When I submitted my Thunder mask into the airport for the YVR Scholarship Award my aunties made me a traditional blanket to go with it. The mask is the first piece that I kept for myself. Everything else I’ve either given away as gifts or I’ve sold. It’s on display at the airport right now for one year and I decided to keep for use in traditional dancing and potlatches. I can’t wait to get it back. I want to dance it at one of the potlatches and show the Elders, so I’m pretty excited about that.
