hollywood star Adam Beach was in Bella Coola and joined the 13th annual Walk of hope

‘Arctic Air’ star Adam Beach joins 13th annual Walk of Hope By Caitlin thompson Celebrating their 13th year, the Nuxalk Nation’s Snxlhh Transition House’s annual Walk of Hope featured an impressive turnout and a special guest: Hollywood movie star Adam Beach. The Transition House has been operational since 1998, offering safe shelter to women experiencing abuse and various counseling and educational outreach programs aimed at stopping family violence. The Walk of Hope is their annual event intended to raise awareness around violence, in particular violence against women. Successful First Nations actor Adam Beach was brought in as a motivational speaker to coincide with the Walk of Hope and the first local students’ completion of the Chemical Addictions Worker Certificate Program, known as CHAD. Thirteen students have completed the first portion of the certificate program, offered by the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, through Lip’alhayc College. Beach’s presence, aimed mainly at the youth, was part of the celebration of these achievements. Graduates of the CHAD program offered presentations

on their experiences, which were overwhelmingly positive. Graduate Ron Schooner, who presented on addiction, said the program changed his life. “It’s time to end the cycle of trauma and abuse because we turn to addiction to cope,” said Schooner. “These addictions cause more hurt and problems in the long run, we need to take it on, one by one.” Joyce Webber, who presented on Self, Health, and Wellness, spoke from the heart about how the program opened her eyes to the effects trauma had on her own life. “We need to decolonize our minds,” said Webber. “Tell your kids you love them, show them affection. Residential school took so much away, it’s time to take it back.” The CHAD program’s community presentation included booths from Bella Coola Community Support Society, Bella Coola Home and Community Care, the Snxlhh Transition House, RCMP, Tsow-Tun- Le Lum, Lip’alhayc College, the Nuxalk Nation, and First Nations Health. “I think the most important thing we learned is that the healing needs to take place here,” said graduate Nola Mack. “We need to do it together, in our territory, in our home.” It was within that spirit of

young local artist Ses Saunders presented Beach with an original piece. healing that Beach, who spent three days in Bella Coola, shared his personal story of childhood trauma, loss, and abuse, and how he overcame these challenges to enjoy a successful Hollywood career as an actor. Born on the Dog Creek First Nation in Manitoba, Beach lost both his parents within months of each another. His mother, eight

months pregnant at the time, was hit by a drunk driver outside his home. His grief-stricken father drowned eight weeks later. “Losing my parents, the people I loved most in the world, changed everything,” Beach shared. “I lost all my fear because I had nothing left to lose; it had already been taken from me.” Beach and his two brothers

were initially sent to live with their grandparents, and later on with their aunt and uncle in Winnipeg. It was during his teen years that Beach was surrounded by alcohol and drugs and hanging out in gangs. It all could have gone very differently if he hadn’t found his culture. SEE YOUTH ON PAGE 3

Community celebrates with a focus on youth FROM PAGE 1 “The Anishinabe spiritual teachings are what give me my strength,” said Beach, sharing his sacred cultural items with the crowd. “I carry them with me wherever I go.” Beach went on to pursue acting, landing his first major role at age 16. He never looked back, going on to star in independent indigenous films (Smoke Signals) and massive Hollywood blockbusters (Cowboys and Aliens). Most recently, Beach starred as Bobby Martin in CBC’s popular series, Arctic Air. “Acting was my way out,” Beach explained. “There is a world out there: challenge yourself and let you passion

motivate you and go seek it out.” Beach is now taking his passion across Canada. His new project, Bandwidth, aims to bring first-run and independent movies to reserves across the country through the concept of ‘pop-up cinema.’ Beach premiered the first theatre two weeks ago in the community of Brokenhead First Nation about 65 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. But there are plans to bring popup theatres to other communities, including Norway House First Nation and back to Bella Coola. “This is something that can bring people together,” Beach said. “And now we have an

opportunity to share more aboriginal films, so we’re basically creating a bigger market for native film. But also, we are now being able to bring the world to these communities.” The Nuxalk community celebrated Beach’s presence with a potluck supper and an evening of cultural celebration and dancing, with a strong focus on honouring the youth. Beach was showered with traditional gifts and honoured with a Nuxalk name: Micmiklh kulhuuts (literal translation: Star Beach). Hundreds of star-struck fans flocked to Beach to get their photo taken or an autograph. Dorothy Pootlass, who spearheaded the

initiative to bring in Beach with her husband, Archie, said she was inspired by his story and felt he could relate to the community. “I was taken in by his ability to accomplish what he was doing,” Pootlass said. “I felt our community would benefit from bringing someone in from outside who is doing something so positive.” Alongside the Nuxalk Nation, Beach’s expenses were heavily sponsored with community donations from Pacific Coastal, the Bella Coola Valley Inn, the Nuxalk Nation, WLDCU, Tru Value, the Hagensborg Shop Easy, Lip’alhayc College, Barton Insurance, and the RCMP.

CFL player JR LaRose inspires local youth with personal tale of triumph By Caitlin thompson In the cutthroat world of professional sports, there are few players who make it. There are even fewer who make it without help, support, stability, family, and the common comforts most of take for granted, like a home cooked meal. “As a kid I would hang out in the food courts in the mall, hoping someone would leave the remainder of their meal behind,” JR LaRose, defensive back for the BC Lions, recalls. “That was my fast food, that was my trip to A&W. I had to survive, I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from.” LaRose, whose mother is Cree from the One Arrow First Nation, grew up on a reservation outside of Edmonton. He never met his father, a Nigerian, who was deported. LaRose’s life was a struggle from day one. His mother, a residential school survivor, struggled with drug addiction her

Davina Hans-Moody meets CFl star JR LaRose entire life. Although she passed away at a young age, LaRose still looks to her for strength, and as a mentor. “My mom Bobbie was a warrior,” said LaRose

“I think I have her warrior spirit. It’s in my blood. She grew up in the first nations’ residential school system. She struggled with drug addiction. Her addiction caught

up to her and wore down her immune system.” Sponsored by the Bella Coola Community Support Society and organized by Melinda Mack, LaRose was brought into Bella Coola for two days as a keynote speaker, telling his story in the schools, participating in a candlelight vigil for the lost children of residential schools, and engaging with the community for an evening at Nuxalk Hall. LaRose is passionate about many things and carries 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. After suffering poverty, sexual abuse and violence, LaRose knew he had to find a way out. A gifted athlete, he knew football held the answer but had to fight every square inch of the way. “I loved hockey but it was too expensive,” he said. “The

great thing about football is that it’s cheap, and I could play.” His hometown team, the Edmonton Eskimos, drafted LaRose at the age of 21. LaRose enjoyed several successful years with the team before a horrific break to his right leg sidelined him for the entire 2009 season. When he came back, the team rejected him, saying he was too old and too high-risk for injury. LaRose didn’t give up, however, and secured himself a spot with the BC Lions in 2010. Things were going

well, and then adversity reared its head once again: LaRose broke the same leg. He was out again. “I wasn’t sure if I could do it again, if I had the strength to come back,” he recounts. “My son, he was four at the time, he came down the stairs and said ‘do it for me daddy,’ and I knew I had to give it another shot.” LaRose did, enduring months of hard rehab, and went on to win the Grey Cup with the Lions in 2011. “As a kid, I never thought of the NFL,” he said. “I grew

up watching [the Eskimos’] Gizmo Williams and Damon Allen. I wanted to win a Cup.” LaRose knows his football days are numbered now, but he remains unfazed by a future without professional sports, revealing that he already is doing consulting work for his nation and plans to continue in that work. “It’s up to you, it’s about the choices you make,” LaRose told the crowd. “I had a dream, I know you do too, and it’s totally possible to make that dream come true.”

Reader draws attention to ‘Parental Alienation Day’ April 25 Dear Editor, On April 25, 2014, communities in Canada, the United States, and around the world will recognize the 8th Annual Parental Alienation Awareness Day, in an effort to help raise awareness of the growing problem of emotional child abuse. Parental Alienation refers to a pattern of behaviors, actions and decisions of a parent, that are intended to create alienation in the relationship between a child and the other parent. It is most apparent in child-custody disputes and is used as

a tool to align the child with one of the parents during litigation over custody. No parent wants to imagine a day when their child would refuse to speak to them. But estrangements between parents and their children, including adult children, are more common than many people think. Alienating Parents are unable to appreciate the needs of their child. In many cases they view their child as a possession. Alienating Parents are often able to bring a reign of terror and revenge onto a noncustodial, or “Target”

parent and their family, the goal being to get the Target Parent out of the child’s life, or at the very least, to severely damage their child’s relationship with the Target Parent. Ongoing Parental Alienation can cause terrible psychological damage to children extending well into adulthood. Simply stated, it is dysfunctional parenting, and emotional child abuse. “A pattern of alienation usually begins without any malicious or conscious intent to harm the relationship between the other parent and the children,” explains Sarvy Emo,

co-founder of Parental Alienation Awareness Day. “Parents are often unaware of how subtle behaviors and comments can hurt the relationship between the children and the Targeted parent. Alienating Parents, however, learn how to manipulate and use their children to purposefully hurt the other parent.” A parent engaging in Parental Alienation may speak disparagingly about his or her ex-spouse in front of the children. He or she may share details of the divorce with the children or refuse to give

the other parent access to medical and school records or extracurricular activity schedules. Other typical alienating behaviors include grilling the children about their visits with the other parent; becoming violent with the other parent in front of the children; and refusing to allow telephone, mail or e-mail communication between the children and the other parent. Denigration of the Target Parent may be subtle: criticism of the way he or she looks, cooks, drives, or it may be as extreme as making serious criminal accusations against

the Target Parent, and may include attacks on the Target Parent using social media. Parental Alienation deprives children of their right to be loved by, and to show love for, both of their parents. The destructive actions by an Alienating Parent can rob the child of their sense of security and safety, leading to maladaptive emotional or psychiatric reactions, ranging from anxiety or eating disorders to addiction, and selfmutilation. We are often reminded that, “it takes a village to raise a child.” As such, Parental

Alienation Awareness Day is designed to help make the general public, judges, police officers, mental health care workers, child protection agencies, lawyers, as well as friends and family of the targeted children or their parents - become aware of Parental Alienation, its causes, symptoms, and its prevention.

“I’ve Been Trained, I Can Do This!” – local teachers receive CPR training By Coleen FRaseR On the recent April17th Professional Development Day six teachers from Sir Alexander Secondary School and Ascwalscta School became CPR/AED instructors for their students. The training was provided by the Advanced Coronary Treatment Foundation (ACT), which is a national charitable organization dedicated to establishing CPR training in highschools across Canada. More than 223 secondary schools in BC are involved in the program throughout the province and approximately 281,000 BC students have been trained to date. With financial support from Astra Zeneca Canada, Pfizer Canada and Sanofi Canada, ACT provided training materials, training mannequins, and an AED training unit. Each school will also receive an AED machine to be used for cardiac arrest emergencies during in-school, extracurricular and on site community activities. BC Emergency Health Services and the BC Ambulance Service are provincial partners in the program. Dr. Michael Smialowski, Cariboo District

Medical Advisor for BC Ambulance was on hand to welcome participants and to acknowledge how important their role is in the health and safety of students and of community members. As a Red Cross community volunteer, a Lifesaving Society First Aid Instructor and the chair of the Central Coast Teachers’ Association’s Professional Development Committee, Coleen Fraser worked with the organizations involved to bring the workshop to Bella Coola. She also volunteered her time to teach the course. She was assisted by Mitch Gurr who has had many years experience as a paramedic and first aid instructor. The trained teachers will now deliver the program to highschool students at SAMS and Ascwalscta. Students will be taught to handle choking and cardiac arrest emergencies. As part of their training they are taught to say, “I’ve been trained. I can do this” This simple self-talk statement empowers students, giving them the selfconfidence to take charge or to help in an emergency. The involvement of a

trained bystander often makes the difference between tragedy and a life saved. Early CPR and early access to an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) are key links in giving a choking or cardiac arrest victim the best chance of survival. According to Heart and Stroke Foundation statistics early CPR combined with early defibrillation can increase survival rates for cardiac arrest victims by up to 75 percent. The Heart and Stroke Foundation also says that almost all cardiac arrest victims (2,000 people in BC each year!) will die without an electric shock to restart their heart. Survival rates fall by seven to ten percent for every minute that passes without defibrillation. In addition to the AED’s that will soon be in place at our two highschools, the Bella Coola Valley will also soon have two public access AED’s made available through another program in which the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation has partnered with the Central Coast Regional District. Have you been trained? Will you be the one to step forward and help in an emergency? Further information about these programs can be found at www.actfoundation.

Acwsalcta Outdoor Education enjoys winter camping trip By GeoFF GeRiCke On March 10 – 12 the Acwsalcta Outdoor Education class spent three days and two nights winter camping in Tweedsmuir Park. From the East Branch parking lot, the group snowshoed into the newly built cabin with all of their gear on their back. The group, which was comprised of students from grade 8-12, used the overnight cabin as home base and everyone was amazed at how nice, warm, and comfortable it was. The students did a

great job jumping into their responsibilities - stoking the fire, melting water, and making meals. After getting acquainted with the area on day one, we ventured off to the ski hill on day two and spent most of the day snowboarding, skiing, or sliding down hill one way or another. The weather was great and the snow was fresh! Despite a few a good crashes, many first timers were able to link a few turns together and feel the wind in their hair…. just before eating a pile of snow. Among all the

action, we also spent some time discussing proper backcountry traveling methods and avalanche safety. After much fun and little sleep, day three came quickly and we packed up and hiked back out to the parking lot to head back to civilization. The trip was a great success and all participants felt challenged, learned some new skills and were excited about winter activities. The Outdoor Education class would like to send a big thanks to Acwsalcta School for supporting the

Kitimat votes ‘no’ to Enbridge pipeline in local plebiscite Files FRom CBC neWs One of the most divisive issues in Kitimat, B.C., in a generation came to a head on April 12 as residents voted ‘no’ against Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline project. The ballot count from Saturday's vote was 1,793 opposed versus 1,278 who supported the multibillion dollar project — a margin of 58.4 per cent to 41.6 per cent. “The people have spoken. That’s what we wanted — it’s a democratic process,” said Mayor Joanne Monaghan in a statement on Sunday. “We’ll be talking about this Monday night at Council, and then we’ll go from there with whatever Council decides.” More than 900 residents voted in advance polls on a question that has split the community. The Northern Gateway pipeline project has divided the community. It promises jobs and money for the town, but residents are worried about the environmental impacts. “Neighbours won’t talk to neighbours,” one local resident told CBC News, “and this is not going to go away for a long time.” But according to others, neighbours were discussing the issue. “What happened in Kitimat was the result of neighbours taking back their power by talking to each other about what’s important to their community, one doorstep at a time,” said Celine Trojand, Director of Organizing at Dogwood Initiative, one of several groups protesting the project. Kitimat is the community most affected by the $6.5-billion project, because as the endpoint for the pipeline bring-

the Haisla First Nation is vehemently opposed to Enbridge and they let the mayor know with a flash mob ing bitumen from Alberta, it would house a marine terminal where the supertankers would load up. The large ships would sail down the narrow Douglas Channel taking the Alberta crude to new markets in Asia. City council, which has so far tried to remain neutral, initiated the plebiscite to take the pulse of the community and has said the town's decision will influence its support for the project. Alberta bitumen would travel down the pipeline to Kitimat where supertankers would take it down the narrow Douglas Channel to new markets in Asia. However, the plebiscite isn’t binding on the federal review panel, which has until June to decide if the Northern Gateway project proceeds.

The people have spoken. That’s what we wanted — it’s a democratic process. We’ll be talking about this Monday night at Council, and then we’ll go from there with whatever Council decides.” - Mayor Joanne Monaghan Despite this, critics say Enbridge has raised the stakes by going on a spending spree with lots of advertising and open houses, prompting complaints the company is trying to buy votes. Murray Minchin with Douglas Channel Watch claims Kitimat has serious concerns about the project's impact. “The people in Kitimat just feel that this proposal is asso-

ciated with way too many risks,” he told CBC News. However, Enbridge's Katherine Coutinho points out the project brings jobs and money to the town. “It’s 188 families that will be impacted by these jobs and as I’ve said $5 million a year in property taxes is significant for local priorities and I think people see the value in that,” she said. The Haisla First

Nation surprised Kitimat’s mayor by showing up to one of her events wearing ‘No Enbridge’ T-Shirts. However, they can’t vote in today's plebiscite. Observers, like Michael Moore with the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, say the vote is especially important for Enbridge. “They need a marker that’s on their side,” says Moore.

“They’ve certainly taken a lot of hits in the media and in the public arena, so they need something that says we really are respecting the rights of the people.” Those working to get the pipeline through say they haven't given up. “Over the coming weeks and months we will continue to reach out and listen to our neighbours and friends so that Northern Gateway can build a lasting legacy for the people of our community,” aid Donny van Dyk, Northern Gateway's Kitimatbased Manager of Coastal Aboriginal and Community Relations. One group Enbridge has not been able to convince so far is the local Haisla First Nation. Dozens surprised Kitimat’s

mayor by wearing ‘No Enbridge’ T-shirts to one of her events. However, most of them don’t live in the town and can’t vote in the plebiscite. Other First Nations have been equally as vocal, saying that Enbridge will never happen in their territory. Many along the pipeline have filed lawsuits against the Joint Review Panel’s recommendation that the line be approved, citing a lack of consultation among other issues. “I am committing myself to doing whatever it takes to stop this project, short of violence,” said Gerald Amos, the former chief of the Haisla Nation. “Myself and quite a few people are prepared to stand on the line and use ourselves to stop things if they send the bulldozers in.”
