Alvin Mack accepts his Lifetime Achievement Award from the BC Achievement Foundation from Chair Keith Mitchell and John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation

Artist selected for prestigious lifetime achievement award BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Ask Alvin Mack to reflect on his life and you will get a very candid tale of hardship, personal struggles and the deep-rooted desire to create meaningful art and from that, a meaningful life. “I left Bella Coola at 17 and I swore I was never coming back,” Mack recalls. “It wasn’t always easy, I had no confidence, no self-esteem or belief in what I was doing.” That statement seems to echo an elusive shadow of Mack’s past. Last week he was presented with the BC Achievement Foundation’s Creative Lifetime Achievement

Award for First Nations’ Art. It is an honour bestowed on individuals who have made a profound contribution to their First Nations' culture. “BC First Nations artists play a significant role in the creative life of British Columbia,” said Foundation Chair Keith Mitchell. “These awards highlight the immense cultural traditions of each recipient.” Over the years Mack has been a teacher and mentor to hundreds of students at Acwsalcta School and the Bella Coola community at large, but he humbly describes himself as a ‘vessel’ for Nuxalk art and culture. “I live

everyday to help our young people, ” he shares. “It’s my ultimate goal.” While Mack was drawn to traditional native art from a very young age, the road to his present career as a renowned carver, teacher and artist was full of ups and downs. Born and raised on Nuxalk territory, Mack’s parents raised him and his four siblings to work hard, respect the land and engage in traditional activities. Despite their own struggles, Mack says what his parents taught him had a profound impact on his style as both an artist and a teacher. “They were both alcoholics;

my dad was a residential school survivor,” said Mack. “I didn’t realize it at the time, but they taught us all to work hard. My dad taught me to set goals and follow them through.” It was his father, Willie Mack, who inspired him to start carving. Although Mack recalls little carving or other art being created in the community at the time, he remembers his father carving totems and creating leatherwork in the living room. He would ask him repeatedly to teach him to carve. “He said sure,” Mack remembers. “And then he chose a goal for us. We entered our work in the Bella Coola Fall Fair; it

must have been in the early 70s. We won first prize in every category we entered.” Mack continued carving and working on his skills until his father’s premature death. At 16 years old he was suddenly left without a father, and he was angry. Art went by the wayside. He quit school and left the community, vowing never to come back. “I got a job logging,” he said. “I lived all over the lower mainland, setting chokers and running a tower. It was tough work, monotonous, and I was drinking. I nearly got killed a number of times.” SEE MACK ON PAGE 3

Mack a teacher and mentor to many in school, community FROM PAGE 1 In a strange twist of fate, Mack took a logging job out of Vancouver that ended up being based in South Bentinck. Like it or not, he was home. “We came in from camp every weekend,” he recalled. “I met up with Harry Schooner and he gave me two carving knives. I also met my wife, Leila, and I started to calm down. I wanted to stop drinking, and all I wanted to do was to go back to making art.” A friend told him about the only school at the time that was dedicated to First Nations Art, the Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art at Ksan in Hazelton. He quit logging to pursue his dream, took his EI funding and headed north. “I applied and got accepted but I really

Upon learning of his endeavors, representatives at home found funding to support him through the second year, and he grad-

uated in 1985 at the Mack returned to Bella Coola eager to share what he’d learned, but underneath it all he still lacked confidence. His sister Sharon, who working at Acwsalcta at the time, encouraged him to start teaching at the school. “I was so fearful because I didn’t have the education, I never graduated from high school,” he shared.

“But I knew I wanted to bring the art back home, so I did it. It was a steady income too, it wasn’t much, but I had a family to raise and it helped.” It was a fellow teacher at Acwsalcta who persuaded Mack to stick with it, helped him get back into sports, and pointed out the valuable teachings Mack had to share with his students.

“He told me that teaching isn’t something that you can be trained to do,” Mack remembers. “You can have a formal education but that’s not enough. He said you have to be born with it, you have to have the gift.” With renewed confidence Mack persevered, going on to complete another twoyear jewelry design program at Vancouver Community College. He returned once again to teach at Acwsalcta, continuing to grow as both and artist and a teacher. Today, there are multiple young carvers and artists that credit Alvin Mack as being their inspiration and mentor, including his sons. A talented and varied artist, Mack carves, working with wood and silver, and he also paints and designs, often working late into

the evening when he returns from his teaching job at the school. Looking at the community today there is little doubt that Nuxalk art is experiencing a resurgence, one Mack likens to a ‘reawakening.’ And it’s gaining international attention. “We were in a sleeping period. Our art was our written language, it holds our culture and identity,” he explained. “I call myself a vessel because, although I may carve a Thunder mask, our ancestors have carved it for 10,000 years. I am just carrying it on.” Despite the unforgiving weather, Mack managed to make it out of Bella Coola last week and drove to Vancouver for the ceremony. It was well worth it. “I really enjoyed it,” Mack shared. “It was an amazing experi-

ence. I got to meet several artists that I really look up to, such as Robert Davidson and Susan Point.” The Honourable John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and British Columbia Achievement Foundation Chair Keith Mitchell presented Mack with his award, which was sponsored by Polygon Homes Ltd. Mack said the number of artists who were familiar with his work and approached him at the event to make his acquaintance surprised him. It also inspired him to work even harder. “A lot of people don’t understand our world here, they don’t have that connection anymore,” said Mack. “Our art enables us to reconnect with our ancestors, and that will carry us further than anyone else.”

Co-op reaches a net profit on operations for the first time since 1998 Press Release The 71st Annual General Meeting of the Bella Coola Consumers’ Cooperative Association was held on November 19 at Lobelco Hall. Thirtyfive interested members, almost half of which were employees, witnessed the presentation of the previous years’ financial reports. For the first time since 1998 the Co-op realized a net profit on operations. Unfortunately the large deficit remaining as a result of the separation from Federated Co-op Ltd. is still preventing the Co-op from distributing patronage to its members. The Board of Directors, represented by Peter Fralick, was able to announce the continuation of a Member’s Reward Program. This year the top 302 purchasing members are being presented with gift cards ranging from

$25 to $200. A total of $13,000 in gift cards are being distributed at a very challenging time of year for the memberowners. With regret, Sandie MacLaurin withdrew from the Board of Directors. The experience and insight Sandie offered, along with her enthusiasm, will be sorely missed. Shirley Willson, Courtney Kirk, and Peter Fralick were elected to the Board. John Breffit was appointed as a Director, and as a result the Co-op has a full slate for the first time in many years. The clarity and ease of the organizations financial reports was the result of another new accounting firm. The Co-op manager, Pete Rauch, expressed his gratitude and pleasure in dealing with the new service provider. “We expect to maintain a long and healthy relationship with Pace Accounting out Vancouver,” said Rauch. “They have

Co-op experience and have already given us a great deal of assistance.” The biggest issue facing the Board continues to be the establishment of an active-inactive member list. Much of the historical data is old and the member rolls have not been properly maintained. Once a member is determined to be inactive their equity can be moved from a deficit position to a contributed surplus status. In the meantime, the Co-op relies upon the support of its member-owners. Local groups and businesses continue to shop in a store they own, and the benefits include the gift card distribution. To maintain these positive results is the challenge of the management and staff. New suppliers and items, like organic produce and meat, offer locals new, approved sources of the products they need and want. As the population of the Valley changes

food choices also change; quantities

change, and access to those desired

items change. The Co-op aims to meet

those needs for another 71 years.

BC Parks Wildlife Viewing Platform misunderstood DEAR EDITOR, I am not on social media nor do I want to enter the quagmire of current discussion around bear/people problems in the lower valley. However, as someone who has been involved with BC Parks wildlife viewing platform within Tweedsmuir Park for four years, I feel compelled to correct some of the information

in the recent on-line survey. The viewing platform is operated from Sept 1 – 30 (not August 15-October 15) and, far from being limited to eight people, the objective is to encourage the bear viewing public to use the platform, rather than wander throughout the Atnarko corridor, endangering their own safety and stressing bears. The scientific

rationale behind the platform has been explained in regular Coast Mountain news articles, notices on community bulletin boards and on the BC Parks website. The April 2014 report referenced in the on-line survey sets out the management direction very clearly. Along much of the Atnarko River, the objective is to maintain bear ‘refugia’ where shy bears can choose to forage

relatively undisturbed by people. Where Hwy #20 gives people ready access to the river, the objective is to increase the predictability of where bears are likely to encounter people - hence, the electricfenced platform. This not only improves safety for people but also reduces (not increases) stress on bears, leaving them the option to forage in these areas – or not.

The on-line survey made frequent use of the term ‘habituated bears’. Bears biologists make a clear distinction between habituated bears (who tolerate the presence of people) and food conditioned bears (who associate food with humans or their infrastructure). Many of the Atnarko bears may be people habituated but they are not food conditioned - and we are all very careful to

ensure they do not become so. We have lived along the Atnarko River for 13 years. While bears wander through our property on a regular basis, never once have we had a ‘bear problem’. Why not? Because we are very careful with all garbage and we manage our compost properly. Professional opinion is clear on this point. The primary factor in bear/people

problems within settled communities is bears being attracted to non-natural food sources, like garbage and unpicked fruit. The most effective way to discourage bears from encroaching on people space is to ensure they don’t have the opportunity to access these nonnatural food sources. Sincerely, Joan Sawicki Stuie

Shop local and support your community this holiday season By Caitlin Thompson Christmas is just around the corner and there is no better excuse to hit up your local businesses. Bella Coola may be small but it packs a pretty mighty retail punch, with specialty shops and artisan gifts you won’t find anywhere else. In addition, spending your money where you live is the best way to create jobs and support the local economy. For Bella Coola, with its limited economy and remote location, this is even more important. “Small businesses create jobs, with retail being one of the largest” said John Morton, owner of Kopas Store. “So it’s important to support your local businesses at Christmas and throughout the year so that we are here when you need us.” According to Industry Canada, small businesses account for more than 98 percent of all firms in Canada and proportionally play a large role in net job creation, creating 77.7 percent of all private jobs from 2002 to 2012. In total, small businesses created a little over 100,000 jobs each year on average. Medium-sized and large businesses, which account for 1.6 percent and 0.1 percent of all firms, respectively, created 12.5 percent and 9.8 percent of net new jobs over the same period, representing about 17,000 and 11,800 jobs each year on average. Bella Coola is unique in that it is home to exclusively locally owned businesses and service organizations. That web of connectedness heightens the fact that we all depend on one another in this community, no matter what time of year. Kopas Store, one of the longest standing businesses in the community, offers a large selection of gift-

ware, clothing, local art and, their specialty – regional book titles. “We have people from out of town who do their Christmas shopping here offseason because they appreciate our selection,” said Morton. “During Christmas we do make a special effort to create a holiday atmosphere.” Also on the townsite you’ll find the bread and butter of our downtown: the Bella Coola Co-op and Townsite Tru Hardware. Both are offering special items and deals for Christmas.

“Purchasing goods and supplies locally provides employment; keeps our dollars in the Valley; and promotes what little economic development we ourselves establish,” said Co-op Manager Peter Rauch. “And if you’re looking for a great stocking stuffer, our new Bella Coola Co-op Gift Cards are perfect.” New owners Sherri and Al Fontaine at Tru Hardware have also made an extra effort to stock up for the Christmas season. In addition to the usual Christmas decorations, lighting, and

holiday accessories, the store is also stocking up on children’s toys and practical gifts for every member of the family. Journey down to Hagensborg and you’ll find Tahrih Goffic’s brand-new coffee and giftware shop, Dragonfly Studios. Also a working art studio, Goffic is carrying local jewelry, art, pottery, prints, and artist-designed clothing in addition to specialty coffees and homemade goodies. Also located on Highway 20 is Kelsey Levelton’s fun and

funky Tse Tse Fly Gift Shop. Levelton’s eclectic mix includes clothing, jewelry, hot sauces, teas and fun novelty items such as ‘poo-pourri.’ “It’s good for our economy and it’s worth it to shop local,” said Levelton. “People need to consider the costs before they leave town. If you factor in hotels, gas, and hotel costs, you are not saving money. And if you can’t find what you need here, just ask. We can likely order it in.” At the airport you’ll find the popular Wildman Café.

Owned by Jen and James Taylor, they are serving up delicious sandwiches, healthy snacks, and specialty coffees. They also carry a great lineup of book titles and unique gifts. Moore’s Organic Market and Nursery is also a great place to stop for locally made gifts and goodies including chocolates, jellies, soaps and bath and body products. The Hagensborg Shop Easy is stocking up on toys for Christmas and carries a wide selection of electronic products for everybody’s tech

needs. The space also hosts the Swan Goose Gallery, which is another place to purchase local art. The Valley is also home to a multitude of talented artisans whose work is available through local galleries such as Creekside Gallery, Petroglyph Gallery and Fire Art Studios, or by contacting the artist directly. So this year, be sure to check out your local options before considering that wild and snowy five-hour drive to the nearest big-box chain store. It’s worth it.

15.8 percent in 1989 to 19.1 percent in 2012. In fact, more children and their families lived in poverty as of 2012 than when we committed to ending child poverty entirely. Of special concern is the fact that in First Nations communities where the federal government has the major role in funding income support and community services, half of status children lives in poverty. That poverty has become more widespread during these past two-plus decades is especially heinous because Canada experienced an unprecedented period of economic growth from 1998 through 2008 and the following economic recession and slow growth period which continues. But that must be mostly in the rest of Canada? We’re doing pretty good in British Columbia. Right? Nope. BC is not doing very well in the child poverty challenge. With a national average level of child poverty in 2012 at 19.1 percent, BC rates more poorly at 20.6 percent. And that was an increase from only 15.5 percent in 1989. Though complex and multi-layered, the challenge of reducing child poverty is not without hope. There are things we can do as a country, and as a province. The recommendations of the 2014 Report Card provide some direction.

We should start by enhancing the Child Benefit for low-income families to a maximum of $5,600 per child, and index that to inflation. Second, we need to create and implement a plan to prevent and reduce child and family poverty in indigenous families. Employment Insurance should also be enhanced to expand access, duration and levels of benefits. We should implement a comprehensive national housing strategy that reflects the needs of local communities starting with reversing the trend of decreasing federal investment in affordable housing. The level of poverty for Canadians, especially among children, is shameful. It was important enough in 1989 for unanimous commitment, but not so much that we have actually slid backwards in the following quarter century. The 2014 Report Card is subtitled “We can fix this,” and we can. But to do so, we need an economy that provides good jobs and decent wages, and to target income transfers to those most in need. We also need to bolster supports to families. If we can do these things, we will improve children’s futures, and improve Canada’s social and economic future. Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Bella Coola.
