The entire cast of Rapunzel did an incredible job, including the littlest "fun guy"
Missoula Children’s Theatre puts on delightful performance of “Rapunzel” Valley students were granted a very special opportunity last week when Missoula Children’s Theatre visited Bella Coola and put together an amazing performance of “Rapunzel,” complete with puns intended. Missoula Children’s Theatre is the brainchild of Jim Caron and Don Collins, who met in the early 70s and began the tradition of casting children in the local communities.
The idea for a traveling theatre production was born, and since then MCT has grown to include International Tours, Community Theatre, and Summer Day Camps. The format for their productions is daunting but somehow they pull it off! Two actor-directors (in this case Shelby Art and Tatjiana Moffitt) are responsible for the entire production from start to finish, auditioning,
prepping and rehearsing with the cast of dozens of students in only four days! The results are astonishing and Bella Coola was no different. Roles ranged from mushrooms to bears, billy goats to trolls, ogres to wood fairies, goblins to unicorns, ears of corn and the hilarious potato, right down to Rapunzel and her (somewhat confused) Prince. It was a lively show full
of jokes, singing, and funny twists. The main roles of Rapunzel and the Prince were played by SAMS students Faith Fontaine and Aodhan Cearnaigh, and both of these performers did a wonderful job. The students did an excellent job after spending only four days rehearsing, and an especially long day on Saturday at the theatre. The camaraderie was evident backstage as the entire cast
supported one another and helped learn lines, tackle stage fright, and participated in every aspect of the production. Two performances were offered to the community on Saturday night at Lobelco Hall and the reviews were excellent. A big thank you to SAMS music teacher Caroline Johnson for playing the piano, and the BCE and SAMS PAC and SD 49 for sponsoring this production.

Tsilhqot’in leaders take aim at 2015 grizzly hunt BY MONICA LAMBYORSKI Williams Lake Tribune According to an article and video produced by the Vancouver Observer and circulated by the Tsilhqot’in National Government Friday, the Nation said it does not support trophy hunting for grizzlies in their traditional territory. In a video interview, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William said he was surprised by the government’s decision to open up grizzly hunts in the Chilcotin and that they have many concerns surrounding the decision. “In our culture (the grizzly hunt) just doesn’t make sense. They live on the land with us … so now you open up for a grizzly hunt — that’s a big concern. We don’t feel that the government has really made an informed decision.” A Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations spokesperson said Monday the Cariboo hunt was re-opened because grizzly population information and trends indicated that
a limited hunt was sustainable. For 2015, grizzly hunting limited entry hunting allocations were increased from three to nine. “The principles behind the ministry’s decisions are: a scientifically informed population estimate; estimates of sustainable human-caused mortality rates; and deliberately conservative mortality limits, “ Greig Bethel said. “Ministry biologists determine the number of authorizations to be issued based on fiveyear allowable annual harvest, and success rates.” However, Bethel noted as a result of the Supreme Court of Canada Decision, Tsilhqot’in Title Lands are not publicly available for hunting, angling or trapping at this time. “The Tsilhqot’in National Government and Xeni Gwet’in have provided conditional consent for registered guides to carry out hunting on Aboriginal Title Land for the 2015 season,” Bethel said emphasizing the Tsilhqot’in Title Lands are not within the management units that were re-opened for an LEH grizzly bear
hunt in 2014. William said the Tsilhqot’in consider the grizzly sacred and will only kill a grizzly for ceremonial or safety purposes, and in that case they will eat the meat. Bethel said consultation with the Tsilhqot’in was conducted on all proposed 2014 Cariboo Region hunting regulations including the grizzly bear hunt. “First Nations food, social, and ceremonial rights are provided for prior to any issuance of opportunities for either resident hunters or guide outfitters,” Bethel noted, adding for area management zone 5-05, one grizzly hunt authorization was issued and for area 5-06, two authorizations were issued, however, no grizzly bears were harvested in either unit. Grizzly bear hunting in the southwest Chilcotin is being managed conservatively, Bethel said. “If hunting or other grizzly mortality exceeds acceptable mortality limits, the hunt can be reduced or even completely closed.” Tsilhqo'tin leaders have declared the grizzly hunt illegal in their territory

Black Umfolosi brings authentic “gumboot dance” from Zimbabwe to Bella Coola This year the Bella Coola Music Festival is so proud to present acclaimed international performing arts group Black Umolofsi. Black Umfolosi is a self taught Acappella (Imbube) singing and traditional dance group that was formed in 1982 by the then school age members who wanted to develop themselves and contribute to their community. Specializing in imbube music, gumboot dance and Zulu dance, Black Umfolosi has toured extensively nationally and internationally –Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. They have represented Zimbabwe at international events such as Expo 1992 in Seville, Spain and the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada. They are particularly famous for their “gumboot dance.” Gumboot dancing comes from South

ed from their families and forced to work in harsh conditions. The gold mines they worked in were completely dark and flooded. The flooding caused skin breakdown like ulcers and several diseases. Not only was their work environment harsh, but so was the rules or guidelines. Workers were chained to their workstations with shackles and not allowed to speak to one another while working months at a time. Many workers were killed during this work by accidents, while others were beaten and abused. The flooding became a big problem because so many workers were getting ill. The bosses

decided to take the cheaper route in dealing with the problem, so instead of draining the water they bought the workers rubber gumboots to prevent skin breakdown. The workers uniform consists of hardhats, bandannas, jeans/overalls, and gumboots. With this uniform, the workers were not able to show their ethnic identity or carry on their traditions with their clothing, so they turned to another form of expression. The workers began to express themselves by making rhythms and beats with their bodies, gumboots, and chains. They made the noises by slapping their boots, stomping their feet,
and rattling their shackles. Not only did this express their ethnic identity by using their traditional songs and rhythms, but it helped them communicate in the workplace. The workplace was very dark and they were not able to speak to one another, so this was the only way to communicate with the other workers. Gumboot dancing started to spread outside of the gold mines and into the communities as a form of entertainment. As the dance became popular, the employers took the dancers and formed troupes to represent their company. They had the troupes perform to visitors and spread

the good word about their company, but most of the performances were done in the workers own language. This allowed the dancers to express how they really felt by mocking their employers to their face and them not even knowing it. These performances lead to popularizing this style of dance to where it is performed worldwide today. This dance today is used to show the history of South Africa and as any form of dance, this style has been adapted to many new modern forms of dancing. We are so fortunate to have this group perform at our very own Bella Coola Music Festival on July 18 & 19, 2015!

Historian looking for Bella Coola’s Norwegian descendants for new book Historian Fredrik Larsen Lund will be visiting Bella Coola to research for his new book "Norwegian Outposts"
BY CAITLIN THOMPSON A Norwegian historian will be visiting the Valley from May 26 – 30 and is interested in connecting with locals of Norwegian ancestry for his new book “Norwegian Outposts.” Fredrik Larsen Lund, a historian and author from Oslo, works for the Norwegian Archives and is also a former journalist. His book will focus on the small places around the globe where Norwegian migrants have settled throughout history. On his trip he will be making a special effort to connect with people living in the Bella Coola Valley who are descendants of the Norwegian settlers, and those who may have information on the Norwegian history of Bella Coola. “I am interested in getting in touch with anyone else who may have material relating to the Norwegians, such as diaries, let-

Conservation Officers kill grizzly responsible for killing steers in Firvale BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Two Conservation Officers from Williams Lake came down to Bella Coola last week after a large male grizzly killed two young steers in Firvale. The steers belonged to longtime Bella Coola Valley locals and farmers, Richard and Rose Blewett. Rose said she has seen many a grizzly in her fields over the thirty plus years they have been there, but this was the first time they had lost any cattle. “The bear killed both of them overnight, he just tore their faces off,” Rose recounted. “In all these years, we have never lost any cattle to bears.” The COS set snares for the animal when they arrived the following morning but what happened next was interesting. “The officers were able to observe the bear and he was defi-
nitely wary of the snares, which was unusual,” said CO Len Butler. “We’re not sure if he’d been trapped before but he was not going near them.” Butler said that once the bear returned to the site of the kill the officers were able to dispatch him. “It was a large male grizzly that woke up hungry,” Butler confirmed. “We’re confident it’s the same bear that killed the steers.” The Blewetts had been raising the steers as meat cattle for the winter. They were the only two they had. “After the flood we couldn’t cut hay,” Rose explained. “So we had been raising these two animals for food. However, I’m hopeful we will be compensated for them.” If anyone has concerns with grizzly bears or other wildlife, please call the RAPP Line - Conservation Officer Service toll free at 1-877-9527277.
