Nuxalk carver Alvin Mack explains the "Transformation of Smaoan" story depicted on a yellow cedar talking pole. Nanaimo visitors Tom Bates, Harry Hill, Lorraine Bates and Lorraine Hill (left to right) were among a number of tourists attending the August 19 Artists Exhibition on the lawn at Copper Sun Gallery (housed in the former RCMP station on the Townsite). The exhibition, the first of its kind ever in Bella Coola, exceeded the planners' expectations, and similar events are being considered for next summer.

Copper Sun Gallery Hosts “First-Ever” Nuxalk Artists Exhibition BY 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 “firstever” Nuxalk Artists’ Exhibition. Copper Sun Journeys and Gallery opened in the former RCMP station in June as the firstever gallery operated by the Nuxalk community under the auspices of the Nuxalk Development Corporation (NDC). And according to carver and jewelry engraver Alvin Mack, the August
19 exhibition is the first time ever that a group of Nuxalk artists and crafters have brought their creations and creativity together in a public showing. “This has never happened 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 others, carvers Lyle Mack, Reuben Mack, Sesyaz Saunders, and Clyde
Young, along with painter 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 gathering 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 performing both by Nuxalk performers 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 summer. 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,” noting 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 experience while providing an opportunity for the management 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 together so that people have a chance to see how this art is created and hear the stories that accompany it.” Now that the two summer students, Danika Nolie and Carrigan Tallio, have departed for their studies, hours at Copper Sun will be reduced to Tuesday through Saturday and by appointment.

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.

Copper Sun and Bella Coola Tourism enjoyed successful season FROM PAGE 1 Plans for Copper Sun now include developing a webbased marketing strategy for Nuxalk art. Hart hopes Copper Sun will be able to retain the space after the current lease concludes Oct. 31 so that the Gallery can open by appointment throughout the winter. 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 expectations,” and he’s especially pleased with the collaboration between Copper Sun Journeys and the large Valley tour-
ist accommodators who booked their Petroglyph Tours through Copper Sun. Commenting on the summer collaboration between Copper Sun and
Bella Coola Valley Tourism, BCVT President Doug Baker says the arrangement “certainly met our expectations.” He hopes a similar arrangement
will be possible in the 2016 tourist season. The central location on the Townsite was a “good change” from the previous Hagensborg venue,
and being able to share responsibilities with the Copper Sun staff enabled the Visitor Information Booth to be open 10 hours nearly every day this summer.

Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform re-opens September 1 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 surrounded by an electric fence supported by a cedar-railed fence. Members of the Nuxalk Nation will again participate in staffing the Platform, which will provide visitors with additional opportunities to learn about the cultural significance of this area to the Nuxalkmc people. This year, visi-
tors will notice several infrastructural improvements, including 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 backgrounder states that, “The Atnarko/
Highway 20 corridor of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is an area of excellent 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 endanger bears, ourselves or other visitors and residents of the park. The main objective of the Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform is to increase the predictability 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 provides 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 encouraged to use the Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform rather than other areas along the river corridor.”

Reader 'proud of efforts' of local businesses, organizations Dear Editor, Thank you to the Copper Sun Gallery for showing Nuxalk
artists and their work and songs and stories. I really appreciated all of it. I just
hope you will be open the middle of September when my relatives are visiting. 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 Sheppard

20-Year Ista Reunion scheduled for September 27; pole to be raised onsite on September 28 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 eyelashes of the sun, and wrapped in a blanket covered in abalone, danced from mountaintop 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 divisions 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 experience delivered to the Nuxalk people. “I went out as a member of band
T-shirt - Design signifying 20 Years since Ista council and came back a hereditary chief,” said Deric Snow, also known as Yulum. “ We found ourselves spiritually.” 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 cultural 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 happens, 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 forever, I came back a different 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 considered 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 environmental 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 generations, and proved to be a catalyst for the Nation on asserting their sovereignty. “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 protect 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 residential 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

Police presence was heavy on King Island intended to represent the smayusta (creation story) of Ista and reaffirm 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 welcome. “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.”

Community bids farewell to long-time residents Ed and Margaret Nash BY ERNEST HALL A respectful and admiring group of family and friends gathered at Mountain View Lodge recently to bid farewell to two Bella Coola Valley community 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 children in Bella Coola in 1968 when Ed took a teaching position at Sir Alexander Mackenzie School (SAMS) where his focus was on teaching math and science. Milica Epp, organizer of the Farewell Tea and a former teacher herself, told the gathering 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 vacation 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 colleague 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 teachers and mentors: Bob
Loosmore “who was always Bob Loosmore,” the “flamboyant” Derek Best, and the “steady and methodical” Ed Nash. Responding to the accolades about his career at SAMS, Ed waxed philosophical, 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 community service work that “when you serve, you find you get some-
thing back.” And serve the community 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 “excellent, efficient” and “a dedicated, inspiring volunteer”, noting that even after failing health prevented her attending meetings, she continued to phone community supporters for donations. Margaret Brekke described her as an “energetic and dedicated” 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 volunteered 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 healthrelated 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 acquiring 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 players, and Ed became well known for his retirement hobby: handcrafting 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 driving “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 organized by Milica Epp, Paula Fralick, Barb Gilbert, Maryanne Gurr, Connie Nygaard, Susan Osmers, Dianne Tuck, and June.

Back-to-school on September 8 - tips for a smooth transition 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
The countdown is on! School begins on September 8
for backpacks, lunch kits,shoes, jackets and school assignments. This will help keep your child organized 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 routine. Get your children in the habit of choosing 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 comfortable attending a new school. Help your children locate classrooms and key areas such as the gym, library and cafeteria 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 children’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 classrooms, the gym, cafeteria and library so they will feel more comfortable on their first day. Ask your teenagers to review their schedules and make an appointment with a school counsellor if they are concerned about possible conflicts or mistakes. Post your child’s schedule of assignments in a central place and include dates of exams and other activities.
THANK YOU
The 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 memories 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 sincerely appreciates the kind words from so many in this unfortunate event.

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

Bella Coola RCMP warn against scam phone calls On August 19, 2015 the Bella Coola RCMP received reports from individuals within the Bella Coola Valley who receive telephone calls from a person identifying themselves as an Officer. During the conversation the person states that a warrant for arrest had been issued and unless banking 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 members of the RCMP will not call requesting banking information. Calls of this manner should be immediately reported to the Bella Coola RCMP at 250-7995363 or in person at 1108 Burke Avenue, Bella Coola, BC.

Horse-traveler on his way to Bella Coola Harking back to the days of old, Mick Grabowsky is travelling the Cariboo-Chilcotin by horse and pack train.
BY MONICA LAMBYORSKI 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 hospitality 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
Liz Twan photo 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-
25 Years Ago in the
Thursday, August 9, 1990
Lifeguards were the popular front cover darlings of the August 9, 1990 edition of the Coast Mountain News. Two pools served the Valley - Centennial and Nuhawhawta. The lifeguards at Centennial were Kelly Casey, Dallas Beaven, Julie Nygaard and Ocean Dionne - and at Nuhawhawta - Anthony Hans, Thomas Tallio and Dallas Pootlass.
back, Grabowsky said: “I could sit in a rocking 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 somewhere 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, talking 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.”
