Dock Installation at Giga’ak Back in February the idea of putting in docks at Ba’as and Takush was presented as the first step in returning to the Homelands. Refurbished docks were available in Campbell River from DK Industries and discussions showed that substantial savings could be obtained if both docks were done at the same time.

Camping gear, food, and tools for 12 people was purchased by the Treaty Office with funding coming from a Treaty Related Measure. This federal grant money is separate from treaty funding. It is available only because we are in the treaty process – and it doesn't need to be repaid.

Message from the Band Manager (Dylan.W.Thomas) A motion was passed at the weekly council meeting on July 10,2014 that comes in effective immediately: “ moved that council will no longer pay for BC Hydro bills for the Gwa’sala‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations members”

It was decided to instalL at Giga’ak first, so that it would be available for the Canoe Journey.

Treaty Update (continued from front page)

Dock Installation at Giga’ak Wade Charlie was hired to help prepare for the installation and lead the crew of volunteers who were: Blanche Walkus Carol Walkus Thelma George David George Moses Walkus

Clyde Walkus Walter George Kelly Anderson Eli Charlie Solomon Munn

BLESSING CEREMONY: Gwa’sala Elders and Chiefs requested a blessing ceremony be held prior to the dock installation to mark this important milestone in our return to the homeland, as well as to heal some of the hurt from our removal. The Naiad took a mix of Elders, Chiefs, and youth to Giga’ak on the 2nd.. For some it was their first time back since being taken away. The ceremony was very powerful.

Shortly after, our water taxi arrived with the crew of volunteers eager to help prepare for the dock installation. It was great that the youth were able to come and be part of the ceremony and see and learn about this extraordinary place. They will be able to tell future generations living in Giga’ak that they were there the day the first steps were taken to return to our homelands.

Our crew of volunteers started the laborious process of carrying all the food and gear 10 metres up the bank from the landing to the top of the village site. Areas were cleared, tents were raised, and with a food preparation area set up with our new threeburner cook stove a nourishing dinner was prepared for 12 hungry campers!

DOCK LOCATION: The next day more of the village site was cleared and potential dock locations were studied. Everyone kept an eye out for the barge with the dock and materials for a covered cooking/eating building, tent platforms and outhouses. But the barge didn’t arrive and we weren’t able to contact anyone in Tsulquate to find out why. So the next day a number of crew left for home, but as they were leaving the barge arrived! The group was happy to welcome the barge crew onto the site and at high tide the building materials were offloaded. Over the next few days building materials were packed by hand up the steep slope by our dedicated (and strong!) crew.

The best location for the dock was where the old school dock used to be, about 100 metres from the village. But the area where the dock ramp would go ashore was found to be too uneven and heavy equipment was needed to prepare it. Also, the old trail was in rough

shape and would take a lot of work to make it useable for an all terrain vehicle.The barge crew advised that the only suitable location that could be prepared with the materials and equipment available was on the southeast side of Boone Island. The island is only accessible for about half of the tide so a causeway to the village will be built.

Our crew got the landing site leveled, ready for the next high tide when the barge could get in close enough to lift the heavy 10 foot X 16 ft. landing in place. The landing needs to be well placed because the ramp is bolted to it.

While the barge crew offloaded the floats into the water and placed the anchors, our crew was back preparing the camp site. The 16 ft.

X 16 ft. cooking/eating building was the highest priority so we started on that.

further stabilized with concrete. We'll put a roof on the cooking/eating house and shingle it, build at least two tent platforms, dig and build an outhouse, and build the causeway to Boone Island.

The dock for Ba’as was delayed because of weather and is now scheduled for the end of July. We hope that everyone has an exciting time!

Gila’Kasla,

The barge crew were very experienced. By Day 2 they had the landing installed, the floats anchored and bolted together, and the ramp bolted to the landing.

Before they left, we asked the barge crew if they could use their crane to lift the building materials up onto the village site. In no time they'd rigged a block onto a cedar and winched up about 10 loads. Everyone was happy not carrying these sheets of plywood up the hill!

The crew left late on the 7th so we could be home for the canoe journey. The spirit house crew was still hard at it when we left.

In August when the survey crew is staying at Giga’ak the landing site for the ramp will be

---------Reminder---------Hello everyone, Yes, it is that time again; the Good Food Bag has arrived!

This week we’ll focus on using up those vegetables that may be lingering in the fridge and healthy choices for salad dressings.

One of the best ways I’ve been able to create a dinner that is quick and packed full of nutritious ingredients is to make a stir-fry. Stir-fries’ are amazing because you can make it with whatever vegetables you want (or have) and it will typically come out tasting pretty great.

Hope you enjoy! Remember I am always open for feedback and would love to hear from you 

A stir-fry for dinner can be beneficial in many ways; it’s a quick meal, healthy in that it is made from whole foods and fun to make  The benefit we get from whole foods is the whole part of the food, it hasn’t been broken down (refined) into something less or separate parts, it contains all it’s nutrients.

Pair it with brown rice (or quinoa) instead of white rice (which is refined).

Ingredients for the stir-fry:          

1 yam, chopped very small 1 green pepper, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 6-8 mushrooms, chopped 1 cup bean sprouts Add any other vegetable (broccoli, peas, corn, carrots, zucchini, onions etc).

1 tbsp olive oil (substitute: 1 tbsp grape seed oil or coconut oil) Beef, cooked and thinly sliced.

1-2 cloves Garlic, chopped 1 inch piece of fresh ginger chopped finely or grated.



1 cup brown rice (Cook with 2 cups water)

Ingredients for the stir-fry sauce:       

3/4 cup orange juice 1 Tbsp Cornstarch 2 Tbsp low salt soya sauce (or Hoisin sauce) 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce 1 Tbsp Rice vinegar 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp Finely grated orange zest (use the fine side of the cheese grater to get the zest/skin from the orange into fine pieces).

The nice thing about a salad is that is usually complements any dish. You can make this a full meal by topping the salad with meat like chicken or fish.

There are many benefits to making your own salad dressing such as it contains much less preservatives, no artificial flavors and oils that are healthier choices. This helps you to increase the nutritional benefits of the foods you eat.

Try making the homemade salad dressing and see how simple ingredients can make amazing flavors.

Ingredients for the salad:

To prepare: 1. Cut the beef into small strips and cook.

2. Put the rice on to cook.

3. Mix all ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl and set aside.

4. Cut the vegetables into bite size pieces.

Leave the bean sprouts out until the stirfry is almost done cooking. Cut the yams smaller or else they won’t cook through.

5. Add olive oil, garlic, ginger and vegetables to pan and cook on medium until vegetables are almost done.

6. Add sauce and bean sprouts to the vegetables. Stir frequently until vegetables are cooked.

7. Serve over rice.

Side Dish: Citrus Beet Salad

 1-2 medium size beets cooked and sliced.  ½ red onion, thinly sliced  ¼ cup pumpkin seeds  Lettuce  Crumbled cheese (goat, feta, parmesan)  1-2 oranges peeled and broken apart.

Ingredients for the dressing:     

2 tbsp orange juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp brown sugar or 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

To prepare: 1. Wash beets and cook until soft, let cool and cut into bite size pieces 2. Mix the ingredients for the salad dressing into a small bowl, set aside.

3. Place lettuce in a large bowl and top with onions, oranges, seeds and cheese.

I wanted to share something that I enjoy both when I am at home and out on the west coast camping. Sipping on a wild flower tea seems to make the world of difference with how I feel, picking me up when I am sick, soothing when a need to relax or providing energy when I am down. No matter how I feel, I can’t help but smile when I take my first sip of the tea. ~Things to remember~ 1. Always know your plants! Picking the wrong plant that is not edible is never worth it. Some plants are poisonous and can make you very sick or worse could cause death. If anyone is interested I am willing to teach people   michellehelenebeaulieu@hotmail.com 2. Choose your locations to pick the plants.

Pick in areas free of pollutants and off areas where people walk their dogs to avoid dog pee.

3. Pick only what you need. Make sure to not pick everything in sight, leave some for other people and the animals that depend on the plants.

4. Collecting and storing so the plants won’t go bad before you get home. Collect plants that are dry, not wet from the morning dew or rain. Collect in a breathable bag or basket so if it’s hot out they won’t wilt as fast. If you would like to save the flowers for later, hang to dry in a cool dark spot or use right away. ~Examples of Plants that are great in a tea~ Each plant has different nutritional and medicinal properties, try combinations that complement each other medicinally and/or make up your own flavor. There are lots of plants that can make a beneficial tea but here are a few to get you started.   

PAGE 9

Berries (salmonberry, huckleberry, blackberry, currants, thimbleberry, blueberry etc).

Red Clover (flower and leaves) Wild Rose (flowers, leaves, hips)

GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS

    

Yarrow (flowers and leaves) Labrador Tea (leaves) Wild Mint (flowers and leaves) Licorice Fern (root) Fireweed (flowers and leaves)

~How do I make a Wild Flower Tea~ It’s easy and rewarding! Collect the plants, place in water, heat to a simmer (never boil), let steep for 10-20 minutes. Poor in your favorite cup and savor the experience.

If anyone has a favorite wild flower tea or other knowledge they would like to share with me, please send me an email, call, or come find me at the Band Office/Community Garden.

--Have fun! Michelle 
