The racism that I have encountered is something that I see even today. — Carol Daniels

F I R S T N AT I O N S

Daniels’ new book inspired by 1960s Scoop

By Ashley Martin When Carol Daniels was four years old, or maybe five, she tried to scrub the brown off of her skin. She scoured until she bled, but the brown remained.

She’d been adopted as a baby by a white family. She was the only First Nations person she knew, growing up in a farming town southeast of Regina. As long as she can remember, it was ingrained that brown was bad. She learned it through every mention of “dirty, greasy Indians.”

She understood it each of the hundreds of times her classmates tried to beat her up because she was dif different.

Eight hundred kilometres north, in Sandy Bay, there was a family who looked like Daniels. She would have been among them, if not for the fact that her mother, Maggie Morin, had given birth in Regina in 1963.

She’d had the misfortune of going into early labour, is the guess.

The circumstances are unclear — Maggie died when Carol was 12, hit by a logging truck on a treacherous northern Saskatchewan road.

An unwed aboriginal woman giving birth in the city, she was doomed to leave the hospital without her daughter.

And so the Morin baby was placed with a white family. More than 20,000 First Nations babies like her made up a stolen generation as part of the 1960s Scoop.

“I was just a number. There were thousands of little brown kids, like we were stray dogs or something,” said Daniels. “They took us all away but they didn’t have anything to do with us; they didn’t know where to put us.”

The experience inspired Daniels’ first novel, Bearskin Diary, which is set for release next month. It’s not entirely autobiographical, but it reflects her own experience.

She opted not to write a memoir because Daniels had her fill of non-

media were few and far between; aboriginal people were even fewer.

“The racism that I have encountered is something that I see even today,” said Daniels. “These are situations and problems that need to be addressed in society in general. So with the novel I’m bringing it up. (If)

it’s not polite, I don’t care.”

■ ■ ■ ■ There’s a black and white photo dated Christmas 1963. Six-month-old Carol is in the centre of the sofa with two white children on either side of her.

“It’s a bothersome photo. It’s like, one of these things is not like the other,” she remarked.

The father of the household was a “hero” to his adopted daughter, “the one who’d always save me,” but working long hours, he wasn’t always around.

(Allen Sapp) was so happy to see me, he started speaking Cree immediately. I didn’t understand a word he said.

— Daniels

When Daniels’ classmates inflicted “horrendous bullying and namecalling and beatings,” her siblings didn’t intervene to help, she said.

“I was the only brown kid around, so it was terrible,” said Daniels.

She was victimized for being aboriginal, but was a “white girl” on the inside.

An interview with artist Allen Sapp changed that.

Daniels was 25 when she visited Sapp’s North Battleford gallery and Red Pheasant home for a CBC Saskatoon documentary. She wasn’t what he expected. With her adopted name, she said, he was expecting a white woman.

“When I showed up, here’s this little brown face,” said Daniels, herself a visual artist. “He was so happy to see me, he started speaking Cree immediately. I didn’t understand a word he said.”

He realized she was one of the Scoop children, and spent the rest of their time together educating her about First Nations culture: “ ‘Here, this is for you, Carol; you need to know that this is who we really are,’ ” he told her. “ ‘You need to learn.’ And that’s all he said, and it changed everything from there.”

Daniels started going out of her way to meet First Nations people.

Calgary Herald columnist Richard Wagamese introduced her to an elder. She discovered drumming through a weekend assignment in Banff, where Six Nations Women Singers’ Sadie Buck encouraged her to try it.

Her first powwow, at Tsuu T’ina near Bragg Creek, was a daunting and scary prospect because “the thought of being in a place where there were thousands of other brown faces, it was like, ‘Oh, they’re awful people,’ that’s what I’d been told.”

But when she got there, “I just started crying because it was so beautiful, and it’s like, why have I not been doing this all of my life?” she said, dabbing away the tears at the memory.

Daniels’ ultimate historical reclamation came upon meeting her biological family in 1994, after the provincial government had opened

its adoption records. She had requested a meeting if her family was looking for her; they had done the same.

She had the same hesitation about meeting her family as she’d had before the powwow: “I do remember being worried that they’d be horrible people, because that’s what I’d been told about First Nations people in general.

“We ate moose meat and I was terrified.”

Her worry was unfounded.

Daniels doesn’t entertain the fantasy of what might have been if she’d been born in Sandy Bay. “I would have grown up with my family. I can’t really think about that, because it kind of breaks my heart.

If you met my family, you would know why.”

After meeting them, she changed her last name to Morin. As she more strongly grasped her heritage, there grew a rift in her relationship with her adoptive family.

“It was weird; it was like the closer I came to my own culture, the further I went away from them.”

She cut ties with her adoptive family in 2012, after she and husband Lyle Daniels were married by an elder in a traditional ceremony at The Artesian in Regina.

No one from her adoptive family attended.

As a five-year-old, Daniels discovered storytelling.

She and her dog wended and pretended their way through high grass fields on a play safari, mimicking the black people she saw in her dad’s National Geographic magazines. Those pictures were her first clue of other non-white people in the world. She would tell her family the stories of their adventures.

At 15, she wanted to be a writer.

When she expressed her wish, adults scoffed and told her she would starve. Not wanting to pursue the traditional careers of 1970s women (teaching, nursing), Daniels decided to become a journalist — a field replete with “middle-aged white men.”

How can you not love meeting people who are amazing and proud of where they’re from, wherever that may be?

— Daniels

In Grade 11, she “apprenticed” as a volunteer at CKCK radio, working with reel-to-reel recorders and record players and splicing tape with a razor. She wrote and practised voice work.

After Grade 12, when she served as editor of her high school newspaper, she spent two years at SAIT in Calgary for the cinema/television/ stage/radio course.

Post-school and back in Regina, she worked as a producer at CKRM radio. By 19, she was a weekend anchor at CKTV. In 1989, when CBC Newsworld launched, Daniels spent a year hosting This Country; she was the first aboriginal person to anchor a national broadcast in Canada.

Journalism took her across the country, and to Yellowknife, N.W.T., where she lived for eight years before homesickness drove her back to Saskatchewan with her three children — Jackson, now almost 20, and twins Danny and Nahanni, now 18.

Daniels loved watching people create — a football coach inspiring strength in his students, an old woman teaching children to make jam; interviewing “people who build” was her favourite part of reporting.

“How can you not love meeting people who are amazing and proud of where they’re from, wherever that may be?”

After embracing her heritage, Daniels tried to cover stories that reflected First Nations culture and people as beautiful, strong and knowledgeable — “the way we are.”

In her estimation, media are not doing well at reporting on aboriginal issues.

“They don’t know a damn thing about us,” she said.

That’s in part due to the lack of First Nations people working in newsrooms, as editors and decision makers. The Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix each have one First Nations journalist. At local TV stations, there are a handful of aboriginal reporters.

You can’t put perspective into stories, said Daniels, “if you have no idea what’s going on or what has gone on.”

In 2011, 15.6 per cent of Saskatchewan people were aboriginal. That is projected to at least double in the next 30 years.

Given the demographics, newsrooms “should be representative of the population,” said Daniels. “That’s just good business, for God’s sake.

“Hopefully that’s something that’ll be changed before I’m 80.”

■ ■

Daniels experienced “a lot of rotten crap” as an aboriginal woman starting in journalism in the 1980s.

Carol Daniels with her children (from left) Jackson, Nahanni and Danny, and husband Lyle.

“‘Who gives a s--- what some old Indian thinks, anyway?’” she once heard in a story meeting.

“I have been told, ‘You’ll never get a job because nobody wants to watch an Indian on TV,’ and, ‘You’ll never be one of us; it doesn’t matter if you’re working here.’ I’ve heard it all,” said Daniels, who was honoured for her work in the media in 2009 with a National Aboriginal Achievement Award (now called the Indspire Awards).

“It wasn’t easy at all but you have to be determined. If something is hard, then it’s hard, but you do it anyway.”

And if someone doesn’t like it?

“If you’re not going to like me because my skin is brown, then you’re the one who’s losing out.”

Daniels today works as a visual artist and

as a performer, drumming and singing in Cree. (She also acts — she has appeared in a variety of TV shows and films, including The Edge with Anthony Hopkins — and her play Words of Luv premiered at the Regina Fringe Festival this summer.)

In certain situations, “I’ll walk in and I’ll immediately identify racism. It’s like an energy you can feel.”

But that doesn’t last long.

“I start doing my thing and we come together in song and in joy,” said Daniels. “By the time I leave there, we’re neighbours and friends and that’s the way we need to regard each other.”

She says her children did not experience racism as she did growing up — in part because they had a strong mother, but also because they spent their formative years in Yel-

lowknife, in a province where more than half the population is aboriginal.

“The premier was Dene, the woman on television was their mom, the deputy premier was a Cree.” It was encouraging. In Saskatchewan, five of 58 members of the Legislative Assembly are aboriginal.

In 2011, Daniels ran provincially for the NDP in the Moosomin riding, through which she met her husband, Lyle, who works for the Saskatchewan Building Trades Council.

She wasn’t elected — it was a long shot in a riding the NDP has never won — but she succeeded in her goal of encouraging First Nations people to vote. She won a couple of polls among the area reserves.

“We can make a huge difference,” and she hopes that’s the case in the federal election Oct. 19.

It’s so precious now to be able to say OK, I’m allowed to dance at a powwow and I’m learning to speak my language.

— Daniels

“The thing is, if we vote out those people who hate us, then we won’t have to pick up a protest sign after the fact. Just get them out of there and have somebody who’s committed to saying, ‘All right, we do need to move forward. We do need real change.’ ” A lot of that needs to happen is on an individual basis, said Daniels, by each person embracing their culture.

For Scoop kids like her, who grew up being ashamed of who they are, “If you really get to know our traditions and our people and our languages, it’s going to allow you to grow in a really beautiful way and in some way undo the things that have been done.

“It’s so precious now to be able to say OK, I’m allowed to dance at a powwow and I’m learning to speak my language,” added Daniels, who is working to be fluent in Cree by 2017.

Carol Daniels teaches First Nations cultural workshops to children.

5*,- 8";*, 5%,*37

“I’m not fluent; my kids are not fluent; my grandkids are going to be fluent.”

But it’s not enough for First Nations people to engage in their cultural traditions. Daniels says everybody should experience First Nations traditions, culture and language, to foster understanding.

“I want people to come home and learn who we are and that way get stronger and start building our own families and communities and extending this friendship.

“We all want the same thing for our kids. We want strong communities that provide opportunities, we want healthy foods, we want basic education. We’re friends and neighbours.

We have to start looking at each other that way. Maybe that’s one simplistic area to start but it’s a good one.” amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

Now the time to plant Alliums

By Allan Daku You need a vivid imagination to perceive the lowly onion (Allium cepa), the odorous garlic (A. sativum) or even common chives (A. schoenoprasum) as particularly ornamental, yet with more than 400 species scattered around the world, the genus Allium provides dozens of plants which are not only extremely ornamental but have proven hardy on the Canadian Prairies. The time to plant is now.

There is no mistaking that these plants are members of the onion family. Bruise a leaf and the characteristic smell is there. But the flip side is that the flowers of many of these species are indeed quite fragrant. And if you could ask any honeybee, it would tell you that Allium nectar is irresistible.

One common characteristic that many of these ornamental onions share is the development of bulbs as a storage organ for food and water.

Typically, they produce a rosette of leaves early in the growing season, followed by flowering stems. Once flowers begin to open, their leaves dry and fall off and by mid-July only flower stalks and seed heads remain.

This growth habit evolved in dessert species to take advantage of early spring moisture, escaping heat and drought through dormancy by late summer. Bulbous alliums are often over-planted with low annuals or perennial groundcovers. Rhizomatous ornamental onions, such as chives, maintain green foliage throughout the summer.

Their care is undemanding: good drainage and full sun. They thrive

with a minimum of moisture. Some of these ornamental onions are both promiscuous and prolific. Deadheading (removing the flower heads before they go to seed) is critical to prevent their sometimes rampant spread.

Many lack common names but are available through garden centres and mail order catalogues by their Latin or botanical names. It might sound like a mouthful at first, but taking note of these will get you what you want.

Shorter alliums for the rock garden or front of the border: Two yellow-flowered species (20-45 cm tall) are A. moly — a rich yellow with up-facing flowers — and A. flavum — a paler yellow with an airy more star-burst appearance. ‘Jeannine,’ a selection of A. moly produc-

Savings Extended There simply has never been a better er

es flower umbels twice the size of the species. A strain of A. flavum called ‘Fireworks’ is a mix of rose, yellow, white and purplish-pink. Within the same height range is A. oreophilum (a.k.a. A. ostrowskianum), a lovely apple-blossom pink with up-facing flowers. A. cernuum, native to North America, is a similar shade of pink, but with nodding flower heads. Put A. karataviense in a conspicuous spot. Low with large 12 cm flower heads, it has two or three very wide ornamental leaves that hug the ground in a couple of tight spirals.

While the flowers of this species are typically a very pale pink, those of ‘Ivory Cream’ are a creamy white.

Mid-border Alliums: A. caeruleum (also listed as A. azureum) is somewhat taller with intense true blue flowers, a colour quite uncommon among the onions.

A sphaerocephalum is noted for its

tight head of red-purple flowers in mid-summer. The flower heads dry well, retaining their true colour.

This species also prefers abundant summer moisture, unlike many of its relatives that much prefer a summer dry down. A. aflatunese and its variety ‘Purple Sensation’ are a little taller (60-75 cm) and bloom a little later in late June or July with large (8-10 cm) rose-purple flower heads.

Grilled cheese sandwich cubes top soup

By Renee Kohlman Over dinner a while back, the conversation turned to guilty pleasures, of the food variety. I was sitting with other food writers, so it was a little dicey ... do I tell them the truth? Do I tell them what has, on occasion, brought me great joy and comfort?

Do I spill the beans about my fondness for ... Cheez Whiz?

I did and no one shunned me for the rest of the night, as everyone else listed something sinfully similar. But it’s true. A jar of the orange stuff has been known to find its way into my fridge every couple of years.

But before you lose all respect for me, be assured that the only way I eat it is on hot, heavily buttered toast, as a bedtime snack while I’m in my pajamas and slippers and something trashy is on the television.

There is something about this cheesey toast that makes me happy — it was a favourite when I was a kid and my mom would even pack it in my brown­bagged lunch, where it was devoured in the noisy lunchroom at noon. Maybe I like that it takes me back to simpler days, when my glasses were big and I had a crush on Scott Baio; when I would rush home from school and watch Little House on the Prairie, then afterwards join my siblings around the dinner table, where we’d dish the details of our day and my mom would dish out hot, delicious food. Those days are so long ago, but somehow a little processed cheese takes me back there.

The best partner ever for cheesey toast is tomato soup and as the temperatures have been sliding, I would say it’s officially soup weather. I put the last of my San Marzanos on pans, with hunks of garlic and onion, sprigs of thyme, coarse salt, pepper and gave it a heavy handed drizzle with olive oil. The concoction roasted away for 40 minutes or so, and my house smelled glorious.

When nice and soft and a little charred, the tomatoes were scooped into a pot and simmered with a bit of butter and broth. Use an immersion

blender to puree soup until smooth, then you can strain out the seeds and skins through a fine mesh sieve or just eat as is — it’s fibre, right?

Finely shred some fresh basil, stir in a little cream and adjust the seasonings.

The finishing touch requires a grilled cheese sandwich. You know how to do that, right? Don’t worry, I didn’t use Cheez Whiz (but I won’t judge if you do). Instead, I opted for a lovely smoked cheddar on sourdough. Slice the sandwich into little cubes and place on top of the steaming bowls of goodness. This soup is uncomplicated comfort fare. It’s creamy, bursting with tomato basil flavour and ultimately a grand way to usher in fall.

Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons I used San Marzano tomatoes, just because that’s what I had on hand. Feel free to substitute Roma tomatoes. The whipping cream is optional; it just adds another layer of lusciousness. Make whatever grilled cheese croutons you like ­— brie, Havarti, Gouda — the choices are endless. >12 cups of fresh Roma tomatoes, cut in half 1 medium onion, cut into quarters >4 large cloves of garlic, smashed >coarse salt, pepper >sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary >4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil >2 tbsp butter >3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth >1 tbsp honey >handful fresh basil, finely shredded salt and pepper to taste >1/2 cup whipping cream >grilled cheese sandwich fixings ­— your favourite cheese and bread and some butter. One large sandwich is enough for croutons on 2­3 bowls of soup, depending on how many croutons you want.

Instructions: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Spread the tomatoes onto the

sheets and add onion and garlic to both. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, fresh thyme or rosemary. Drizzle with olive oil and place in preheated 400 F oven. Roast for about 40 minutes, stirring a few times. Slide the tomatoes into your favourite soup

pot. Add the butter and stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in honey. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree ­— be careful, hot liquid!

Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve into another pot to get rid of

the skins and seeds, if that bothers you. Add the fresh basil and cream, adjust the salt and pepper, keep soup on low, to warm through.

Make the grilled cheese sandwiches, cut into cubes and garnish the soup. Serves 4-6.

DR. BOOZE

Why pinot grigio is classified as a white

By James Romanow If you spend much time around wine, wine catalogues and wine makers, sooner or later you run into a curious fact — rosé is classified as a white wine. At first this seems counterintuitive.

It cries out to be called a red, albeit a watery one.

Once you spend enough time slurping down white you begin to understand why. More than a few white wines have a hint of pink to them in the right light. The reason is that making white wine is slightly more complex process than making red. The grapes are pressed not particularly hard and then before there can be any colour “contamination” the juice is taken away to be fermented.

Occasionally a white is made with what is called a cold soak, which is to say the juice is

allowed some contact with the skin. The immersion in fluid allows for some of the compounds that make up the flavours and aromas of wine to be extracted, making for a more complex wine.

Although pinot grigio has been vinified as a white wine since the 1960s it is actually a grayish red grape. The Alsace has always treated the wine as a sort of lighter version of pinot noir which is why their version is called pinot gris rather than grigio.

If you make your way out west to Kettle Creek Vineyards you can find such a wine. Alternatively you can get it from Co-op, or Willow Park.

They cold soak their pinot gris for a day and the result is a hugely complex wine that should be served much warmer than most pinot grigio.
