BIGHOUSE UPDATE AND NOTES FROM JANUARY 12 MEETING HELD AT THE ELDERS CENTRE

Hello community – may this year be filled with wishes and dreams that come true and may those

promises that are written and talked about take full form.

One of the dreams discussed for a long period of time has been the building of our own Bighouse,

‘Gukwdzi’, here in Tsulquate. For the last two years a group of concerned/interested community members

have spoken clearly of the need for our Bighouse now, not in another 50 years.

Bighouse Committee/Society formed

Last spring we formed the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwa’xwda’xw Bighouse Society as well as a building committee to

take the necessary steps toward planning to build a GN Bighouse. An early stage of the “planning” was

to hire a project manager/coordinator to carry out the first stage toward a completed Bighouse. In early

December, the Committee agreed to bring on board contractors with experience and proven ability to

carry out tasks as laid out.

First Draft Concepts of the Bighouse Provided

This past Monday, the contractors working for K’awat’si (GN Economic Development Corporation),

provided a first report of the work that has been done toward the first of several stages to complete the

Bighouse.

To build we need:

an overall project coordinator;

a location;

plans that outline the specs as laid out by the Bighouse Committee and community members;

a source of logs;

experienced master carvers and GN apprentices, carpenters and;

continued input and support from the community

funds

proposal writing

fundraising

Derick Ewen, Dave Sawyer and Conrad Browne presented several drawings that show a potential site for

the future GN Bighouse. The outside parameters are illustrated as well as the inside of the Bighouse,

taking into consideration such things as seating, handicap access, washrooms, doors, tunnels, fire area,

and all the other details recorded from previous meetings.


The drawings presented are available for viewing at the Elders Centre at this time and will be made

available over the coming weeks. It is hoped that people will view these and provide comments.

A Meeting of Master Carvers with experience building a Bighouse

It was very heartening to see the interest of the people present at the Monday meeting. As well as our

Elders, staff and community members there were Master Carver guests from Alert Bay, Kingcome and

Campbell River. The guests spoke strongly of the respect they have for our people and the ancestors of the

Gwa’sala-‘Nakwax’da’xw who had impacted and led to their own ability to become the Master Carvers

they are today.

The meeting opened with words and prayer in our language, led by Hitlamas. The rest of the meeting was

chaired by Colleen Hemphill, who gave a background of the activities and meetings leading up to that

day. A great dinner followed, provided by Silena and Chelsey of the Elders Centre, when the guests

introduced themselves…


“I am proud to see this coming together, and hope to have input to help our people come together. This

Bighouse project will help the youth come together and feel alive, as it did for the Wewaykum in

Campbell River, “ said Bill Henderson.

Bruce Alfred, grandson of Axu Alfred stated, “When the bighouse opened in Alert Bay in 1965, it changed

things, our culture became strong!”

Wayne Alfred spoke on how he had observed Willie Seaweed carving and how he was a real carver,

different from others around him. He talked about Mr. Hall, who was the head carver of the Big House in

Alert Bay. He mentioned how after watching our film, How a People Live, he thought, “How can I help my

people out?” He said tears of pride are with us GN and he commits to help as much as possible.

Junior Henderson said he has been carving for 21 years under his uncle Bill Henderson, and said that as

a grandson of Sam Henderson of the ‘Nakwa’xda’xw, “ … it would be an honor to give back some of what

we got..”

Charles Willie said how it is an honor to see all the strength and spirit present and he is glad to see the

Bighouse coming. He explained how in Rivers Inlet, the Wixinuxw hold all of their Elder, treaty and other

meetings in the Big House now – the level of respect is different and more positive now. “ I am glad to be

here, you’ll have all of me,” he said.

GN Councillor, Ernie Henderson, said he welcomed all the families present, “This is what it’s all about.

This is about pulling our people together. Its good for our kids, it is a must today. “

Mary Johnson, Elder Council and Bighouse Committee member stated, “Thank you for sharing your

beautiful skill from the elders.” She spoke of her ties to Hamidzi, Tom Johnson, a beautiful elder with

skills to sing. She stressed that we are the elders for the next generation to teach.”

Kathy Walkus said she is excited for the Bighouse and hopes our young people will be put to work.

Wayne Walkus stated he has been carving for four years and looking at the art of Smokey Top. He said he

feels privileged to be involved and is the great grand son of Charlie G and Smokey Top.


Walter Brown, ‘Pangwadi’, stated that his grandfather, Willie George, inspired him and that he has been

carving for five years with Charles Willie.

Eddy Walkus said words cannot express how happy he is to be hearing of our plans and that he has been

working with Master Carvers in Alert Bay for a number of years now.

Alfred Rufus, “Bird”, spoke about how he grew up on Turnour Island to see lot of dancers and masks that

are not seen anymore. To the Master Carvers present, he said, “I am real glad you guys are here, I heard

people say ‘there is not gonna be a Bighouse here, you’ll be dead first.’ I never realized it’s such a big

thing. The young singers here would feel more at home in a Bighouse.

Leo Lawson talked about his experiences where he came from and how important it is to have a

community process driven by community. He noted how the drawings “…capture what the Elders said”.

Kenny Walkus said he is anxious to learn more about the culture.

Alvin Walkus stated his lineage to George Walkus and that he is happy to see what is happening. “If we

have problems, with your help we can work it out.”

Willie Walkus talked about how he was told by his dad that the people of old days travelled to help each

other out. “My grandparents travelled from place to place to help. We are the grand children of those that

did this before. We are coming together now, after 50 years of separation – from our culture. This

Bighouse will be built with love.”

Community members raised questions and concerns

Conrad, Derrick and Dave provided responses to some of these.

Doug Johnny talked about the potential location, that he felt strongly on the need to build in the

homelands, he also stressed the need to speak to heads of the families.


Davis Henderson spoke of his concern that the plans do not reflect the way things were done in the past.

He also spoke on the need to rely on our own carvers.

Wade Charlie questioned the process that has brought the Bighouse planning to this point.

Hitlamas spoke his feelings about the need for respect and the need to avoid hurting. He talked of his

training from Katie Adams and the elders. And he thanked the remaining Wewaikum at the meeting for

their input.

Gary Walkus outlined his involvement. ”When I was 13 years old I heard people say ‘we need a bighouse’;

it was discussed again when I was 17. In later years I came back again and sat with Colleen and soon our

meetings started to grow. Elders came, we talked about location and Council supported a potential lot.

We kept inviting more and more people to discuss things; we extended invites to more families. At the

beginning in the meetings it was said, why not build in the homelands – but where could we find neutral

location?” He pointed out, “These are draft proposals for all our people’s input before we actually start to

build”.

Bill Henderson said, “My father learned to carve in Ba’as. He brought that teaching and culture to

Campbell River. I went to Colleen’s nephew’s funeral in November and saw the boys from here sing…

with that and a Bighouse you’ll only get better,” he said.

This is a chance for the young people

Betty Walkus stated that members present represented the families. She said we are a fast growing

community that needs a very large space. “My heart is with the young, they will learn here. Our children

can be proud. It is hard to have everyone involved -- this project has been discussed for years,” she said.

The meeting ended with all holding hands as Mary Johnson gave praise to God in a prayer and asked for

blessings on everyone especially those to travel back home.
