TREATY UPDATE

Yo community,

Starting soon the Treaty Office will begin to host

family meetings again. We held a second one with

the Charlie Family in July. There was a good

turnout! Thank you Auntie Marion Wamiss, you

are a great cook!

At the meeting I

described as clearly as

possible what the two

governments have

offered the Gwa’sala-

‘Nakwaxda’xw so far in

treaty negotiations.

There is a lot of

different and difficult

language used in

negotiations. As much as possible the treaty team

– Chiefs Paddy, Tom and Willie help to give

examples in an effort to clarify what governments

are saying to us.

The family members raised really good questions

and concerns. For example, the question of land

and what amount should we discuss or counter

propose?

Regarding a cash component in a final agreement

– what is enough to help to rebuild what has been

taken or lost? It is not easy to come up with

numbers or amounts because our people do not like

to measure and tally what the Creator gave.

However, we have agreed to negotiations and it is

important to speak about our rights, our title and

what we need for the future of our people.

It has been good to have dialogue with community

members at the family settings; attendance

includes representation of youth, parents, and

elders. In the future we would like to find ways to

more fully engage youth and small children to help

promote a greater understanding of the histories

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Good morning everyone! I have an important announcement to make about the start of school for the

Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw School students in Grades 1-7.

Due to many recent renovations and upgrades to the school we have delayed the opening of school until The school will be opening on Thursday, September 10 for Grades 1-7 from 8:55 to 10:30. Friday, September 11 is full

day for grades 1-7.

Monday, September 14 Preschool and Kindergarten starts from 8:55 - 12:00.

Monday, September 21 K's start full days.

The bus will be running to and from school on this day. Friday, September 11 school will be a full day. We

will post a bus schedule next week. Kindergarten and Preschool will start on Monday, September 14.

At this point, crews are madly installing a new roof and all new flooring. So our staff do not have access to

the building. We also have everything from the classes being stored in the gymnasium which need to be

moved back. We don't even have our phone lines back. Hopefully late next week we will have access. If

you are wanting to register a student or need to talk to a staff member please call or drop by late next

week.

I know this isn't ideal but the school is starting to look amazing and it will only get better in the coming

weeks! Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding. "Strong Together In All We Do"

Thanks.

GWA’SALA – ‘NAKWAXDA’XW RECYCLE DEPOT

Hello family and friends,

As you know I am the new operator of our Recycle depot we have, I have been here since May now and

quite familiar with the system now.

I have attended a small workshop already, and will be attending a conference in October so I can learn

more.

There is quite a list of items I could take in the depot, accepting household furniture that can go into the

general bin (the big one), such as. Beds, couches, dressers, TV stands, bed frames, also I could take old

lumber, roofing tiles, basically anything.

Also, I have another bin, it accepts metal, such as. Washers, Dryers, Fridges, Freezers, Metal bed frames,

and dishwashers.

If you have any trouble or can’t get anyone to help you move your junk up to the depot, please don’t

hesitate to get a hold of me, then I could help arrange help or move it myself up to the depot

After all, the purpose of our community having a recycle depot is to reduce the amount of garbage we send

off any hopefully, eventually stop the landfills!

Also we have the General Household Garbage bin and the Metal bin to prevent roadside build up

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me, email me, or even pop by when the depot is

open and chat with me.

Food Security & Nutrition Coordinator

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great summer!

Just a little update on the Good Food Bag Program and Garden.

Good Food Bag days are now on WEDNESDAYS and the next one will be on

September 9th, 2015. The sign up sheet still remains at the front desk. Just a little

reminder that bags have to be picked on the pick up date otherwise they will be

given to someone else. You can also arrange for someone to pick up for you if you

are unable to! If anyone has any suggestions for new recipes, feel free to contact

me!

The Garden is looking awesome! So far, I have harvested peas and they tasted

wonderful! I will be doing more harvesting soon. We just recently had the fence put

up around the garden. BIG THANK YOU to Brian David, Darrell Walkus and

Patrick Johnny, it looks awesome!

Thank you!

Shain Jackson Artist Statement

Shain Jackson (Niniwum Selapem) is Coast Salish from the community of Sechelt. He is an

artist and a lawyer who has represented the interests of Aboriginal communities and

organizations throughout British Columbia in relation to a broad array of issues. After years

devoted to the legal profession in 2007 Shain decided to leave his practice to focus his attention

on the many facets of B.C.’s Indigenous art.

Artistically, Shain works in Coast Salish design using a wide range of mediums such as Cedar,

copper, glass, aluminum, acrylic with work ranging from small carved pieces of jewelry to large

scale sculpted public art pieces. As he has continued to develop his own artwork to a higher

level, he has had the privilege of collaborating with many amazing local artists. On his own, and

in partnership with these artists Shain has garnered numerous awards and acclaim both locally

and internationally.

The theme existing almost invariably in Shain’s work is that of unity - bringing together diverse

groups and working toward a common vision. Revisiting old Coast Salish stories and teachings,

he not only incorporates these messages into his artwork but also into all areas of his life. Aside

from being an accomplished artist Shain has taken very seriously his responsibilities to his own

community of Sechelt and the urban Indigenous community at large. Further to this, through

his company Spirit Works, Shain: has developed programs aimed at providing employment and

training to Indigenous youth; donates space, equipment and expertise to Indigenous artists in

need; consistently donates time and artwork to numerous charitable organizations; has designed

and facilitated workshops aimed at providing cultural teachings for at-risk Indigenous youth;

and much more.

Shain’s biggest contribution to the Indigenous art world was the creation of an authenticity

program aimed at protecting the economies and culture of Indigenous artists in BC. With the

advisement and backing of many top Indigenous artists and cultural keepers Shain founded the

Authentic Indigenous Arts Resurgence Campaign. Hosted by Aboriginal Tourism BC, this is a

branding scheme that has paved the way for major shifts in resources relating to Indigenous

artwork back to Indigenous artists. This initiative has also offered Indigenous artists

unprecedented control over their work, something unattainable under current intellectual

property laws. On every level this program has been a resounding success.

Currently Shain has been named for appointment to the board of directors for the First Peoples’

Cultural Council where he will continue the work of protecting and revitalizing Indigenous

cultures.
