#ThrowbackThursday
Warming up one of the #Indigenous drums that I've been gifted in the recent 10 years. All my other gifted drums prior to past decade were stolen by RCMP colonial terrorists at past protest raids. I only have one #handmade #deerskin #drum left from the three that were gifted to me during the last decade. One was broken by hereditary Namgis Chief Alfred on past wild salmon flotilla & another was stolen from me, by RCMP CIRG, on a past roadside support camp raid near Gitxsan territory.#CoastSalish #Nuuchanulth #GiftDrum #Decolonization #POCComrade #AntiColonial

check that. I think there may have actually been over 1000 people walking. They are still coming into the hall and they stretch all the way down road still

enjoying the rivers edge while we wait for the march. It started up river about 2km from here at the former site of the Alberni Indian Residential School.
The area across the Somass/Tsu'amaas River is a large estuary. Huge salmon habitat (chinook, coho, sockeye). It was also the location of the first settlers to get here (both Spanish and British)

Walked from my house to about the halfway point of the full march waiting for them to arrive. This is Victoria Quay, the Welcoming Figures and the Whaling Sculpture.
These are at the foot of Johnston Road / Highway 4 in #portalberni at the Tsu'amaas (Somass) River.
It smells of the ocean, and the end of the salmon run which might sound unpleasant, but it's not. :)

And by coincidence the AV News is running this impactful story of personal reconciliation for an Indigenous woman who is now a manager at the Tin-Wis Resort.

Consider this when you think of all the tourists that go to Tofino and the West Coast. One of the most famous resorts, Tin-Wis Best Western Resort.
“Old Christie, as it was commonly known, closed in 1971 and the children were moved to a new complex located at the site of Tin Wis Best Western Resort, in Tla-o-qui-aht traditional territory. New Christie Residence closed in 1983, making it the last of the Indian Residential Schools in the province of British Columbia.”
Most of the tourists have no idea the trauma that occurred there.
Strength and healing to all survivors and their families today, and every day. 🧡

A thoughtful Truth and Reconciliation Day to all in this place called Canada. 🍁
May we collectively pause and consider what has happened, what continues, and what must happen in future to be better.
The past is still very very present here in Nuuchanulth territories.
The last buildings of the old Christie IRS on Meares Island near Tofino will be demolished October 9th. Survivors are invited to witness and/or participate. Link to news story below.

Our son is getting a real west coast experience today. He spent the night with his high school outdoors class hiking and camping on Flores Island, Ahousaht Territory. It is north of Clayoquot Sound and Tofino.
Camped on the beach last night. It was beautiful and sunny yesterday. It will be cold and raining this morning. 😆 And they’ll be traversing a small tidal river on their way back. Fun times!

CW: Foster Care - Troubled Families - Abuse
In my town. There is too much of this kind of tragedy.
18 years old and she froze to death outside on a residential street. Why was she outside? Where were the people who were supposed to be caring for her.
There is so much wrong with how foster care is done in our province.

I have a recurring annual calendar appointment for March 16. Today is the 102nd anniversary of Comox-Alberni MP A.W. Neill's first speech in his 21 year career in the House of Commons (1921-45) where he called for a "white British Columbia”.
Neill was a white supremacist, anti-Asian racist, and one of the loudest voices for Japanese Internment. He was also an Indian Agent dealing with First Nations and Residential Schools on Vancouver Island's West Coast.
In 2021 his name was removed from a local school but he remains honoured with a street name.
I will continue reminding people of this until that honour is removed.
(A full report about him starts on page 82 of the City of Port Alberni Agenda from January 23, 2017)

If you want to learn and hear from First Nations women in this part of the world and how they're regaining their space, this is a great article about Nuu-cha-nulth women:
“Nuu-chah-nulth women are powerful, strong, and not afraid to take up the space meant for them. This is how Mariah Charleson (łučinƛcuta), a Hesquiaht member who was recently elected the nation’s chief councillor, describes the women of Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations.”

I'm really proud that our community, the entire community, is taking action and proposing solutions to the toxic drug crisis. I feel very grateful that we have Tseshaht First Nation leading us in many ways in this effort.

“If Canada can afford to build these buildings and run them in our territory for all the years they did… as residential school buildings, they can afford to tear them down and help us build new and heal from what happened here,” said Watts.”

It was a hard and expensive road to get through all the building permits and stuff, but I'm super proud that my community came together to create this Tiny Home Village for people who are struggling to find safe and affordable accommodation.

I’ve had the good fortune to visit the Cheewaht Cedar in Ditidaht territory on Vancouver Island. If this one a hundred kilometres north on Flores Island is properly protected along with its surrounding ecosystem, and all other old growth, I hope to visit it. An ancient wonder. A monument to the permanence of life.

I have also released for the first time an update to my Environment Canada forecast scraping tool/script/augmenter that translates some keywords in the English forecast to Nuuchanulth (Barkley dialect). I am hoping to increase the number of words and phrases it translates this summer in time for the fall and winter seasons. If you are a Nuuchanulth speaker I would love to connect with you to improve this.
