I am also interested in reviving my language (hulquminum) Right now I am looking for stories for my local are. My late father had a tape of his mother telling stories from our territory. One of the stories was the story of Snake Island. I remember hearing my grandmother telling her version on the story. The story was taped by Wayne Suttles. I was wondering is there are any tapes of Mrs. Jimmy Joe (Ellen Rice) stories in your collection.
Thank you for your time

Comment on Speaking Highlights for Global Dialogue: Remixing Art and Indigeneity, Again by Christy Zelepuza

Hello Jill, I am friends with Louie Gong my name is Christy Zelepuza I attend Antioch University Center of Creative Change for my master degree. I would love to have the opportunity to observe the interaction with the topic of Art/Culture.
My change project is based around family trees, art and foods for all cultures so I think this would be amazing to observe. I only can observe for Saturday if possible. I have been involved in Indian Education for 31 years and really feel multi-heritages is the wave of the future. I am eleven different bloods so I find this so very interesting and really want to teacher everyone to be proud of all their bloods. I also want to help everyone be open to each other’s cultures to make this world a better place for every person.
Thanks so much for your consideration; I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Christy Zelepuza

Hi Jill,

Christy Zelepuza (cc’d here) is a Master’s level student at Antioch University. She’s interested in more information about attending some of the discussions, and she may follow up with a request. I’m not sure which parts are public.

Christy: here’s a link to the blog post about the event: http://www.moa.ubc.ca/blog/?p=2731

Thanks,

No need for thanks it’s a privilege and an honour to express my thanks for Doug’s work in this way. Thanks also to Councillor Steve Coen for his never ending commitment to restoring and re-erecting our pole to show our pride in this aspect of our heritage which neatly dovetails into OUR (Salford/Alert Bay) heritage.

Comment on Questions about ‘the club’ by jennifer

Hi there, and thanks for your comment. You’re right: the reference here to the ‘Cook club’ is misleading. The club was not made by Cook, nor necessarily owned by him alone. It was given as a gift or in trade to him and members of his 3rd Pacific voyage by the people of the West Coast of Vancouver Island in 1778. In the post above, the curator used the phrase “Cook club” as shorthand to refer to this particular club, in relation to other clubs the original questioner asked about. We appreciate that we need to be more specific when talking about this piece, and will be more careful in future. Again, thanks for pointing this out! Best, Jennifer

why is the club being referred to as “the Cook Club” rather than a Yuquot club or the Friendly Cove club or the Mowachaht/Muchlaht Club or the Nuu-chah-nulth club?
