B4 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 26, 2000 Elder returns to Nass Valley By YVONNE MOEN MY VERY good friend Mrs. Dorathy Doalan re- cently moved back home to Gitwinksihlkw, where she will be closer to her family, It was in 1994 that first met Dorothy and over the last six years we be-— came good friends. She is a very lovely lady and | feel fortunate to -have met her. , Dorothy is a very im- portant elder to the. people of Canyon City. 1 hope now that she. has returned home all the younger gen- eration will sit with her and listen ta her stories of her life long ago. She has so much to offer. _ HERE ‘N THERE YVONNE MOEN Dorothy was born De- cember 18, 1916 in the old . village of Underleat. Her parents were Henry and Martha Azak. There were 18 people in her fa- mily. Her father Henry was one of the first people to move his family to Git- winksihlkw. He was instru- mental in the start up of the village, helping to build the first seven houses there. He also helped to build the little church that still stands today. Dorothy first began That's Dorothy Dooian with her daughter Diana Smith. Doolan recently left Terrace to live in Git- winksihlkw to spend more time with her family. school in Gitwinksihlkw, until she attended classes in Alert Bay, a school run by missionaries. Dorothy wanted to be- come a nurse but she had to leave school in Alert Bay lo return home to care for her mother who be- came ill, Later in her life, after her own children were older, Dorathy became a mid-wife and she delivered many babies. Dorothy was also a nel- mender. She would work at this from May to Septem- ber during the fishing sea- son, She said this was very hard work, standing all day in the heat mending nets. Several years ago, Dar- othy was asked to go to U.B.C. ta talk to students about her culture and the old ways of living. She taught the younger gener- ation how the people from her time would cope. with health problems and the different remedies used. - In 1997 along with six other women, Dorothy was given a First Nations achievement community work, I will miss seeing Doro- thy around town and at the Happy Gang Centre, but ! wish her well in her new home in Gitwinksihlkw. = We're There & We Care Please welcome your nelghbourhood canvassers when they knock on your door.
