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.
