Join the canoe family

THE NISGA'A Sea’ Going Canoe Society is urging com-
munity members to become part of history in 2004,

More than 30 canoes are expected to visit the Nass
Valley's Lava Lake in friendship next year, society co-
ordinator Brad Tait says.

“There is plenty of work for everyone to contribute to-
wards this cultural event,” Tait says, asking individuals,
service clubs and other organizations to lend their sup-
port by getting involved now.

Tait says the gathering is also about restoring culture
that has been lost and in some cases stolen from the
Nisga’a people,

“The journey is a journey into our past,” Tait notes,
adding the symbolic event will link current generations
with proud traditions. “We are tracing the foot steps of
our ancestors.”

The society is hosting a planning meeting at Il a.m.
on Saturday, Sept. 20 at the New Aiyansh Culture
Centre. “Let’s stand up and be counted. Let’s make our
ancestors proud. Join the canoe family!”

For more information, call Brad Tait at (250) 633-
2240 or email him ¢ at boneym@ telus. net
