Gillnetter goes to Quebec

A north coast pillnetter is on its way to -
Canada’s Museum of Civilization in
Quebec to tell muscum gocrs a story of
west coast life.

The 34-foot fishing boat, Nishga Girl,
will be part of a Canadian pavilion display-

. ing artifacts from across the country. Each
~ artifact will tell a part of Canada’s history.
...rhe museum was originally going to

build a gillnctter and make up a story, but
George Hays, director of the Northwest
Maritime Museum, proposed the pavilion

“se a real boat.

*¢Gillnetters were a big deal here at one

_..time,!” Hayes said. ““Nishga Girl will tell a

real story of B.C. and fishing and boat
building skills,”’

The 39-year old gillnetter, is one of 200
fishing boats built by Japanese Canadian
Jack Tasaka, who lives in Prince Rupert.
He made the boat in 1960 for Nisga’a com-
fisherman Harry Nyce of

“‘Tasaka’s story would symbolize one of
the best gillnetters on the coast,’” Hayes
said. ‘‘He fished up and down the whole
BC Coast,”

it would also tell the story of how Japa-
nese Canadians were persecuted by the fed-
eral government during WWII — Tasaka
was forced ta move to Lillooet during the
war. He then returned to the North in 1949.

‘Japanese people are a significant part of
our heritage and so are the Nisga’a,”’ Hayes
said.

Nisga’a commercial fisherman Harry
Nyce and his family used the boat for 30
years.

The boat is presently being restored by
the Tasaka family. Red cedar planks arc
being replaced where necessary and the oak
ribs are being steamed and reworked.

A ceremony last Salurday in Port Edward
marked the transfer of the boat to the musc-
um, Nishga Girl will be loaded Sept. 26
onto a train going to Quebec.
