HERE-‘N THERE’ YVONNE MOEN MANY PEOPLE are upset with the measures taken to protect the endangered coho. _ Now with the off-limits ban on salmon fishing on the Skeena River for much of the summer, local businesses are worried about the effects it will have on tourism, : And of course for the na- lives, they said if you take away the salmon, it would be killing a whole race of people. With all of this concern for coho fishing, I thought maybe this song would be rather appropriate. ’ Thirty years ago, well- known local pioneer, Floyd Frank thought he would try his luck at song writing. He composed The Songs of the Cohoe, and lucky for him the song was picked up and recorded by none other than the famous Canadian . cowboy Tom Connors. The song of the coho was released in 1992 on the record tille My Stompin’ Grounds, by Stomping Tom.

They were married August 13, 1938 in Victoria, Many remember the good ol’ days when Floyd was a milk- man and Aileen was a school teacher. Floyd was also a songwriter. His song about coho was recorded and sung by Stompin’ Tom Connors.

People came together to leam about Race Unity: 2000, a project focussed on eliminating racial prejudice and creating solidarity. Locals were encouraged to pick up four-coloured- talking sticks, which represent all races in humanity (black for African Canadians, red for in- digenous people, yellaw for Asian Canadians and white for European Canadians.) In picking up a_ stick, people were asked to make a conscious effort to stop ra- cial prejudice and to ap- preciate human diversity. “The power is within you,’’ said Curtis Ahenakew, spokesperson for Race Unity 2000. ‘‘Pick- ing up a stick means walk- ing out that door and com- mitting yourself to stop racisin.”” The sticks were brought here by Ahenakew, from the Cree nation, and Ernest Voyageur Jr., from the Cree and Dene nations, who are touring B.C. and the Yukon promoting their —unily dream, “The project’s primary objective is the spiritual Around Town transformation of the human heart to create a greater sense of unity among all people,” said Ahenakew. Ahenakew, who volunteers his time, got in- valved with the project after ‘his six-year-old son Devin was picked on at school for being a native. “Racism is a sickness — an illness,”? he said. ‘“We don’t see people’s skin colour. We see them as brothers.”’ He aud Voyageur are trying to establishing 2000 Race Unity Clubs by year 2000 in public and private schools in B.C. “We're getling youth in- volved because they're not so infiltrated with racial prejudice,’ said Voyageur. The race unity clubs will promote oneness through programs, stories, songs, drawing contests, pow wows and discussions of hu- man Virtues, “We really believe in this project, ’? said Voyageur. “We're committed to the vision of unity. We'll be back in Terrace three times a year to talk with the club here.” Rave Unity 2000 is a non- religious project.
