  • Understanding Metaphysical Tunnels in a Stó:Lõ Spiritual Geography
    “Centre from Which Underground Passages Radiate”: Understanding Metaphysical Tunnels in a Stó:lõ Spiritual Geography by Margaret Robbins Ethnohistory Field School 2009 1 Walking around Pitt Lake with Melvin Bailey in May, 2009 he remarked that the lake was one of those “strong places” for the Stó:lõ. This is a place not only of personal significance, but a place of spiritual power. Under the water, hidden from unknowing eyes, the “whole lake is honeycombed with tunnels.”1 These tunnels have almost mystical properties – dangerous to those who do not know how to use them and sources of power for those who do. Bailey’s poignant description provides a beautiful, if unsettling, visual. The idea that under the surface exists an entire system of connections is a sharp reminder that there is more to the landscape of the Stó:lõ people than can be appreciated in a superficial glance. Throughout the territory known to the Stó:lõ as S’olh Téméxw, in the lower Fraser Valley subterraneous tunnels connect disparate locations. These portals are powerful elements of a uniquely Stó:lõ geography that occupies both the physical and metaphysical landscape of the Fraser Valley, a landscape that shapes, and in turn is shaped by, the history, mythology and complex identities of community members.2 The existence of the tunnels necessitates a re-imagining of social and physical distance as well as challenging Western notions of time and place.3 Geographer D.W Meinig argues, “any landscape is composed not only of what lies before our eyes but what lies within our 1 Melvin Bailey, Interview with Margaret Robbins, Andrée Boisselle and Albert (Sonny) McHalsie, Katzie, May 14, 2009.

    February 28, 1980 Source: The Province, February 28, 1980. Details: February 28, three avalanches closed the Salmo to Creston section of Highway 3. Highway maintenance crews hoped to reopen the highway on February 28. Traffic over the Rogers Pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway was also delayed by avalanche stabilisation work. March 1980 Source: Campbell River Courier-Islander, February 16, 2007. Details: In March, a section of bank let loose, slamming into what was then called the Island Inn Motel and causing extensive damage. March 12, 1980 Source: Campbell River Courier, March 14, 1980; The Campbell River and area Mirror, March 19, 1980. Details: Starting 10 p.m. on March 12, southeast winds caused power outages between Courtenay-Kelsy Bay, including Quadra Island. The Campbell River airport recorded winds as high as 80 km/h. A heavy blanket of wet snow compounded the problem. In the Black Creek and Campbell River area, about 11 cm of snow fell, while the Campbell River airport received 30 cm. At Campbell River’s Tyee Spit, some floatplanes sank under the weight of the snow. A large helicopter was used to raise two of the aircraft. Early June 1980 Source: Victoria Times, June 6, 1980.
