(Speaking in native language), honoured guests, (speaking in native language), Chiefs, ladies of high standing, people, beloved children, honoured guests, thank you for being here. 27446. (Speaking in native language). My name is Nuaqawa, Evelyn Windsor. I come from the house of Wa’akas of the Oweekeno. I was born in Rivers Inlet. My father’s name is Simon Wa’akas and my mother’s name is Lila Hailamas. I was taken away to residential school at the age of five to the age of 12 years. 27447. I married into the Heiltsuk tribe. My husband, Marshall Windsor, and three of our children and one grandson have predeceased me. I still have two of my children residing here, along with four grandchildren. 27448. I have been living amongst the Heiltsuk for 66 years. 27449. MS. EVELYN WINDSOR: When I was five years old, I was taken away from my parents, my grandparents, and all my family. 27450. I spent from five years old to seven years old then I finally began to go to classroom schooling. The first years I was there I wandered around; there was nowhere to go, nothing to do but just hang around in the basement of the school, in the playgrounds, I couldn’t go out there. 27451. It was a very different experience for me, from having come from a beautiful home that my grandparents were always there for me when my parents were working. My parents were always there when they weren’t working. 27452. They taught me many things. They included me in everything, everything that they did. When they worked on fish for the coming winter, I was there and my hands were right in it and they never told me: “Go away. Go play somewhere else.” They just let me go right ahead and they said: “You’re helping. Bring me something. Go get me this stick that goes across the fish.” and that was their way of including me in everything they do. 27453. They were so -- I think that they were the greatest teachers. And then, to get hauled away into a place where I had no love, no hugs, no … I couldn’t even speak English. Transcript Hearing Order OH-4-2011 Heiltsuk First Nation - Oral presentations Ms. Evelyn Windsor 27454. I was lucky, though, that I was able to go home in the summertime and speak my language to my parents and my grandparents because they could not speak English and this is how I kept my language. 27455. My grandparents were always there to teach me about who I was. They told the community that if you see me out playing, make sure you take care of me and they said: “Take care of her. Teach her that there are -- anything is wrong, you tell her, explain it to her.” This is how I grew up with the community right behind my parents, teaching me. They looked after me. 27456. It’s so different compared to today. We allow our children to go out and we hope that the community is there to help. 27457. So this is one of the things that happened to me. My mother died when I was about 12 years old and I don’t know how my father got me out of the school. I’ve been through -- I’ve had people tell me: “You should go and take that -- tell them about your schooling because they’re going to close down pretty soon, they’re not going to -- they’re not going to do any more about the people that have been abused in schools. 27458. I left all those locked in my head. I can’t even remember and I don’t want to remember. I saw one -- one of the girls that -- ladies that live here, after she had been through this explaining about what happened to her, she lost her mind. She wasn’t the same person any more. 27459. It’s scary and I don’t want to talk about it or try to remember anything about those days in that school. I want to have a good mind. I want to be myself. I don’t want to lose everything. 27460. So this is something that I told them: “Just file this away. I don’t want to be bothered with it because, if everything comes back at me then I don’t think I’ll be the same person anymore.” 27461. So those are the things that happened in school. There was so much loneliness. Some of us never got to go home and some of us were able to go home. So when I went home in the summertime, it was so great. My parents talked to me some more about life. 27462. I remember when my father was dying, he said: “What’s going to happen Transcript Hearing Order OH-4-2011 Heiltsuk First Nation - Oral presentations Ms. Evelyn Windsor to me when I die?” I couldn’t figure out what is he asking.

  • The Fur Trade Era, 1770S–1849
    Great Bear Rainforest The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The Fur Trade Era, 1770s–1849 The lives of First Nations people were irrevocably changed from the time the first European visitors came to their shores. The arrival of Captain Cook heralded the era of the fur trade and the first wave of newcomers into the future British Columbia who came from two directions in search of lucrative pelts. First came the sailors by ship across the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of sea otter, then soon after came the fort builders who crossed the continent from the east by canoe. These traders initiated an intense period of interaction between First Nations and European newcomers, lasting from the 1780s to the formation of the colony of Vancouver Island in 1849, when the business of trade was the main concern of both parties. During this era, the newcomers depended on First Nations communities not only for furs, but also for services such as guiding, carrying mail, and most importantly, supplying much of the food they required for daily survival. First Nations communities incorporated the newcomers into the fabric of their lives, utilizing the new trade goods in ways which enhanced their societies, such as using iron to replace stone axes and guns to augment the bow and arrow. These enhancements, however, came at a terrible cost, for while the fur traders brought iron and guns, they also brought unknown diseases which resulted in massive depopulation of First Nations communities. European Expansion The northwest region of North America was one of the last areas of the globe to feel the advance of European colonialism.

  • The Making of the Heiltsuk Working Class: Methodism, Time Discipline, and Capitalist Subjectivities
    Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 3 Issue 2, December 2018 Harkin The Making of the Heiltsuk Working Class: Methodism, Time Discipline, and Capitalist Subjectivities Michael E. Harkin, University of Wyoming Abstract The Heiltsuk,1 a First Nation group in British Columbia, first encountered Europeans around the beginning of the 19th century. By the 1830s, they were thoroughly engaged in the trans-Pacific fur trade and the burgeoning commercial economy of the region. The fur trade generated considerable wealth for Heiltsuk traders, who maintained autonomy as providers of an important commodity. However, by the 1880s, many Heiltsuk were employed as wage-laborers, working at a nearby cannery, or as part of logging or commercial fishing crews. This shift to a wage-labor economy was accompanied by ideological shifts, a product of formal education and, in particular, the teachings of Methodist missionaries. Using E.P. Thompson’s study of the English working class in the early Industrial Revolution, and his concept of ‘time discipline,’ these ideological transformations are viewed as components of capitalist subjectivities. Keywords Capitalism, missionization, acculturation, subjectivities Traditional Culture The Heiltsuk are a band of First Nation people in British Columbia, previously known as the Bella Bella.2 They have occupied the area around Milbanke Sound in central coastal British Columbia since roughly 14,000 years B.P., according to a recent excavation completed there.3 The Heiltsuk were neighbors of the more famous Kwakwaka’wakw (previously known as Kwakiutl), who spoke a language of the same family (Wakashan). 1 I conducted fieldwork in Bella Bella, British Columbia, between 1985 and 1987.

Notable among these changes is a shift from traditional plank houses to European-style single-family frame houses that occurred shortly after missionary arrival. Using data collected during a 1982 excavation, this study compares the artifact assemblages from Fort McLoughlin, one contact-era traditional plank house, and one frame house to analyze changes in the frequencies of various artifact types between the two contact periods.

  • Looking for Bella Bella: the R.W. Large Collection and Heiltsuk Art History
    LOOKING FOR BELLA BELLA: THE R.W. LARGE COLLECTION AND HEILTSUK ART HISTORY MARTHA BLACK, 1081 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 3G8 ABSTRACT/RESUME The history and culture of the Heiltsuk people of Wáglísla (Bella Bella, British Columbia) has been poorly documented by ethnologists, in part because of the early Heiltsuk involvement with missionaries. An examination of one notable collection of Heiltsuk art, and the reports of the person who col- lected it, provides an opportunity to comprehend the position of these people in the early 20th century. L'histoire et la culture des Heiltsuk de Wáglísla (Bella Bella, la Colombie britannique) ont été mal documentées par les ethnologues, en partie à cause du rôle des premiers Heiltsuk dans les affaires des missionnaries. Un ex- amen d'une collection remarquable de l'art Heiltsuk, et les rapports de celui qui a rassemblé cette collection, fournissent une occasion de comprendre la position de ces gens au début de XXe siècle. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies IX, 2 (1989):273-291. 274 Martha Black The people of Wáglísla (as Bella Bella is now known), which today is a community that cherishes its history and traditions, may be surprised to see that the title of this paper is "Looking for Bella Bella." Of course, Bella Bella was never lost. It is true, however, that the history and culture of the Heiltsuk people who live there have been poorly documented in comparison with neighboring groups such as the much-studied Kwakiutl, with whom they have often been categorized. When I began my study of the one hundred and forty-five artifacts that the medical missionary Dr.
