  • 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.

The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
