UBC MEN’S 2013-14 PROGRAM THE STORY OF THE THUNDERBIRD

VICTORY THROUGH HONOUR

In November 1933, the sports department at staged a contest among students to select a nickname for the university’s sport teams. At the time UBC sports teams were simply known as the “Blue and Gold,” or “Varsity.” After narrowing the suggestions from the student body down to the six best: Corsairs, Grizzlies, Spartans, Thunderbirds, Golden Eagles, and Musqueams, it was put to a vote. However, when the ballots were counted the name “Seagulls,” a write-in candidate, was found to be the winner!

Not amused, the Pep Club and Ubyssey staff took matters into their own hands and on Jan. 31, 1934 after a lengthy and spirited debate, the name “Thunderbird” emerged victorious.

However, it was close to 15 years later that the Kwicksutaineuk people of the B.C. west coast would officially grant permission to UBC to use the Thunderbird name and emblem. The Thunderbird is a high-ranking, mythical, powerful creature, indigenous to the West Coast and under whose protection come brotherhood, peace and goodwill.

This event took place on Oct. 30, 1948, at halftime of the homecoming football game at UBC’s old . Over 5,000 fans and students were witness to a ceremony involving the presentation of a 16-foot high Thunderbird totem to the university by well- known carver Ellen Neel of Alert Bay, B.C. and Chief William Scow, who at that time was President of the Native Brotherhood of B.C. and the hereditary chief of the Kwicksutaineuk people. Under old tribal laws and customs, the dedication by Neel and Chief Scow entitled the university and its varsity teams to use the Thunderbird name and symbol legally for the first time, permission and status that are unique honours for any institution or team and now possessed by UBC.

This totem pole was a gift to the Alma Mater Society and stood in front of Brock Hall from 1948 until the 1970’s. It was then moved to the north side of the SUB and unfortunately was inadvertently destroyed in 2000. Thankfully, the university through persistence, passion and partnership over three years, was able to have an exact replica pole carved by VICTORY THROUGH HONOUR TOTEM POLE Calvin Hunt and Merv Child of Alert Bay. On Oct. 18, 2004, a re-dedication ceremony was Re-dedicated in 2004, the Victory Through held as the totem, referred to as the ‘Victory Through Honour” pole, and representing the Honour Pole was hand carved by Calvin Hunt unique privilege of having both the possession and the blessing of the Thunderbird, was and Merv Child of Alert Bay and now lives returned to its rightful place outside of Brock Hall. outside Brock Hall at UBC. In an impressive and august voice, Chief Scow at that 1948 permission-granting ceremony stated, “It is yours now, and if you follow the precepts accepted with it, you cannot fail.”

Our student-athletes and our coaches are ready for an amazing UBC Thunderbirds season. These leaders in our community have aspirations in their sports that will take grueling effort, ruthless time management, and a commitment that can be appreciated by anyone pursuing excellence in their own chosen endeavor.

Our student-athletes and our coaches also have dreams that take them beyond the playing field and on a trek of learning, resilience and achievement. Thank you for following them on their journey of highs, lows and ultimate triumphs.

As we adapt and evolve our UBC sports model this year, and in the years that follow, there is one anchor that will remain constant. The root of our spirits rests with the Thunderbird and its message applies to all students alike: “Victory Through Honour”.

On behalf of the student-athletes, coaches, staff, and all of UBC, thank you!
