| dc.description.abstract | Growing up through a time of great changes in the lives of First Nations people I have seen and felt may things. Only a couple of generations before my time we were self governing states with our own institutions to govern day to day life and the resources we depended on. Through most of my lifetime we were treated like children by the new governors of this country. Now we are seeing the beginnings of a new period where we can once more have control over our affairs. There has been a great deal to think about in joining the past to the present and planning for the future of our people. This work documents some selected legends, recollections, and my own thoughts and feelings to develop a narrative that may allow onlookers to understand some of the things that may not be readily apparent, especially to non-native people, about a coastal First Nation and the relationship of the people, the land, and the sea. | |
