The fur would be cut into long narrow strips and then woven. Brown (summer) fur was combined with white (winter) fur to form a pattern. Women’s coats were also made this way. When was the last time Johnny saw a blanket like this? ‘In 1918, my grandmother had one. I’ve never seen one since.” Beaver pelts were also good for blankets and “When the fur traders came and took away so many beaver pelts, the Indians had to ~ start wearing white men's clothing. It wasn’t - nearly so warm.’ ; How did the Indians make thread for sewing? Along the ‘‘T-bones,’’on the spine of a moose or caribou, there’s a strip of sinew about 4” wide x 2” thick. Indian women would cut off this strip of sinew, wash and stretch and dry it. It could then be peeled off and twisted into strips of very fine thread. This sinew thread was so long-lasting that moccasins would wear out long before the thread did. Johnny says that moose or caribou skin can be dry-cleaned. Washing will fade the smoked-in colour, but dry-cleaning will not. Other uses for parts of the animal were: knives, scrapers, and needles made from bone, necklaces from teeth, and perhaps most intrigu- ing, rattles made from the hooves. 3 or 4 holes would be drilled through the hooves, and strips of sinew put through the holes. Mainly these rattles were used as warning sig- nals on snares and traps, to let the trapper know - - the minute an animal was caught. The device worked well with beaver. ‘‘In March, when beaver start to come out, we’d cut a hole in the ice, right in front of the beaver house, and set : the net in. Both ends were tied to trees, and rat- — tles were attached to the ends. When the beaver swam into the net, the hooves would rattle, and | ~ you could get him out right away.” | __ Caribou hooves were best because they were | - lightest. For this reason women used them most | often, as they could easily carry them on hunt- } ing trips.. The hooves were also attached to the bottom of small children’s coats, to help keep _track of them - much like cowbells! And blind ~ people wore them on their jackets, to use as a signal if they needed help. The Tlingit even had a dish similar to boiled pigs’ feet. They would burn the hair off moose ~egs, cut the legs up into slices, and boil them for ‘averal neu - reputedly delicious, if done right. These were some of the smeourcensl and thrif- y ways the Tlingits obtained their food, cloth- ing, and utensils. In a future issue, Johnny hopes to tell us how the Indians dried berries and fruit for the winter - how, for instance, they never suffered from the disease of Scurvy. | Lo ‘ 4 4 + * 4 © ”* . iw a8 rs se “ as - tu ee Lion's News The Cassiar Winter Carnival is now past for ahother year. The event that had. the greatest attendance was the Cassiar Lions’ ‘Monte Carlo’ Night, Saturday March 12th. The evening was a great success, with over one third of the popula- tion turning out for the occasion. The kids were busy with; the Fish Pond, Shooting, Hoopla (Ring Toss), Spill the Milk, and hot dogs. Both the kids and the adults flooded the Bingo so that there was a shortage of cards. For those who were more adventurous there was; Crown and Anchor, two Over and Under, and the Bar. Busi- ness was so brisk that the working Lions did not have a chance to get involved in many of the activities from the other side of the counter. Lion John Forbes had everything well organized so that the crowds could get to each activity. Everyone is looking forward to the Lions Ball, coming up on May 7th. The response to Operation Identification has improved with the notice in the latest edition of the Cassiar Courier. _Lion Reg reports that he has picked. up 536 dozen beer bottles in the month of Feb- . ruary. The Cassiar Lions Club has made a donation of $100.00 to L.I.F., Lions International Foun- dation. The Foundation has three major objec- tives: Major Disaster Relief; Humanitarian Ser- vices, and Vocational Assistance. Examples of the work being done: _ —Following a tragic fire disaster which killed forty women and orphaned their fifty pre-school children, the Lions Clubs of Finland undertook to build a nursery home for the care of these or- phans. A LIF grant of $5,000 will enable the completion of the home and will assure the children’s continuing maintenance and educa- tion. —Training of deaf and mute children. —Eye camps will restore sight to an additional 1,000 people in Bangledesh, cost is only $5.00 per person. —Building a Children’s Hospital in Guatemala for undernourished children. Remember, 100%. of every donation to LIF is destined to the project since Lions International » meets all administrative expenses. If Columbus had turned back no one could have blamed him, but no one would have remember- ed. “5 SPRING and SUMMER FASHIONS NOW ARRIVING EVENING and CASUAL WEAR Sizes s- to: 20 - HOURS Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri.. 3:30-7:30 p.m. Wed. - 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. Sat. -2:30-6:30 pm Sunday - CLOSED Af you would like to come at some other time please call 778-7329 RnosEs 5 631 Tagish Street WS.

He was sent to establish a fort on the Dease, prompted by McLeod’s earlier trip. Campbell made contact with McLeod, in fact travelled with him from Fort Simpson to Fort Halkett in the spring of 1838, before his trip to Thaltan Village. It is in Robert Campbell’s account of his 1838 trip that the difference of opinion oc- curs. According to his memoirs, written when he was in his 80's, Campbell arrived at the same crossing on the Tuya on July 21, 1838. He Says, “Here we came to the “Terror Bridge’ whence Mr. J. McLeod & exploring party had turned back in 1834, He had named the river the Pelly, but as a matter of fact, the river in question was the upper part of the Stikine.” QUESTIONS: 1) Why did Campbell report that McLeod turned back at the Tuya? He knew McLeod, and likely had many opportunities to question him about his trip. 2) Campbell says that McLeod called the Stikine the ‘“‘Pelly’’. There is no record of that in any of McLeod's writings. 3) Who knows the real answers to these ques- tions? ANSWER: No one, quite likely. It’s a puzzle... Discrimination Native Indians MR. R.E. SKELLY (Alberni): My question is to the Attorney-General. On February 1, 1977, the vice-president of the United Native Nations wrote to the Attorney-General giving evidence of discrimination against native Indians by pro- vincial court officials, the RCMP and other pro- vincial government employees in the Lower Post area. Has the Attorney-General taken any action to investigate these complaints? HON. G.B. GARDOM (Attorney-General): | be- lieve that problem has been attended to but | would like to check it. So | would not like to give you an affirmative answer today. MR. SKELLY: Again to the Attorney-General on a supplementary. HON. MR. GARDOM: you referred to? MR. SKELLY: It was a letter from the United Native Nations’ vice-president, Ron George, on February 1. There were also allegations in the letter specifically against the trial of Arnold Campbell versus Newton Carlick. | am wonder- ing if the Attorney-General. will also look speci- fically into the irregularities in that trial that were alleged to have taken place. Against Which was the letter HON. MR.:GARDOM: Thanks very much for mentioning the letter in question. Perhaps you did at the initiation of your first question, but if you did | am afraid | missed it. | have re- quested a report concerning the material con- cerned in that correspondence. | have also in- formed the people who wrote the letter and certainly the member for Atlin (Mr. Calder) as well. -Hansard Volume 2, Number 16 UNITED STEELWORKERS LOCAL 6536 UNION MEETINGS 3rd Tuesday of the Month. 1:00PM and 7:00PM Street e222 tw
