and therefore they got to live on Saltspring because the land that we live themselves

Unknown Speaker 0:15
was in the land

Unknown Speaker 0:21
the big

Unknown Speaker 0:25
fight

Unknown Speaker 0:27
the other two systems of

Unknown Speaker 0:31
Samsung live on the north end

Unknown Speaker 0:34
of Saltspring Island and they were given land by the Indians

Unknown Speaker 0:40
and the racist that racist island because

Unknown Speaker 0:43
Georgia

Unknown Speaker 0:45
races

Unknown Speaker 0:50
to George rice because he had married some feels that How come all this land was given to

Unknown Speaker 0:59
families that was Indian land

Unknown Speaker 1:03

Unknown Speaker 1:05
I know because my dad used to take

Unknown Speaker 1:08
time out

Unknown Speaker 1:10

Unknown Speaker 1:22
now even my dad even my grandfather

Unknown Speaker 1:27

Unknown Speaker 1:31
was allowed grandfather was allowed to stay

Unknown Speaker 1:36
on the farm my grandmother was

Unknown Speaker 1:38
from seashells

Unknown Speaker 1:40
and the Indians

Unknown Speaker 1:47
love these things happen because of the Indian women marrying these white men

Unknown Speaker 1:54
find that

Unknown Speaker 1:56
they didn't grow up and told me to

Unknown Speaker 1:59
look for somebody look for a family research the Indian men don't research that

Unknown Speaker 2:07
well you have to have somebody to read those Indian names and you can tell exactly when

Unknown Speaker 2:20
you understand that? Yes yes.

Unknown Speaker 2:22
So therefore you have to

Unknown Speaker 2:25
you know Indian being

Unknown Speaker 2:27
little

Unknown Speaker 2:33
and then you have to research

Unknown Speaker 2:35
research

Unknown Speaker 2:37
but my grandfather

Unknown Speaker 2:40
George

Unknown Speaker 2:47
and when you find these

Unknown Speaker 2:53
it's important unless it's you know, private information in

Unknown Speaker 2:59
the land liens on all the land

Unknown Speaker 3:03
they had a place to go shoot ducks they had a place to dry fish every Portland community really that's

Unknown Speaker 3:12
quite a bit of the beaches

Unknown Speaker 3:15
they went to camp there does

Unknown Speaker 3:19
tend to do that for the whole side for five days

Unknown Speaker 3:36
the whole country was there

Unknown Speaker 3:40
this ownership were certain areas restricted to certain families

Unknown Speaker 3:44
Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 3:46
You talk a bit about that from

Unknown Speaker 3:49
Tom's family. Yeah, yeah well

Unknown Speaker 3:56
she would come all these parcels of land where you walk appeal stay

Unknown Speaker 4:05
in the Samsung booth Samsung brands

Unknown Speaker 4:13
should we charge

Unknown Speaker 4:15
he'd be a bit chilly where he is.

Unknown Speaker 4:18
And that was given to them by like see there is only one boy in

Unknown Speaker 4:26
Milan was always left to the male.

Unknown Speaker 4:32
He was allowed to give these precious land

Unknown Speaker 4:38
pieces of land his land

Unknown Speaker 4:41
on Saltspring Island sounds

Unknown Speaker 4:45
interesting. Do you remember the Indian names of those women? Of course this meal but I have it son here somewhere. But the guy he wants to talk to Rocky Samsung. We know rocky he's the all the names

Unknown Speaker 4:59
of course.

Unknown Speaker 5:00
Just

Unknown Speaker 5:03
it's very interesting

Unknown Speaker 5:09
so do you recall any place names on Saltspring

Unknown Speaker 5:12
Oh, I'm not nothing to names. The profit was normal

Unknown Speaker 5:18
another place was Walker's reverencing

Unknown Speaker 5:24
I know that for a fact because when I was about eight years old my dad went to walk

Unknown Speaker 5:31
and there was two guys they had

Unknown Speaker 5:36
their lambda school when

Unknown Speaker 5:41
my dad was put the book on the beach, take that brochure and you

Unknown Speaker 5:46
were all invited to the house.

Unknown Speaker 5:49
And the little fella on the Hill in a cabin that can go look there you find the cabin

Unknown Speaker 5:54
and they call him

Unknown Speaker 5:57
what they must

Unknown Speaker 6:01
then cheer me up.

Unknown Speaker 6:04
But these two brothers went up and paid him $15 a year to stay on this wall

Unknown Speaker 6:11
and against him on $1 bills per watch.

Unknown Speaker 6:16
He was let them stay there for $15 a year.

Unknown Speaker 6:20
He always thought

Unknown Speaker 6:24
that was an inch bubble over that I told him find up on the hill

Unknown Speaker 6:31
patients they are the farmers there was

Unknown Speaker 6:36
a little cabin with

Unknown Speaker 6:39
men

Unknown Speaker 6:41
he had made

Unknown Speaker 6:43
it relate to

Unknown Speaker 6:45
you know Vandy makes Yes Do you think he was a tenant there because snows the heat all

Unknown Speaker 6:51
the guys that

Unknown Speaker 6:55
was leasing it for $15

Unknown Speaker 7:00
So that'd be quite a waste how long ago that

Unknown Speaker 7:09
been here a long time and all this information as to

Unknown Speaker 7:14
you're still here oh yeah that image still here but

Unknown Speaker 7:23
because he's one of the guys are so good on camera on the beach

Unknown Speaker 7:34
get him a night together and he'd know being named

Unknown Speaker 7:40
becomes

Unknown Speaker 7:48
Jimmy Ryan

Unknown Speaker 7:53
he could talk

Unknown Speaker 7:56
we've heard of this name this Ryan so he lived on Saltspring

Unknown Speaker 8:01
and what was his connection to the native people? I don't really know

Unknown Speaker 8:15
so quite a few of you maybe research in history most of the white

Unknown Speaker 8:23
pieces of

Unknown Speaker 8:37
Indian men

Unknown Speaker 8:47
but most of Saltspring is in your land.

Unknown Speaker 8:51
Even the job where the jobs discoveries in this end they were missing but I don't know the name

Unknown Speaker 8:59
of the child that says Henry would know Yeah, that's what you're talking about with canal area know that

Unknown Speaker 9:11
there would

Unknown Speaker 9:12
be a sea bass there they were jabs at

Unknown Speaker 9:24
Oh yeah, it was all taken in the war.

Unknown Speaker 9:27
Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 9:30
They said the castle

Unknown Speaker 9:37
you say the Indians? Well, I mean, they obviously have.

Unknown Speaker 9:40
So who would have gone to Saltspring native groups.

Unknown Speaker 9:44
communities? I think

Unknown Speaker 9:46
he was showing you'd have to ask Henry.

Unknown Speaker 9:54
He lived in Connecticut. But most of the news and analysis were from

Unknown Speaker 10:00
somewhere else

Unknown Speaker 10:01
but the parents

Unknown Speaker 10:06
stole a country

Unknown Speaker 10:09
I think semesters

Unknown Speaker 10:13
the old guy

Unknown Speaker 10:18
loves them

Unknown Speaker 10:24
two needs to

Unknown Speaker 10:26
come out to people

Unknown Speaker 10:33
like us people, you know, through marriage and that connected all over the place. Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker 10:39
Like you said

Unknown Speaker 10:41
your ancestor was a C sharp woman. Clap them out. Yeah, who would have been here she's living off cheaper Island

Unknown Speaker 10:49
outside of the seashell there, but she was an Indian. Therefore, that's how grandpa Landsman

Unknown Speaker 10:56
analysis

Unknown Speaker 10:58
chumminess country you see that in the map there in

Unknown Speaker 11:02
two minutes computation quite a bit yeah

Unknown Speaker 11:18
so the nature of this land you know, like the land that Tommy had gave to his sisters

Unknown Speaker 11:25
How would this be recognized by other native people? We all know about it we all know one another because I told him see the races didn't know they were related to the

Unknown Speaker 11:36
Samsung

Unknown Speaker 11:38
neither one of them knew who was related

Unknown Speaker 11:43
I had a past

Unknown Speaker 11:45
this was those sisters you were talking Yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Unknown Speaker 11:51
But they were also carefully all the people like Vicky deal one of the go to range girls my dad said no, no, he knew we didn't know

Unknown Speaker 12:03
Vicki one but one of the boys went on the race.

Unknown Speaker 12:08
My Dad No

Unknown Speaker 12:10
that was it. So no,

Unknown Speaker 12:13
he knew that because

Unknown Speaker 12:18
we restricted that

Unknown Speaker 12:22
we have

Unknown Speaker 12:31
Did you get

Unknown Speaker 12:34
a far like on the history? Oh, quite a bit of stuff.

Unknown Speaker 12:41
There's so many different ways while you're trying to do it now. So well occupied by white settlers and stuff like that.

Unknown Speaker 12:49
It's to educate those white settlers just about the past when

Unknown Speaker 12:56
we were doing work in the archives, archives

Unknown Speaker 13:02
history in the archives

Unknown Speaker 13:11
and I think once people know about it, they'll think differently about the place now I mean, this is what I think because most people on Saltspring think you know Celltrion just started 150 years ago, Bonito.

Unknown Speaker 13:23
Maori from New Zealand.

Unknown Speaker 13:26
I connect Delta UE I'm a member of nightowl who which is a big tribe down there.

Unknown Speaker 13:32
I've never met a Maori now funny thing I heard about was in chief

Unknown Speaker 13:41
we taught him

Unknown Speaker 13:46
to fly from your country. Well, my dad immigrated here in the 50s but my mom's side my mum's from Vancouver and her parents. They were Norwegian and English remove their need Canadians

Unknown Speaker 13:59
go back in Vancouver history anyway.

Unknown Speaker 14:02
So my native side is from New Zealand

Unknown Speaker 14:06
I was there two years ago

Unknown Speaker 14:09
and to me it's fascinating because the history of the peoples are so similar

Unknown Speaker 14:14
what happened to Native people here what happened to the mall? Very similar. I see on a news there was this day we have a selling the land. You know what happens? Why don't they stop selling the land

Unknown Speaker 14:27
and land the selling?

Unknown Speaker 14:31
Sure, you know, there's just like somebody coming here and saying okay, I'm going to Sony alone. You lost my alarm, why not sell it.

Unknown Speaker 14:40
So nobody thinks that that they should stop

Unknown Speaker 14:45
selling the land to all this land is finished.

Unknown Speaker 14:49
And then go from there.

Unknown Speaker 14:51
This would be the easiest.

Unknown Speaker 14:55
Either pro Henry Aboriginal looking for a house. nastily Jimmy was one

Unknown Speaker 15:00
At 85 years old, I thought you

Unknown Speaker 15:04
try to get him to build a little house on

Unknown Speaker 15:09
Oh, they have no money. The lawyers the poor guy. He was living my nieces.

Unknown Speaker 15:15
And they're supposed to look after the elders

Unknown Speaker 15:18
to who's looking after them

Unknown Speaker 15:23
well, I know I know. I know he was involved in trying to get that property on the south end of Cooper Island return

Unknown Speaker 15:35
Yeah, a bay it's called lammeter. Meltzer.

Unknown Speaker 15:41
Well, he knows that Hemi Eddie's

Unknown Speaker 15:45
family goes back to the first visit of Vancouver Island.

Unknown Speaker 15:51
His grandfather had the first feature is on Cuba. And I don't care hotels, it differences that's the way it was.

Unknown Speaker 16:00
And then they move on to the analysis

Unknown Speaker 16:03
and the all around

Unknown Speaker 16:05
but he was the first

Unknown Speaker 16:11
rock

Unknown Speaker 16:13
star Samson as

Unknown Speaker 16:15
I told Rocky,

Unknown Speaker 16:17
switch research at rocket will find that to the average family

Unknown Speaker 16:23
member right, I tell him that you should achieve

Unknown Speaker 16:29
the multibillion

Unknown Speaker 16:31
dollar that's all private land now. They're trying to get it back.

Unknown Speaker 16:36
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, I talked to Henry about that big 100 acres there. It was confiscated after the I don't know if you heard it, you know, knew about the incident that happened there. gunboat attack village way back. Then after that, they wouldn't allow any nice Indian people to live there when they started coming back. But the main part of that land is still privately held.

Unknown Speaker 17:01
I know they're trying to get it I mean, that's where Henry should live.

Unknown Speaker 17:04
Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker 17:08
We can very

Unknown Speaker 17:13
loosely saying with a tremendous bay there. Well, he's been when money

Unknown Speaker 17:21
moved up. Nikki

Unknown Speaker 17:24
has the house.

Unknown Speaker 17:27
Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 17:33
Nice to see.

Unknown Speaker 17:40
This a man like that he knows so much about people's history.

Unknown Speaker 17:45
And you should talk to him because he can tell you.

Unknown Speaker 17:50
Most of

Unknown Speaker 17:53
most young people like Bobby, who's another generation,

Unknown Speaker 17:58
and lots of times when they were playing around not listening.

Unknown Speaker 18:06
Did you just before we started you were telling me about how your grandfather used to teach you could you repeat that? That's true.

Unknown Speaker 18:12
What? You said something about

Unknown Speaker 18:15
your grandfather, making sure like how he taught you? Oh, that's obviously active. 108 years old. We all calm him down.

Unknown Speaker 18:23
And he would tell me a story. He would tell me information. Then a month later he'd asked me and I had to repeat it. Word for word.

Unknown Speaker 18:35
If I missed one word,

Unknown Speaker 18:37
we know the month

Unknown Speaker 18:39
especially healthy choices should be fun.

Unknown Speaker 18:42
And then

Unknown Speaker 18:44
one day

Unknown Speaker 18:47
you have to see happens we tell those four families

Unknown Speaker 18:52
so that

Unknown Speaker 18:54
they didn't even know they were related.

Unknown Speaker 18:59
So anyway, they found out something I can't figure that out. But status

Unknown Speaker 19:08
status. Money went down from my status. I wasn't going to get it because you're

Unknown Speaker 19:15
Indian people that need homes and needs stoves and

Unknown Speaker 19:20
like take it from

Unknown Speaker 19:22
me. No.

Unknown Speaker 19:24
I am like my grandfather.

Unknown Speaker 19:28
My Dad

Unknown Speaker 19:36
No, no. Why did you just give me nothing? Well, we give up our our

Unknown Speaker 19:41
our natural status for this Indian status.

Unknown Speaker 19:45
We don't have a right to fame.

Unknown Speaker 19:48
I don't think that's right. No, and this is a big difference between Canada and New Zealand.

Unknown Speaker 19:54
In New Zealand, the tribe decides who the member is. And it's all done through genealogy. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 20:00
So, like that's I'm a full fledged member and I tahu all the rights privileges. Yeah. Are you

Unknown Speaker 20:07
lonely? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 20:10
No, not full blooded. You see, that's the difference in New Zealand. They don't pay attention to the blood quotient. It's your knowledge of the culture and your your your descent. Like I buy blood, I'm one eight Maori, but

Unknown Speaker 20:25
by my focus off the Marini genealogy, full fledged member because my ancestors certain lands, grandmother and like, my father, you know, they all participated in the culture. He had our fishing and hunting grounds that we went to and he also culture that why does

Unknown Speaker 20:46
the history of

Unknown Speaker 20:49
Salisbury

Unknown Speaker 20:51
they see the good parts, I was telling him to go through to one of your meetings and tell them leave it alone. Because once you make the plan, you can.

Unknown Speaker 21:01
You can, you can steam your comms, you know, the union's they go on, they dig a big hole in the ground. And they put a bunch of rocks in there. And they build a fire on it.

Unknown Speaker 21:12
And then they go and take their plants,

Unknown Speaker 21:15
the private rooms

Unknown Speaker 21:17
they take the washer clams and dump them on the hot drops and then

Unknown Speaker 21:23
bam, steam off. And they put them on sticks perspective fire.

Unknown Speaker 21:30
So no, that's what they do on

Unknown Speaker 21:33
the template there. They

Unknown Speaker 21:36
stay right there.

Unknown Speaker 21:38
Right across, I think from the moment store long Harbor, there's a long Harbor. And unless that's released to camp, as we

Unknown Speaker 21:48
found,

Unknown Speaker 21:50
really, and they would do this, not they make a profit.

Unknown Speaker 21:55
Able to hunt

Unknown Speaker 21:58
they won't be able to start a fire won't even be able to cancel it.

Unknown Speaker 22:03
So why is

Unknown Speaker 22:06
it? Yeah, it does come up. But you know, they they don't consult, you know, they just don't let the native people know what they're doing. And of course, you know, the native bands are all divided. The government, then Council, they're looking after their own interests.

Unknown Speaker 22:21
Don't always doesn't always include the interest of all the people who see that. That's not the traditional government. It wasn't in the Maori culture and it isn't in the Indian culture. Traditional government was participatory. Everybody had a say, everybody was included. It's not the way anymore. See they've done yeah.

Unknown Speaker 22:38
Well, that's I mean, the sugar

Unknown Speaker 22:41
my grandfather's

Unknown Speaker 22:43
my adopted father, we're talking about two people I was talking about. I was Jack the author in college everybody underneath this adopted grandfather was something that my dad and the families were told to manage and they cancer and dry the fish fish efficient rather fish. No, that's should be taken into consideration.

Unknown Speaker 23:05
And another place to go to to my to them parents were down to the point

Unknown Speaker 23:14
they left

Unknown Speaker 23:18
and we call them babysitting on that one the woman would volunteer to

Unknown Speaker 23:23
lameness

Unknown Speaker 23:26
in the trunk of the gown

Unknown Speaker 23:30
the people from all over the place saw me and dumped out their shoes

Unknown Speaker 23:36
so they had to find a nursing mother. So they found my grandmother's sister other schemes Mrs. George and they flipped mum

Unknown Speaker 23:49
and my mother

Unknown Speaker 23:52
that's why I haven't found

Unknown Speaker 23:57
so you find out and then another face on this end of Eliana

Unknown Speaker 24:05
James has

Unknown Speaker 24:07
been a little Chef Oh long the point

Unknown Speaker 24:11
when the salmon came in the dog

Unknown Speaker 24:16
do the fishing

Unknown Speaker 24:22
that's all they make parks. Women don't really have a lot of plans

Unknown Speaker 24:29
to even make it

Unknown Speaker 24:33
so that's interesting. You told me about going to sock stream when you were younger. Could you describe that maybe more? Well

Unknown Speaker 24:42
there's a demo at Star was

Unknown Speaker 24:46
on that side there was a long standing

Unknown Speaker 24:51
them they're really loud.

Unknown Speaker 24:54
But then we will have temps on speech.

Unknown Speaker 24:58
In which to the for the tight

Unknown Speaker 25:00
Okay

Unknown Speaker 25:04
I'm here with summertime okay was the low daytime

Unknown Speaker 25:09
so that's long harbor so not Ganges harbor but the next one over

Unknown Speaker 25:15

Unknown Speaker 25:27
southwest

Unknown Speaker 25:30
booth canal

Unknown Speaker 25:45
YZ with the cats

Unknown Speaker 25:47

Unknown Speaker 26:01
I

Unknown Speaker 26:06
can help you find

Unknown Speaker 26:08
a white sheet of paper up here in the shelf

Unknown Speaker 26:12
shelf over here

Unknown Speaker 26:17
this whole bunch of pieces of paper together

Unknown Speaker 26:21
not in here

Unknown Speaker 26:27
let me see that angle

Unknown Speaker 26:32
it's a bunch of

Unknown Speaker 26:35
papers

Unknown Speaker 26:39
tape put together there was stapled

Unknown Speaker 26:50
it looks familiar movie theater stuff I took a course with her

Unknown Speaker 28:01
there, this all means something, you

Unknown Speaker 28:05
know, this way our Facebook queries, Facebook,

Unknown Speaker 28:09
Facebook

Unknown Speaker 28:15

Unknown Speaker 28:18
So when you kept on getting there, there's we actually go as bancha I used to go

Unknown Speaker 28:27
to St. Mary's Lee. Chunks of salt. Right, really. And we begin suss out and then we had to go home and

Unknown Speaker 28:36
that's cool. So you can use that. There's a lot of places that

Unknown Speaker 28:43
like when we used to go picking blackberries, we never took a tub or a buffet or anything

Unknown Speaker 28:48
when you

Unknown Speaker 28:51
really only had one.

Unknown Speaker 28:54
I don't know if anybody knows her.

Unknown Speaker 28:56
And then she makes us best basketball five to 10 minutes. And we all have a bat and make us one patient for their athletes and

Unknown Speaker 29:05
their sheets of leaves and the bottle.

Unknown Speaker 29:08
We never took anything. We took G admitted sugar which applied because

Unknown Speaker 29:55
on Saltspring Oh, do you? Yeah, Walker's book. For heaven's sake.

Unknown Speaker 30:02
That's that's the piece I'm telling you about the Vandy lift on the Hill Yeah, I know it's very interesting I'm trying to visualize where you know listen to me now okay down here at the head of tremendous speed down here with a meal is I used to tell anybody that the Indian lands right

Unknown Speaker 30:20
but one day sister St Joseph went down there and she suppose on there and find the cedar stumps and

Unknown Speaker 30:29
one of the brothers went film with them and they found a studio stump you start chopping them down and

Unknown Speaker 30:36
that's funny. So walk around with

Unknown Speaker 30:39
chopped up the southern

Unknown Speaker 30:43
he pasted off a building

Unknown Speaker 30:49
and it was a big house. And then we start I shoot that sister when they give me these wooden bowls

Unknown Speaker 30:55

I guess it's kind of under the

Unknown Speaker 32:14
bigger No, I'm not on the Emile Emile is here in the Bay runs of

Unknown Speaker 32:23
everybody

Unknown Speaker 32:26
but I wish

Unknown Speaker 32:29
that's okay

Unknown Speaker 32:34
yeah, he was one of the ones or the

Unknown Speaker 32:38
SP which he

Unknown Speaker 32:41
told her no we thought him

Unknown Speaker 32:46
okay, where would it be

Unknown Speaker 32:48
like we have to go up in here Yeah. Here somewhere I'm not sure where our friend did ever know.

Unknown Speaker 32:56
He lived there when they first he was six years old

Unknown Speaker 33:04
to get out have a look around their

Unknown Speaker 33:07
pizza table

Unknown Speaker 33:13
I'm gonna go down there one day

Unknown Speaker 33:20
as long as it's in there

Unknown Speaker 33:22
somewhere near that smooth but I'm not sure where

Unknown Speaker 33:29
are you in that thing fish the fish farm day or? No, I know where it is. But I'm just down the road from it. I can actually see why

Unknown Speaker 33:42
that's the most frustrating thing ever want to see that? Yeah. Especially when seeking burials

Unknown Speaker 33:48
he was telling us about it's pretty

Unknown Speaker 33:51
disrespectful

Unknown Speaker 33:53
trying to get some information through the freshman Junior

Unknown Speaker 33:59
fellow My name is

Unknown Speaker 34:02
the nickname since he was Yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker 34:07
So So you did used to go to St. Mary's like to the salts right there. Yeah, I would take the sled on the beach there and go up to walk down and get the chance to start shopping and use it for whatever

Unknown Speaker 34:25
interesting

Unknown Speaker 34:27
because you ever collect like rushes and materials around St. Mary's Granny's to

Unknown Speaker 34:33
make all kinds of baskets. I was telling them I really love picking apples. We never took buckets and tubs and cans, gun and nicotine to branch

Unknown Speaker 34:43
and if we pick very cheap leaves on the bottom

Unknown Speaker 34:47
what would you use for the branches

Unknown Speaker 34:50
whatever a

Unknown Speaker 34:52
leader

Unknown Speaker 34:56
know anything

Unknown Speaker 35:00
Saints

Unknown Speaker 35:02
were so resourceful because they knew like never placed on this end

Unknown Speaker 35:09
we forgot our flour and gasket goes up and

Unknown Speaker 35:14
down grind develop rich flour. Really

Unknown Speaker 35:19
true

Unknown Speaker 35:21
turn it wasn't the cameras I don't want

Unknown Speaker 35:25
the lovely thinking even cheetahs on cheap running

Unknown Speaker 35:30
wild rice wherever we went we had something there

Unknown Speaker 35:34
so this grant you're talking about this lady off again

Unknown Speaker 35:40
towards they were Trump analogous

Unknown Speaker 35:46
most of Salisbury you know that across a load store Ira there's a big long beach they're

Unknown Speaker 35:53
camping

Unknown Speaker 35:56
I don't know if there's a little island

Unknown Speaker 36:02
but there's a lot to go on at that level because it helps make the silver heads who in New Zealand and stuff like that

Unknown Speaker 36:09
live alone I think that's

Unknown Speaker 36:12
otherwise as I was telling him or anyone on this end of the island

Unknown Speaker 36:18
what's new in that he said it was canal

Unknown Speaker 36:21
that canal you

Unknown Speaker 36:39
right across from Croft and

Unknown Speaker 36:42
sort of goes in almost again yeah

Unknown Speaker 36:50
they

Unknown Speaker 36:52
I forget many names John has

Unknown Speaker 36:56
been away from the vision for nine years

Unknown Speaker 37:00
yeah

Unknown Speaker 37:03
no, there's another day up further somewhere in there oh

Unknown Speaker 37:07
boy up there. Oh, there's a deep bay there abducting

Unknown Speaker 37:11
that's another island that's him you know that I love that little island understand? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 37:18
That's a burial Island. I've heard Yeah. And there was a little shack that I guess the caretaker used to stay

Unknown Speaker 37:27
really on there and if you go there you'll find the women

Unknown Speaker 37:32
rather than

Unknown Speaker 37:34
Kevin there it was just a little sort of moving to Chef

Unknown Speaker 37:42
he'd stay there for a while because we had to take I guess those grades were there in undergrad as time I guess so. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 37:52
They find many grades

Unknown Speaker 37:56
13

Unknown Speaker 37:58
That's why you know

Unknown Speaker 38:00
and they figured it could be 1000 there

Unknown Speaker 38:07
yeah loves to me Tom. He owns quite a bit of cell stream because he had the four sisters Negev land vehicle

Unknown Speaker 38:14
I don't know where to stand

Unknown Speaker 38:20
it's a blessing

Unknown Speaker 38:23
because the reason they were given this land because of robbing us and they gave

Unknown Speaker 38:27
only

Unknown Speaker 38:29
his land to his sisters

Unknown Speaker 38:35
he had the Indian name careful on that.

Unknown Speaker 38:39
Who should be collapsible called collapse and okay.

Unknown Speaker 38:45
Yeah, I've heard that. And his father. There's a first new man first named and deliver mail today. He didn't

Unknown Speaker 38:55
deserve it was tricky Tommy did too.

Unknown Speaker 39:17
The tide went down.

Unknown Speaker 39:20
A whole bunch of muscle

Unknown Speaker 39:23
memory

Unknown Speaker 39:25
crunch crunch crunch.

Unknown Speaker 39:30
Shoulder

Unknown Speaker 39:31
apparently

Unknown Speaker 39:37
the boots are handy for making

Unknown Speaker 39:41
but mostly faces. That means can't.

Unknown Speaker 39:47
Like my grandfather, Jimmy George will go camping and he dig a big hole

Unknown Speaker 39:55
and we take them for

Unknown Speaker 39:57
help.

Unknown Speaker 40:00
So

Unknown Speaker 40:03
let's make

Unknown Speaker 40:05
them those that we shared

Unknown Speaker 40:08
a lot here it was founders to this whole sometimes

Unknown Speaker 40:13
they get trapped in the title

Unknown Speaker 40:16
people clamoring and efficient at the same time

Unknown Speaker 40:27
there is fish traps over there who didn't have to know because they got all

Unknown Speaker 40:33
and then on Connecticut where the

Unknown Speaker 40:36
tides are low had to

Unknown Speaker 40:39
walk around there and get cabs and founders

Unknown Speaker 40:45
rich area

Unknown Speaker 40:48
the most nice place in the evenings took what they wanted but they didn't know

Unknown Speaker 40:58
next you know I just met him again

Unknown Speaker 41:03
he's 101 guy last year for everybody or getting

Unknown Speaker 41:13
everybody will get some gentlemen

Unknown Speaker 41:20
I think

Unknown Speaker 41:26
we went down to Cuba and Canalis at lunch. We could go with our windows open our doors open to the beach in the clouds. Nobody was touching things.

Unknown Speaker 41:39
And Michelle was clean the

Unknown Speaker 41:43
dirt roads there. The

Unknown Speaker 41:46
Salvi was just like this highway out here

Unknown Speaker 41:49
and all goes to big branches we've actually

Unknown Speaker 41:53
seen people

Unknown Speaker 41:56
picked up some bad habits

Unknown Speaker 41:59
the rest of

Unknown Speaker 42:06
them

Unknown Speaker 42:08
couldn't eat

Unknown Speaker 42:12
so

Unknown Speaker 42:17
well I taught him how to make bread. Yeah, pretty good. Oh yeah.

Unknown Speaker 42:24
So what do you think about when you think about salt spray? I mean I know salt spray was kind of you know, there's no reserved there except for small sand. There was no reserve there but the Indians own land there and most of them had cabins and they use it for 10 years do you remember seeing those cabins in tents? Oh yeah. Like we're about to receive 123

Unknown Speaker 42:46
They weren't having to

Unknown Speaker 42:49
like lean

Unknown Speaker 42:54
to safety depends on how many you didn't mean very pleased for a family for sleep

Unknown Speaker 43:05
I was telling a friend of mine about that.

Unknown Speaker 43:08
It was Salt Spring Island

Unknown Speaker 43:12
and I told him about it you go down you'll find a fireplace

Unknown Speaker 43:18
the fireplace where was that? Custom Oh

Unknown Speaker 43:23
oh

Unknown Speaker 43:25
oh

Unknown Speaker 43:27
I wonder what is it?

Unknown Speaker 43:30
I guess so. It's the head of the harbor it costs us

Unknown Speaker 43:36
yeah

Unknown Speaker 43:39
on the other side

Unknown Speaker 43:42
it's Easter Churchill beach find these things

Unknown Speaker 43:47
yeah

Unknown Speaker 43:54
we don't

Unknown Speaker 43:56
wander there's there's a sandy sort of spit he goes south from Ganges like on the same site like most stores here. And if you continue like South there's a big beach but it's not the one on the other side of the heart of a classroom.

Unknown Speaker 44:12
So when you went there was a young person you'd have to look around for these

Unknown Speaker 44:18
fireplaces I know them but

Unknown Speaker 44:21
found all the rocks

Unknown Speaker 44:24
we built his was square I don't know why.

Unknown Speaker 44:27
But anyway, that should be still there.

Unknown Speaker 44:31
And all these places that you're looking for look around

Unknown Speaker 44:36
and find these things

Unknown Speaker 44:39
like the edge find a fireplace outside

Unknown Speaker 44:43
the rocks all around.

Unknown Speaker 44:45
You had

Unknown Speaker 44:47
never had stones inside in my van eventually going to stall for so

Unknown Speaker 44:53
long.

Unknown Speaker 44:58
You understand?

Unknown Speaker 45:00
She turns

Unknown Speaker 45:13
around to me What did she say?

Unknown Speaker 45:16
She was smarter

Unknown Speaker 45:19
because right

Unknown Speaker 45:26
where you are again there'll be people from all over there like

Unknown Speaker 45:30
other people because they all have tasers low in the face and

Unknown Speaker 45:37
everything

Unknown Speaker 45:39
they've made some claims

Unknown Speaker 45:48
were yes yeah

Unknown Speaker 45:50
and also Auggie told us an interesting thing I never really thought about make sense you have to keep working at clan beats or appears

Unknown Speaker 45:59
to speak about that a bit or oh yeah you'd have

Unknown Speaker 46:06
to turn the color

Unknown Speaker 46:10
yeah the black

Unknown Speaker 46:13
where we

Unknown Speaker 46:16
are on an island called

Unknown Speaker 46:21
butterfly

Unknown Speaker 46:23
hill

Unknown Speaker 46:32
we will pick the things that they should eat now we know the eight little muscles around TV

Unknown Speaker 46:48
and we look down like that where it goes through and

Unknown Speaker 46:53
after a while I've just

Unknown Speaker 47:06
eaten

Unknown Speaker 47:10
really children but you can't tell anybody that because of this

Unknown Speaker 47:18
so native people didn't even know

Unknown Speaker 47:23
every winter

Unknown Speaker 47:26
you hear on the radio

Unknown Speaker 47:32
and they feel

Unknown Speaker 47:39
yeah they feel a lot

Unknown Speaker 47:42
fuller

Unknown Speaker 47:44
stuff

Unknown Speaker 47:45
you couldn't see the bottom of

Unknown Speaker 47:49
the bathtub overnight

Unknown Speaker 48:02
the bias of people who see them as

Unknown Speaker 48:10
being in people

Unknown Speaker 48:13
may only only trends at a certain time

Unknown Speaker 48:19
May June and July

Unknown Speaker 48:24
the second time of the year they won't

Unknown Speaker 48:28
fund you they know how to they know how to use the land

Unknown Speaker 48:39
the white people

Unknown Speaker 48:44
I mean that nothing is white people but somebody

Unknown Speaker 48:53
that can eat everything out there destroy all the things that are keeping you safe and clean for us. What's going on?

Unknown Speaker 49:02
Like you said they only knew they don't

Unknown Speaker 49:06
need them. I've only been here like 150 years it's nothing that's why I started

Unknown Speaker 49:12
I want to go through so bad my dad

Unknown Speaker 49:16
said out loud

Unknown Speaker 49:18
but don't allow

Unknown Speaker 49:22
these muscles all around the

Unknown Speaker 49:26
waters

Unknown Speaker 49:29
just those little muscles. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 49:32
Let's see does it take those boundaries to

Unknown Speaker 49:39
make those kind of things your fingernails

Unknown Speaker 49:42
legs and sell them

Unknown Speaker 49:44
for some news bags and bags.

Unknown Speaker 49:47
Are people willing to do that?

Unknown Speaker 49:52
So the big differences you know between the native peoples in your period of 1000s of years, learned all this stuff. The newcomers don't know any they just want to quit

Unknown Speaker 50:00
Fuck yeah we never use if you tell them anything like the CPA exam we need to meet these urges I read that

Unknown Speaker 50:09
and there's two spots and each one are Mabel she was filthy. I used to my small

Unknown Speaker 50:18
kids five two respond to each one. And she said well now I will speak English

Unknown Speaker 50:29
and she went up for sure enough she slept for hours.

Unknown Speaker 50:33
So a lot of things that people use

Unknown Speaker 50:39
over

Unknown Speaker 50:40
the years it was always

Unknown Speaker 50:45
like, we had to go to Cannes for Baylor's bailing the boat

Unknown Speaker 50:50
they would go to the cedar tree and make

Unknown Speaker 50:54
beer

Unknown Speaker 51:01
I've got one at home do perfect just for ya scoop fits the pier with the boat

Unknown Speaker 51:09
and never face the Miss

Unknown Speaker 51:11
Galliano as they call it college she

Unknown Speaker 51:15
used to go and get washed

Unknown Speaker 51:18
cranberries are really in the north No no no.

Unknown Speaker 51:22
And not

Unknown Speaker 51:25
five miles Oh yeah, there's a lake in there. You know where the story Benefield yep

Unknown Speaker 51:37
Linda the

Unknown Speaker 51:49
cranberry cranberries

Unknown Speaker 51:58
many of these islands

Unknown Speaker 52:03
I mean, I've

Unknown Speaker 52:05
been the younger generation wants to build big clouds they can start a fire and

Unknown Speaker 52:12
cook a pot of clams you know because there's no fires allegedly any fire there which is crazy

Unknown Speaker 52:20
to me, I don't like it. You know I like to go camping and I like to play and I know how to relate to property if you can go back through history there was never one thing in US buyers that

Unknown Speaker 52:32
knew how to make a fire

Unknown Speaker 52:34
small fire I don't know how to build some big giant thing that's gonna burn the forest down

Unknown Speaker 52:51
and they didn't cancel

Unknown Speaker 52:54
because if we went anywhere we didn't have

Unknown Speaker 53:00
such SAS

Unknown Speaker 53:02
something nice to

Unknown Speaker 53:06
do

Unknown Speaker 53:10
and they never over hunted

Unknown Speaker 53:14
it takes us

Unknown Speaker 53:16
even with the fish they took

Unknown Speaker 53:20
I guess they used to hunt deer on Saltspring oh yeah

Unknown Speaker 53:26
it is the retreats and like pets coming up our driveway

Unknown Speaker 53:33
came up

Unknown Speaker 53:40
we just

Unknown Speaker 53:50
on Saltspring island

Unknown Speaker 53:56
so in the north

Unknown Speaker 54:02
oh I picked this up ages ago I don't know where

Unknown Speaker 54:07
but this this actually shows your old

Unknown Speaker 54:10
yeah like more of your old country like reed islands here. Now look at

Unknown Speaker 54:18
more way

Unknown Speaker 54:23
that's a long day your time you may call it I don't either. I don't know that's retreat

Unknown Speaker 54:29
for chiefs down here okay. It says that one was this one but I think it was a brilliant here what's

Unknown Speaker 54:37
yours Walker sickening. He would tell you about this gentleman like here's the big beach. Okay, I'm here right here the hill right there. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 54:45
And if you fight what do you call a name?

Unknown Speaker 54:47
In Your name is Caitlin.

Unknown Speaker 54:51
Okay. Now, you can research the Indian name.

Unknown Speaker 54:57
Which searching you name you get somebody to tell you what that

Unknown Speaker 55:00
mean you find out that oh man oh that face really worries oh here it says this fix right here all right he had a cabin right up so he was in the bay yeah he's a great done this last year was he a white man in Indian and Indian guy? Yes. Oh these people that had the farm here used to leech off him for $15 a year because I was there when they paid him 15 $1 bills

Unknown Speaker 55:27
I was there with my dad when

Unknown Speaker 55:29
with these two brothers

Unknown Speaker 55:32
we made the witness to pay him

Unknown Speaker 55:36
$1 That time trusted he lived he had to heal now he's about to finish yet there are so many houses out there now houses

Unknown Speaker 55:45
all built up that's where I live I live just still be here right across from the end of the close where he was

Unknown Speaker 55:51
Vandy lead guy

Unknown Speaker 55:56
I think there's

Unknown Speaker 55:59
definitely a new research that engineers new research engineers up face and you'll find that that guy there he owned it because the brothers that are this big farm here

Unknown Speaker 56:11
they used to lease off those would be the Caldwells that's the

Unknown Speaker 56:18
only two yeah it'd be them Henry to call my brother.

Unknown Speaker 56:22
Oh, that's very interesting. So you live there yeah

Unknown Speaker 56:27
yeah, there's a lot of big houses up here there's a big hill here just like you said. Yeah. And there's houses all over it

Unknown Speaker 56:34
was the only one they were not patient that really the big beach is way out here. He had Bandy legs Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 56:41
You remember the tax on that beach

Unknown Speaker 56:45
because he

Unknown Speaker 56:48
when they came there was no shafts and they had

Unknown Speaker 56:52
only make a bench wrench lean to

Unknown Speaker 56:58
extend the company to have to

Unknown Speaker 57:01
make it Yeah. And here this is where we're talking earlier about the other sisters is what the Samson's at their place. Yeah. Tell me about

Unknown Speaker 57:11
the neon the Samson's place

Unknown Speaker 57:17
quite a bit

Unknown Speaker 57:19
and that Jeff campus in here so where's the chap Canberra

Unknown Speaker 57:25
Stanford

Unknown Speaker 57:28
is this yeah there's a little island

Unknown Speaker 57:31
here okay.

Unknown Speaker 57:34
This was where the jet farm was there Okay, that should be in there to see some nice

Unknown Speaker 57:43
little Annapolis Netflix

Unknown Speaker 57:46
team guide also space okay Tommy telethia where maybe the guys from

Unknown Speaker 57:53
he's alright off that where it drops off right there was a Jake

Unknown Speaker 58:00
lingkod about this long so deep it is a

Unknown Speaker 58:03
well

Unknown Speaker 58:05
no, I guess it isn't blue so the reason yeah, I know that I know the cash is gonna

Unknown Speaker 58:16
go in

Unknown Speaker 58:18
like we had a Jeff can

Unknown Speaker 58:21
speak to the jabs couldn't speak Japanese understand. So they have to have this

Unknown Speaker 58:27
tongue scale effect for the capsule

Unknown Speaker 58:33
so he he dealt with the Japanese and as far as they were concerned, this was in the land all right. Yeah. So they didn't deal with a white man

Unknown Speaker 58:41
$15 A year sounds good to them $25 Wow. So how would that happen? I mean, they would just show up Could you explain that leasing process going and they find this place and they

Unknown Speaker 58:53
tell me they will find

Unknown Speaker 58:57
so much lease

Unknown Speaker 59:08
for whole year and every year

Unknown Speaker 59:12
because what you're saying is very interesting because that never gets in the history books. That part yeah. And you see what you're telling us is what happened on the ground? Yeah look at the Henry was telling us about races over here leasing that land

Unknown Speaker 59:29
just in yellow

Unknown Speaker 59:34
when they died, went back to the union. No, it didn't die he just gave us gave us a nice and

Unknown Speaker 59:48
interesting see that's how I got

Unknown Speaker 59:52
taken over by

Unknown Speaker 59:59
that's really interest

Unknown Speaker 1:00:00
State because

Unknown Speaker 1:00:03
they obviously didn't deal with this because most days the natives controlled everything Oh yeah set up a cabinet to beat certain federal aid some guys showed up I

Unknown Speaker 1:00:17
don't know about this fishing ability another example

Unknown Speaker 1:00:24
another scene boats I was told that

Unknown Speaker 1:00:29
my dad was the same boat captain Henry the soldiers

Unknown Speaker 1:00:36
when they would go up north they'd anchor in the Bay

Unknown Speaker 1:00:40
Shore enough to cheat if they could send

Unknown Speaker 1:00:48
Jesus

Unknown Speaker 1:00:53
My dad told me that time and time again that when they would totally like

Unknown Speaker 1:00:59
to cheat

Unknown Speaker 1:01:02
sometimes he knows

Unknown Speaker 1:01:08
nobody knows that where's that

Unknown Speaker 1:01:12
tone again? Geez yes oh yeah they here they here right here and right there. Oh really? Right in here right across all all this year you look they're trying to find this there's all kinds of messing around here show you see where the Indian people camp yeah and so which Island has the snakes tiny when

Unknown Speaker 1:01:34
there's a little bit here

Unknown Speaker 1:01:37
that little one like the way but the only trees on me is really small when no one had trees

Unknown Speaker 1:01:45
they have little silver heads

Unknown Speaker 1:01:48
remember in any name for those things

Unknown Speaker 1:01:54
so that's something you can put in because my dad been fishing

Unknown Speaker 1:01:59
down and up north

Unknown Speaker 1:02:01
he would go to the chief of the tribe and asked if he was allowed to fish

Unknown Speaker 1:02:08
okay and he said

Unknown Speaker 1:02:12
all along racial hero up

Unknown Speaker 1:02:21
on the boat

Unknown Speaker 1:02:24
no people don't know that. That's that's the old way. I mean, people knew that the land was owned by somebody Yeah. So do you think that happened down here as well? Oh yeah. See all these places that was leased out I was telling him all these patients had received in the people lived there for years as well

Unknown Speaker 1:02:50
all in the

Unknown Speaker 1:02:56
same way

Unknown Speaker 1:03:02
tell me

Unknown Speaker 1:03:04
not not at

Unknown Speaker 1:03:09
all that we can wait

Unknown Speaker 1:03:13
permission to live there and holding the boundary line over

Unknown Speaker 1:03:19
and over Nobody said

Unknown Speaker 1:03:23
on the phone

Unknown Speaker 1:03:28
that Mondrian and mark on my car

Unknown Speaker 1:03:31
when he

Unknown Speaker 1:03:36
when he talked with a friend of ours

Unknown Speaker 1:03:39
claiming land

Unknown Speaker 1:03:43
I don't because there's houses on this land.

Unknown Speaker 1:03:47
Use land farms and stuff.

Unknown Speaker 1:03:50
But what you do is you take the price of the house

Unknown Speaker 1:03:54
and it's a $20,000 what they call

Unknown Speaker 1:04:07
the 20,000.

Unknown Speaker 1:04:13
But what happens if they claim that land again?

Unknown Speaker 1:04:17
They say they can take a deposition

Unknown Speaker 1:04:21
that's a big problem for the native people here is that there isn't a lot of

Unknown Speaker 1:04:27
Crown land. Non private land

Unknown Speaker 1:04:32
but it's all owned by them. I mean whole Yes. But it also the crazy family who just throw this out there like

Unknown Speaker 1:04:40
they've been spending all this money on the treaty process. Why the heck are they just taking their money buying land with lives and spending millions

Unknown Speaker 1:04:49
of their own land? I mean, yeah. I mean

Unknown Speaker 1:04:54
it's just good. Lawyers. They're getting money.

Unknown Speaker 1:05:00
You

Unknown Speaker 1:05:05
mentioned Brian Campbell

Unknown Speaker 1:05:09
no no he's

Unknown Speaker 1:05:17
an anchor

Unknown Speaker 1:05:20
$100 An hour he's

Unknown Speaker 1:05:24
getting nothing out of it

Unknown Speaker 1:05:26
it's terrible. There was a meeting a few years ago where and elders did that hey would you like a cup of coffee or tea

Unknown Speaker 1:05:33
to make it most of the land sorry most of the land on those taken was leased by non native people and then they lived there for years and years and years and

Unknown Speaker 1:05:48
because they cleaned it through the white man system

Unknown Speaker 1:05:52
I don't know anything about it like the only did their baby

Unknown Speaker 1:06:00
lands claiming

Unknown Speaker 1:06:02
this is how maybe your great granddad got his land like Barb's descended from when Eden settlers who married a couch and Lady them alone the culture

Unknown Speaker 1:06:13
oh

Unknown Speaker 1:06:16
I don't know how

Unknown Speaker 1:06:24
to download the kidney

Unknown Speaker 1:06:26
that's a good idea. Because we've been trying to find there in the names. There were like three sisters Again, very similar to what you're telling. Yeah, but they were from helmets. Oh, yeah. And there was a cochlea? A silly name we know the cochlea? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 1:06:43
And then these two other ladies who were her ancestors we don't know their names

Unknown Speaker 1:06:50
Yes, you've done a door just want to know we knew her brothers

Unknown Speaker 1:06:55
maybe that guy was

Unknown Speaker 1:07:05
Indian and we haven't been enabled. I don't know what offense Ron George carries

Unknown Speaker 1:07:17
with it

Unknown Speaker 1:07:21
oh, that's the one you can retake

Unknown Speaker 1:07:29
Do you know anything of the Indian archives in Victoria? Yeah. A little bit. They have we used to have a

Unknown Speaker 1:07:37
Nanaimo

Unknown Speaker 1:07:39
and I went up there looking for some buddy

Unknown Speaker 1:07:44
when she flipped this book over

Unknown Speaker 1:07:47
she said hey

Unknown Speaker 1:07:49
no you're right thing I should know about myself.

Unknown Speaker 1:07:53
So she heard on the news

Unknown Speaker 1:07:56
and she had all the old Indian names in this book. And the

Unknown Speaker 1:08:01
really found their archives in Victoria summer it's a black book who has all the rights from long ago

Unknown Speaker 1:08:09
I talked to Rocky Sampson about and he told me that a lot of

Unknown Speaker 1:08:14
archival material was shipped to

Unknown Speaker 1:08:17
Ottawa

Unknown Speaker 1:08:25
that's very interesting. I looked that up. Because I saw all kinds of names in there that I recognized.

Unknown Speaker 1:08:32
Like they even saw him yesterday. He was by steam

Unknown Speaker 1:08:42
my mother's seamless we all

Unknown Speaker 1:08:45
so Henry, Eddie, that's me ever. So what's his name again? Steve. Do you mind

Unknown Speaker 1:08:52
Oh, yeah, I've got mine

Unknown Speaker 1:09:00
other words

Unknown Speaker 1:09:06
how do you turn the sun

Unknown Speaker 1:09:08
so low tech guy here? Well, that's

Unknown Speaker 1:09:13
not up technology

Unknown Speaker 1:09:19
like bank was Granny's first boy.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:24
His name was

Unknown Speaker 1:09:26
his name.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:29
His

Unknown Speaker 1:09:31
uncle.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:35
First

Unknown Speaker 1:09:37
of that family

Unknown Speaker 1:09:40
name

Unknown Speaker 1:09:42
was named after

Unknown Speaker 1:09:45
father.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:47
The second

Unknown Speaker 1:09:50
was named after NAFTA Granny's.

Unknown Speaker 1:09:55
That Indian name tells you where that name comes from.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:00
Who is named after and where he, where he comes from, but he's named after his family.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:08
Do you understand that? Sorry, can you repeat that please?

Unknown Speaker 1:10:11
Okay, if I had two sons now,

Unknown Speaker 1:10:14
their oldest son would be named after him you name after Iris father.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:21
A second son would be named after my Indian name for my father

Unknown Speaker 1:10:26
to join the

Unknown Speaker 1:10:29
family. So right now, you will search the Indian name you don't research the white name.

Unknown Speaker 1:10:35
Because when

Unknown Speaker 1:10:38
that happened, even though we were I was having Tony

Unknown Speaker 1:10:44
my cousins were

Unknown Speaker 1:10:47
Dell or Jack

Unknown Speaker 1:10:48
and Gloria was glory Domingo, their father's name because there's so many there on the island. There's so many families and for a long time I called my cousin bar Mrs. Jack

Unknown Speaker 1:10:59
because they had a brother Joe and brother Jim and father Domingo. And I didn't realize how stupid so that's how they got these funny names.

Unknown Speaker 1:11:10
Like Henry Eddie, Simon Andy,

Unknown Speaker 1:11:13
and all of them

Unknown Speaker 1:11:16
Simon son

Unknown Speaker 1:11:20
Joe Simon.

Unknown Speaker 1:11:22
And they took the Father's name to distinguish the families do understand they didn't use the last thing that's how they got these names.

Unknown Speaker 1:11:32
Which makes it confusing. Not really what it means for the English if you if you're just trying to like you were telling me if you told me that English names you know

Unknown Speaker 1:11:43
like Familia and all of my cousins their last name

Unknown Speaker 1:11:48
like my husband Jeff Kinser.

Unknown Speaker 1:11:51
Even his wife Mrs. Dad

Unknown Speaker 1:11:54
said that's because so many there's so many

Unknown Speaker 1:11:59
cousin Joe's wife whose job

Unknown Speaker 1:12:03
unless they had any kids learning less

Unknown Speaker 1:12:08
here's

Unknown Speaker 1:12:11
my brother Bobby continued and he

Unknown Speaker 1:12:15
told me

Unknown Speaker 1:12:17
Jackie was Jackie Jax

Unknown Speaker 1:12:28
isn't there

Unknown Speaker 1:12:30
no the Indian names me really?

Unknown Speaker 1:12:32
The whole essence of

Unknown Speaker 1:12:35
the key to it all.

Unknown Speaker 1:12:36
Yeah, those are the ones in your name.

Unknown Speaker 1:12:41
What's your name?

Unknown Speaker 1:12:45
Scope quality. We feel Squirrel.

Unknown Speaker 1:12:50
Squirrel squirrel gotta have like a mouse or multiple earrings

Unknown Speaker 1:12:58
that's the only way anybody can have you. phenom says again

Unknown Speaker 1:13:03
to hawk Korea to help we

Unknown Speaker 1:13:11
know that she was a cousin, a cousin or a sister. Oh, these two are my great grandma. This one Suzanne Suzanne and

Unknown Speaker 1:13:19
Mary marry Theodore Twiggy, Twiggy

Unknown Speaker 1:13:24
Berry and you must all be the point them because one of the people live and we will point is the people that had land they're given to them by the people that own I would say so. Like yes, she would have ownerships Great Grandma yes through the couch and

Unknown Speaker 1:13:40
and all these people were from llamas

Unknown Speaker 1:13:44
and Mary and John Burgoyne

Unknown Speaker 1:13:49
wherever they live, they own that land. What's your name? My name Yeah, barber barber wherever these people live the land was given to them by whoever owned it

Unknown Speaker 1:14:02
to you

Unknown Speaker 1:14:08
now it's all a part like you know the park that was created on y'all sorry

Unknown Speaker 1:14:13
burgling bay that saw the old

Unknown Speaker 1:14:16
property that her ancestors had it's all the park now.

Unknown Speaker 1:14:20
I don't even know used to be a great clamp down there. I don't know.

Unknown Speaker 1:14:27
Do you own that land?

Unknown Speaker 1:14:31
Not kidding. No, because on the reason

Unknown Speaker 1:14:35
there is because you, your grandparents were given that piece of land by the Indians.

Unknown Speaker 1:14:41
They only gave like my grandfather, Porky Joe. He was given land on the kind of my grandmother was an Indian from seashells.

Unknown Speaker 1:14:50
They were allowed to stay on

Unknown Speaker 1:14:53
the family and it was never to be sold

Unknown Speaker 1:14:56
to be sold. But my open Domingo's family decided that they want

Unknown Speaker 1:15:00
Tell us

Unknown Speaker 1:15:02
So who won who would have given your grant grandma grandfather the land there allows him to stay who would love to be shared setting you name that today I give your your land

Unknown Speaker 1:15:14
we're trying to find account plan

Unknown Speaker 1:15:19
allows you might know

Unknown Speaker 1:15:22
to Henry comes here a lot to visitors yeah but right now he's doesn't

Unknown Speaker 1:15:29
have a home it'd be great if we could come here

Unknown Speaker 1:15:35
yeah we went to see him today actually no one was there to see his great grandson and he said he was offered the doctors wouldn't be back to me

Unknown Speaker 1:15:45
oh yeah

Unknown Speaker 1:15:50
they should be carving them in salary. Because the only

Unknown Speaker 1:15:54
way and they tell the story of the whole person's life story with the time she was born. There was one total

Unknown Speaker 1:16:03
Slurpee and obviously are on the reading and this little lady when she was 12 years old, she had a book and that was right on the totem pole

Unknown Speaker 1:16:12
it was I started being right up until the day she died when they shouldn't be sold me blue and selling

Unknown Speaker 1:16:18
a friend of mine wanted to give me a total

Unknown Speaker 1:16:22
but the car was only carved me a bear

Unknown Speaker 1:16:25
because

Unknown Speaker 1:16:27
there was nothing evil about

Unknown Speaker 1:16:29
Chicago or anything else he would he wouldn't do it

Unknown Speaker 1:16:33
too dangerous. Why was it too dangerous?

Unknown Speaker 1:16:37
Because whatever is in that totem pole

Unknown Speaker 1:16:44
so you when you drive through Duncan and sailors totem poles what I call the guests

Unknown Speaker 1:16:50
because they got them all up there and

Unknown Speaker 1:16:54
the only good totem pole is in there is

Unknown Speaker 1:16:57
Rick Hansen, my nephew Corky Baines curve that

Unknown Speaker 1:17:03
that tells him that should tell you the story of redemption. From the time he was a little kid until the time he got into that. But

Unknown Speaker 1:17:15
that's interest that's the only poll I like the only other poll I like him ducking is the Maori poll

Unknown Speaker 1:17:23
that they had a Maori Carver come up here on an exchange

Unknown Speaker 1:17:28
oh

Unknown Speaker 1:17:29
oh yeah

Unknown Speaker 1:17:34
yeah, so he came up here and he thought you know he's been he'd been carbon some little bits in the ground as long as the Know Your carbon This

Unknown Speaker 1:17:41
is like the biggest thing he'd ever car because the New Zealand you know, the trees aren't as big as they used to be.

Unknown Speaker 1:17:48
There's only one Carver

Unknown Speaker 1:17:51
and then his, his family took over. Carving wasn't everybody carving. It was just now the car was all over the place. It does. Yeah. Getting back to that.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:04
You know, we were talking earlier about the house inelegant heifers in the old days, each house had its own kind of talents and specialties, the people that live there. Oh, yeah. Could you speak a bit about that? Or?

Unknown Speaker 1:18:15
Like when you mean 100? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they all had their own

Unknown Speaker 1:18:21
thing, as we call it today.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:24
And they have a hunter. Right now. My neck is Stevie Sylvester. He's a hunter.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:30
He goes out for deer and he'll divide that all amongst people.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:36
After seven, and he won't quit until he gets enough. Every family.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:41
They all they shared. They shared everything.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:46
There was some family big family there that didn't have enough food. The other people on reserve was going to give them

Unknown Speaker 1:18:54
we could still take it to them.

Unknown Speaker 1:18:56
Whatever they need, they will screw up. I know lots of times I was with Bernie and she this lady would come. They'd speak in Indian that she needs to

Unknown Speaker 1:19:07
burn a

Unknown Speaker 1:19:12
cup of tea or whatever she wants to leave. Or sugar or whatever she needed. They were like that they're really generous people who may help each other. But now I don't know if they do or not. Which dz I know he's 100 Over there. My husband just bought into the shelves on these shelves. So who does he have for the future? Which one? Okay.

Unknown Speaker 1:19:37
But they are so generous. They just like you know the Chiefs nowadays they don't look after the people. I guess.

Unknown Speaker 1:19:45
My uncle Mike under was his chief who don't

Unknown Speaker 1:19:49
say

Unknown Speaker 1:19:52
they were at the house we're having a separate enough came on the door. This lady was at the door crying was late at night.

Unknown Speaker 1:20:00
I had

Unknown Speaker 1:20:03
on for Mike he was a chief he got his coat is happening when else

Unknown Speaker 1:20:07
already store give her basket and she went all the way around the basket.

Unknown Speaker 1:20:15
roadie same thing give it to the band office and she went home happy he do that maybe 1020 times a day and help the people criticize the chief today you can find the client to analyze a meeting or in a meeting or something like poro Henry no he's got no home there's no chief to help

Unknown Speaker 1:20:35
there's nothing else

Unknown Speaker 1:20:37
was a time we were there and ready need warm clothes for winter and blankets.

Unknown Speaker 1:20:44
Mike goes down again. He opens up the stores and gets whatever she wants they didn't need I guess he knew all the store managers

Unknown Speaker 1:20:53
made sure they had everything

Unknown Speaker 1:20:56
that he does so that's my job sheet

Unknown Speaker 1:21:01
there's somebody coming up with a door they had no gas

Unknown Speaker 1:21:04
so money for cheese is sent over me you send out Ottawa every March it all depends on how many people in them

Unknown Speaker 1:21:15
I don't want to get no

Unknown Speaker 1:21:20
money for everything

Unknown Speaker 1:21:28
fancy homes rented cars

Unknown Speaker 1:21:30
underneath

Unknown Speaker 1:21:32
and I don't mind saying that because I know

Unknown Speaker 1:21:35
a lot of them are ripped off

Unknown Speaker 1:21:39
but I've heard that so many people a

Unknown Speaker 1:21:42
lot of people think the way you do yeah well one of the chief took means that he was the

Unknown Speaker 1:21:48
boy my cousin

Unknown Speaker 1:21:57
can really understand the bills and

Unknown Speaker 1:22:02
have an average day right he was

Unknown Speaker 1:22:06
nobody knows this has happened it

Unknown Speaker 1:22:12
wasn't like that in the old days. I mean what I understood it was ahead of every house was achieved

Unknown Speaker 1:22:17
and it worked together well they had they had achieved

Unknown Speaker 1:22:23
and apply the no central

Unknown Speaker 1:22:27
reserve there was a young boy

Unknown Speaker 1:22:31
seven eight years old

Unknown Speaker 1:22:33
his grandmother

Unknown Speaker 1:22:38
and his mother of all the place

Unknown Speaker 1:22:42
has changed

Unknown Speaker 1:22:43
so one day he went back to the pilot and they already came over to him Where do you get that? My grandmother gets here he was the chief of the tribe

Unknown Speaker 1:22:54
he didn't even know it due to this thing and

Unknown Speaker 1:22:58
she went to meet

Unknown Speaker 1:23:01
him he sure enough he did he stopped all of drinking the night homes

Unknown Speaker 1:23:09
remember where that was

Unknown Speaker 1:23:12
the North

Unknown Speaker 1:23:17
nowadays a pro I feel so sorry for Henry

Unknown Speaker 1:23:22
you know they should take reasonable they always say on TV oh we help they honor the elders or guidance

Unknown Speaker 1:23:28
that this elders told us

Unknown Speaker 1:23:31
and he knows so much like there's probably not many other people that would know as far about the history

Unknown Speaker 1:23:38
the last one there is I guess the last one that a

Unknown Speaker 1:23:42
lot of people

Unknown Speaker 1:23:45
know a lot about false being around because close to that

Unknown Speaker 1:23:51
told me more solid

Unknown Speaker 1:23:56
you recall your grandpa's checks

Unknown Speaker 1:24:00

Unknown Speaker 1:24:02
where was he from tomatoes

Unknown Speaker 1:24:05
Oh

Unknown Speaker 1:24:07

Unknown Speaker 1:34:31
The senators from main island

Unknown Speaker 1:34:35
chicken some tea and sugar and flour and everything we talked about.

Unknown Speaker 1:34:40
We're going to stay here and

Unknown Speaker 1:34:46
every place he went fishing.

Unknown Speaker 1:34:49
Alright, right.

Unknown Speaker 1:34:51
So the minister had some say about the land otherwise people wouldn't ask. And also your granddad had knowledge of the local customs. Yeah and the proper way

Unknown Speaker 1:35:00
is

Unknown Speaker 1:35:01
the correct etiquette

Unknown Speaker 1:35:04
Could you explain that bit about the clan beach again? I didn't have

Unknown Speaker 1:35:09
my dad when

Unknown Speaker 1:35:11
he was gonna ask the people

Unknown Speaker 1:35:14
to be clowns

Unknown Speaker 1:35:16
and made ask them how much wanted

Unknown Speaker 1:35:19
selling b2b Selling

Unknown Speaker 1:35:24
they wouldn't allow that to overtake

Unknown Speaker 1:35:27
and he wouldn't

Unknown Speaker 1:35:30
that's substantial Henry they didn't own the land Why did my dad and other people have to ask them if they could fish to Clemson

Unknown Speaker 1:35:39
so they must have known they own the land

Unknown Speaker 1:35:45
now they forgot about

Unknown Speaker 1:35:49
Yeah, I see I had a guy that was just living up there behind me

Unknown Speaker 1:35:54
sending him off normally around the road he comes to

Unknown Speaker 1:35:58
nothing new and asks Can I

Unknown Speaker 1:36:02
so I own the land same as

Unknown Speaker 1:36:05
so we must own the cost here because my dad

Unknown Speaker 1:36:10
is up to par as a foreign official but

Unknown Speaker 1:36:17
he didn't go that far

Unknown Speaker 1:36:23
I know one time he went up to clowns at Sky

Unknown Speaker 1:36:26
and he asked people

Unknown Speaker 1:36:29
who liked him

Unknown Speaker 1:36:35
it should still do it

Unknown Speaker 1:36:37
now you know

Unknown Speaker 1:36:46
