THEY CALL IT Squamish

Nation Day.

By Paul Hughes
Contributing Writer

It is a time when the people of
the 12 tribes that make up the
Squamish Nation come together to
celebrate as a family.

And come together they did. On
Aug. 27 nearly 1,200 people
gathered at Xwmelch'sten Park
(Capiiano Reserve) — elders, fam-
ilies and children, honored guests
from other nations.

They came to pay homage to
their cultural past and to join in
forging a plan for the future.

If you can compare it to any-
thing, it would be to the some-
what larger nation’s celebration
held two months ago.

“This is really our Canada
Day,’’ said Glen Newman,
proudly escorting me around the
grounds surrounding the Capilano
Jonghouse where the event took
place.

“People from all our occupied
tribes come together as one fami-

As with any family, problems
exist here too — alcoholism,
unemployment, uncertainty —- bui
on this day, at least, there is a
sense of closeness in the com-
muniiy, a power that if you could
somehow harness and introduce
into the rest of Canadian society
would do much to heal our frac-

Each young woman is required
to state her liopes for the future.
One wants to become a lawyer so
she can help her people.

Another wants to become a

Each common goals, but in-

shared necessity ta preserve a

Over 227 awards of merit were

After two centuries of struggle,
during which they had no conirol
over their future, the power to
shape a destiny has moved within
their grasp.

Elder, Bob George, an honored
guest from the Burrard band,
congratulated the Squamish Na-
tion on its achievements, and.
praised those among them who,

“not only watched things happen,
but made things happen.’

He spoke of the future, too.
urging everyone to use the best
from the past and the best from
the present as tools to carve the
image of the next century.

“Like the great thunder, we will
tise out of the sea," he said.

“1 will see these things come to
pass. So shall the next 500 years
be the greatest in our history.”
