Pole Raising Ceremony
February
17 between 2 pm and
4
pm
to
commemorate the opening of the
One
Moon Gallery
To
honor artist Darlene Gait
The
Esquimalt Nation honors Darlene Gait , one of
its members on Saturday February 17 between 2 pm and
4 pm with a
Totem Pole Raising Ceremony to commemorate the opening
of the One Moon Gallery to showcase her paintings
and art. The Gallery is located at 1192 Kosapsum
Crecent directly across the new buildings of the Band
Council and the Long House on the Esquimalt Reserve.
The
ceremonies will include a presentation by Lou
Charlie, an elder representing the Band, a
Native Dance group from Esquimalt, as well as the
presence of Chief Andy Thomas as well as Coast
Salish artist Doug La Fortune who carved the
pole, and other members of the Esquimalt
Nation and community at large.
The
pole is a gift from George Thomas to
his sister Anna Marie Gait, both of whom are elders of
the Esquimalt Nation. The pole was originally carved
and presented in honor of Rob Thomas and Joe Thomas
who were the best friends of Doug La Fortune. It
represents an eagle and a dragon which remembers the
spirit of those being honored.The pole will be placed
in front of the One Moon Gallery and dedicated to
all the people of the Esquimalt Nation.
Darlene
Gait is an accomplished First Nation artist who began
painting as a child. Darlene's paintings and poetry
celebrate her love for her Coast Salish culture and
her images bring to life the rich traditions and oral
history of the First People of the north west. Her art
also reflects her passion for protecting the
environment and wildlife, as well as her Baha'i
beliefs in the oneness of humanity and the beauty of
its diversity. Her work is unique in that it is
created with emotions that allow the viewer to connect
and relate to the stories told through her brush.
Darlene
is recognized internationally, her art is exhibited
and held in private and public collections worldwide.
Her art has been featured on the cover of
national publications in the United States and her
images are published by Rizvan Fine Arts, Island Art
as well as Orca Publishing. Darlene has completed many
commissions as a book illustrator of Native stories
for children, including the best seller 'The
Secret of the Dance' written by Andrea Spalding and
Judge Alfred Scow, which takes readers back to a
time when the Potlatch was once banned in Canada.
Darlene's
paintings are often inspired by her vivid dreams. She
believes her dreams must be captured by her brush and
poetry and then shared. Darlene feels bound by the
responsibility to depict all her images with
scientific and historical accuracy, as she considers
her art to be part of the oral history of her culture.
She is self taught and has studied commercial
illustration, graphic design and multimedia.
Darlene
Gait has received many awards including The Book
Illustrator of the Year Award, Verse and Vision
Peoples Choice Award, and The Aboriginal Achievement
Foundation Award, to name a few. Her exhibitions have
received wide press and television coverage. Darlene
is an invited member of the Worldwide Nature
Artists Group (WNAG) , the world's foremost
international organization of nature artists,
dedicated to the celebration and preservation of our
natural heritage, and includes such prominent
artists as Robert Bateman , John Banovich, Gamini
Ratnavira, and David Shepherd .
Darlene Gait
lives in Vancouver Island, with her family.
She supports many non-profit organizations through
volunteering and through her donations of art. She is
an active member of the of Art for Development
Foundation as well as Partners For Prosperity. ¨

Gouchie www.mikegouchie.com

how much you have ...rather on how much you give
& we intend to give our best show to date this
year.Proceeds from our event will go to support and
launch a new program to invest in our youth.We want
to base this program on solutions and allow our
first nations youth to discover there untapped
potential.I know first hand the struggle to find
self in a ever changing world where culture is
difficult to hold onto.I was always told that
strength grows out of struggle and as long as we
feel victimized in life there is no room for
growth.When I first started to organize these events
I saw that our artists and cultural practices were
limited in Nanaimo.I envision this event to become
the largest gathering of its kind on Vancouver
Island and will continue to support the artist for
years to come.
We also intend to develop long term partnerships
with local business,Tourism and the community to
show potential visitors from all over the world that
Nanaimo supports a strong multi cultural and diverse
society.

The
Ravens and Eagles Gathering
Today,
few art forms in the world attain the notoriety or stature of instant
recognition. Northwest Coast Native Art does. Classed with such ancient art forms as Egyptian and Roman art
Northwest Coast Native Art is one of the strongest and most definable art forms
known to man. Imagine though,
unlike the Egyptians and Romans, we are fortunate to view this art while it is
still a living art form.
Here
is your opportunity! Visit the
Ravens and Eagles Gathering at Nanoose community centre this March 31st
to April 2nd . Participants
of this juried event include Eli Milton, master toolmaker; Henry Green, Master
carver; Gordon Dick, Gold/Silversmith and many other artists from
throughout British Columbia.
Come
and see artists at work!! This year
we will have sculptors, painters, carvers, toolmakers and other specialty
artists in attendance and working on-site.
Not only are many of the artists in attendance not usually in the public
eye but also this will be a unique opportunity for the public to see projects
that may otherwise go unseen. There
will be a wealth of knowledge at the gathering and questions are always welcome.
This
event was such a success last year that an additional day and more events have
been added this year. We are
excited to be hosting a fashion show with beautiful, hand-made coutures by local
artist Bill Helin. Don’t miss it!
Friday, March 31st at 7:30pm, at Nanoose Community Centre.
The
Ravens and Eagles Gathering is proud to be part of the 16th annual
Brant Wildlife Festival. Admission
is $5 at the door. All proceeds

JOURNEY
TO 2010
First
Nations
Artists
to Gather in Whistler February
25, 26, 27th.
This past decade has seen a tremendous swell of
pride in the native art community encouraging an
unprecedented sharing and camaraderie amongst
artists and carvers of different nations.
This gathering of First Nations
artisans from tribes across the province will be “AWAKENING
THE SPIRIT” of pride,
in ageless crafts and native traditions, all in
the exquisite mountain setting of the Fairmont
Chateau Whistler.
Well known Manama
artist,
Fred Anderson
Jr. had a great idea. His exhibition encourages
artists from various communities to join together
to acknowledge and celebrate the unique talents
they offer. Well known artists such as Harold
Alfred and Chief James Speck will feature the
highest quality First Nations art available on the
market today.
”Prominent artists from
Alert
Bay
to Victoria and Bella to
Vancouver
are reserving their space for the event”, said
Anderson
, “and it wont be long before we reach our
capacity”.
“It is our goal to represent every First
Nations band on
Vancouver Island
and many from the mainland”.
As a result, the 4th
weekend in February, the
Fairmont
will host the top names in the BC First Nations
art world.
For
three days the
Fairmont
Chateau
Whistler will ROCK!
There will be drumming, singing, dancing
and the most amazing collection native art in one
place at one time.
The public will have a extraordinary
opportunity to meet top artists, painters,
carvers, jewelers, fashion designers and see their
works first hand, even bid on pieces in the silent
auction if they so choose.
“Rising stars” will display
their wares next to world renowned artists such as
Nancy Dawson and Joe Wilson, and last word is that
collectors are coming from across
Canada
and the
US
just to be there,
...and here we sit, front row, center for this
performance!!!
The doors will open to visitors from 10 am to 9 pm
daily and through these doors visitors will be
treated to a first hand glimpse into another
culture, and another era.
Daily Admission to the ballroom is $3.00 per
person.

International
Indigenous Speakers to Share Business/Economic
Experience
Vancouver,
October 26, 2004 -
Native
American and Maori speakers (New Zealand) will be
sharing the international spotlight at Resource
Expo 2004. A who's who of Aboriginal
Canadian -- First Nations, Inuit and Metis-, Native
American and other international indigenous leaders,
along with top business and government officials will
converge on Vancouver, British Columbia on Nov. 7-10,
at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver for Resource
Expo 2004.
This is the largest Aboriginal
resource/business event in Canada featuring a major
conference, trade show, gala dinner and the National
Aboriginal Business Association's 3rd
Annual Golf Tournament.
In
1971, U.S. Congress passed the Alaska Native Claim
Settlement Act, and paid almost $1B and transferred 44
million acres of land to Alaskan tribes to settle
outstanding land claims. Over 220 village
corporations, 13 regional corporations and 12
land-owning corporations were formed to manage and
develop these assets. After 30 years there have been
many challenges, some failures and growing successes. Matthew
Nicolai, President & CEO, Calista Corporation will
speak to participants at Resource
Expo 2004 about
the dynamic growth of Native American business
in Alaska since treaty settlements that have resulted
in over $3 Billion in annual revenues and $3 Billion
in assets for tribes to date. There are sure to be
many lessons to be learned in Canada and the U.S.
from this experience.
From
New Zealand, the distinguished Maori leader, Te
Taru White, Kaihautu (Maori leader and co-leader)
of the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa
Tongarewa (Te Papa), will articulate a view of the
Maori experience in economic development and
associated cultural issues.
Mr. White has an enormous range of private and public
sector experience. In addition, he will
examine how Maori have developed resources and businesses
under their treaty settlement
regime. Mr. White will also discuss a recent national
study that assesses the impact of Maori on the wider
New Zealand economy and whether Maori are net economic
contributors. He will be accompanied by respected
Maori Kaumatua (elder), Pihopa
Kingi, a past protocol advisor to a Canadian
Aboriginal trade mission to New Zealand.
Resource
Expo 2004
will also feature a presentation from Jackie Gant,
Executive Director of the Native American Business
Alliance, an organization that promotes business
opportunities between the private sector and Native
American corporations. Ms. Gant will present on the
entrepreneurial activities of Native Americans-a group
that only makes up 1% of the national population but
controls about $31B in disposable income.
Specifically, she will discuss opportunities for
Native American and Canadian Aboriginal companies to
access procurement opportunities with corporations
belonging to the National Minority Supplier
Development Council-an organization that in 2002
purchased over $72B from minority suppliers in the
U.S.
Dave
Tuccaro,
President of the Canadian-based National Aboriginal
Business Association, states that "The whole
purpose behind events like Resource
Expo 2004 is
to share knowledge, experiences and to promote the
creation of wealth for the benefit of all
parties."

uPCOMING HEMISPHERIC INSTITUTE ENCUENTRO, MARCH 2005,
BRAZIL
The Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics
is now planning its next Encuentro in Belo Horizonte,
Brazil, which will take place from the 11th to the 19th
of March 2005. The title of our upcoming Encuentro will
be "Embodied Memory: Contemporary Indigenous
Performance", and it will consist of three large
umbrella topics that will conceptually frame the
keynotes, seminars, performances, and workgroups: 1)
Intangible Heritage; 2) Cultural Agency, and 3) Arts and
Markets. Although the title of the Encuentro features
Indigenous communities, there will be an emphasis on
community organizing in general, to explore the
different shared spaces of solidarity/intersection
between Indigenous groups and migrants, exiles, and
other de-territorialized (& re-territorialized)
people. The official Encuentro Call will be posted on
this site (and sent to our mailing list) at the end of
June 2004.

NATIONAL ABORIGINAL HEALTH CONFERENCE ATTRACTS MAJOR INTEREST
1st Annual Health Expo 2003
Aboriginal Health Care in the 21st Century
November 26-28, 2003
Sheraton Cavalier Hotel, Calgary AB
__________________________________________________________________
Billions of dollars are spent each year on the provision of healthcare services and products to approximately 1.4 million Aboriginal Canadians-the fastest growing ethnic population in Çanada. While health and wellness is a top priority, the recent Royal Commission on Aboriginal Affairs noted that: "...despite large sums spent on illness care, Aboriginal people still experience ill health at unacceptable levels". It noted further that
"Twenty-five years of effort by local, provincial and national health caregivers have raised Aboriginal health status from the lows to which it had sunk by mid-century. Still, the results fall far short of the goal of equal health outcomes for all Canadians."
Health Expo 2003 is the first of an annual national forum intended to closely explore key issues in the Aboriginal health care industry. It will provide an opportunity to constructively examine challenges and leading-edge innovations in the area of the delivery of health care services to Aboriginal Canada.
Health Expo 2003 will bring all of the players in the Aboriginal health industry together, from health Ministers to community health professionals, and will provide a forum for open, constructive discussion. What are the challenges, the opportunities for improvement in efficiencies and cost savings? Who needs to be involved to effect uniform and constructive change? It is also time to examine leading-edge telehealth and advancing technologies that can provide enormous convenience and cost-savings to the many remote Aboriginal communities. It is also time to examine how the private sector can become usefully engaged in improving the health care system for Aboriginal people in Canada.
Health Expo 2003 will provide the occasion to:
share information,
network,
find real solutions, and
identify substantial health industry opportunities.
With the dynamic and rapidly growing Aboriginal population the time is now to be a part of the new era health care for Aboriginal Canada.

their fires.
These are the

this bittersweet

1st Annual International
Aboriginal Festival
The International Aboriginal
Festival – ‘ALL NATIONS UNDER ONE SKY’ Nov 30 - Dec 1, 2
We need your help and support to make this unique event an
ongoing reality!
Feel free to visit our websites at http://iafcan.tripod.ca and
http://canoeca.tripod.ca for more information on ways that you
can help. I
am sure you will agree that this type of educational gathering is a
worthwhile venture that is long overdue.
Please take a moment of your time for a quick response to this email
with
your thoughts, concerns and support. This will encourage the
sponsors and
organizers that this gathering is valuable to people from all over
the
world.
1st Annual International Aboriginal Festival
The International Aboriginal Festival – ‘ALL NATIONS UNDER ONE
SKY’ -
Preventing Racism - is a non-political, cross-cultural family event
that
offers something for everyone. It is a time for all nations to share
and
learn about Indigenous cultures. People of all ages and
nationalities will
enjoy the many activities this festival has to offer.
North America contains a myriad of international Aboriginal
cultures but
market research indicates that a definite gap exists between
Aboriginal history lessons and reality. Not
only in Canada, but the world over.
The International Aboriginal
Festival will provide the vehicle to enable every
person participating or visiting, to take a powerful, giant step in
the
right direction towards bridging this disparity. Discovering new
ways of
overcoming this inequality, in any form, is a positive goal. The
purpose of
this international gathering is to gain enough information to
encourage
others to pursue new avenues in the education of international and
national
discrimination.
“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and
we must
understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value.
“
– Gord Downie
The dates and location are; November 30, December 1 & 2, 2001
Ottawa, ON
CANADA and will include; an International Elder’s Gathering, an
Educational
School Day, an International Women’s Support Group Gathering, an
International Pow Wow, an International Aboriginal Talent Showcase,
an
International Demonstrators, Crafters and Artists showcase and a
Travelers/Tourism Informational Gathering and much, much more.
I hope you will consider being a part of this important, unique and
exciting
event.

PROJECT OUTLINE
Call for sculptors
“Art can never be understood, but can only be seen
as a kind of magic,
the
most profound and mysterious of all human activities.”
Bill
Reid (1920 – 1998) Canada’s preeminent Haida Sculptor
The Okanagan/Thompson International Sculpture Symposium Society, a
non-profit organization will host the largest cultural
extravaganza to be held in North America – the International
Sculpture Symposium 2002 (ISS 2002).
The aims and objectives of the symposium:
To promote arts and culture in the Okanagan/Thompson Region and in
Canada;
·
To promote a beneficial climate of cooperation and partnership between
artists, businesses, government and the general public.
·
To promote art appreciation in educational facilities.
The symposium will be made up of three groups of sculptors. Group
one will consist of fifteen (15) Canadian Sculptors. Six of
which will be invited local artists, and the remaining nine
selected by the Symposium Adjudication Committee. Group
two will consist of ten (10) International Sculptors selected
by the Symposium Adjudication Committee.
Artists in both groups will each be commissioned to create one
major piece of sculpture in either stone, marble or wood and, when
completed these works will remain in the Okanagan/ Thompson region
as part of the public art heritage.
A third group, Group Three
will consist of approximately eighty – one hundred
non-commission sculptors who will work in venues, along side
commissioned artists and will participate fully in the symposium.
First Nation people have a rich cultural heritage and their art
works are permanently housed in museums, purchased by private
collections world-wide. The Okanagan Nation Alliance (7 bands)
will invite artists from the Americas to this spectacular event.
Canada is home to people around the world and they have added to the
rich fabric of culture, which fosters an appreciation of the
complexity as well as the interconnectedness of cultural legacies.
These gifts of art for the Okanagan-Thompson Region will be a
permanent reminder of the generosity of artists as well as
benefactors to local resident and visitors of the contribution.

Celebration 2000 slated for June 1-3, 2000
in June
The Sealaska Heritage Foundation’s
Celebration 2000 is expected to be one of the State of Alaska’s
grandest Alaska Native cultural events. This millennium event will
feature over fifty dance group performances, as well as an Alaska
Native Arts Market, Cultural Workshops, Canoe Racing and a Parade
through downtown Juneau.
Celebration is a biennial gathering of Alaska
Natives, which exemplifies the dynamics of Tlingit, Haida, and
Tsimpshian traditional cultural activities including singing, dancing,
storytelling, and visual art.
Celebration began in the early
1980’s out of the Sealaska Heritage Foundation’s Board of Trustees
desire to celebrate and show case Southeast Alaska Native traditions
and customs. Since then Celebration has been an effective vehicle to
encourage individuals, families, clans, and communities to participate
in traditional singing and dancing, arts and crafts, and Native
languages. It has become one of the largest gatherings of Southeast
Alaska peoples and the second largest gathering of Alaska Natives in
the State of Alaska.

Historic exhibition offers cultural experience
The Out of the Mist exhibit in Victoria provides the visitor with the perfect
opportunity for a weekend cultural escape to the west coast of Vancouver Island. After
viewing the exhibit, visitors can enjoy the world renowned First Peoples Gallery on
the museum's third floor. Then, relaxing in the Museum Cafe, visitors can sample
traditional Nuu-chah-nulth cuisine with a modern twist, such as salmon in puff
pastry and a dessert built around wild berries. The National Geographic IMAX Theatre
will complement the exhibit by focussing on two creatures central to Nuu-chah-nulth
mythology with the film Whales and, beginning in late September, a film on one of
the most elusive creatures on earth -- Wolves. The special Out of the Mist
Gift Shop will be offering exquisite contemporary Nuu-chah-nulth works of art,
including prints, masks and jewelry. The museum's programming department will kick into
gear this fall with monthly themed events centred on Nuu-chah-nulth song, dance,
carving and basket making. |

Ancient sun mask will shine on big VAG show, June 4
to Oct. 12
By Suzanne Fournier
Staff Reporter The Province
Nuxalk mask carver Harvey Mack helped Vancouver Art Gallery
curators yesterday uncrate an ancient sun mask that will be the signature piece for the
major summer show.
Carved in alder by an unknown Nuxalk 120 years ago and
stained with vermilion obtained in trade from the Orient, the sun mask lit up an
unfinished gallery.
"We get our dances from the sun, so we dance from the
east to the west to represent the way the sun rose. That's different from all the other
first nations," explained Mack, who carves for ceremonial occasions and not for sale.
All the First Nations cultural groups on the West Coast had
a great mythic ancestor who came from the sky, and when he landed on Earth he would
shimmer with a certain aura," explained Peter Mcnair, a guest curator retired after
30 years at the Royal B.C. Museum. "The concept of coming down from the shimmering
sky is nearly universal on the West Coast."
Among the gallery's most ambitious exhibits, the June 4 to
Oct. 12 show, Down From the Shimmering sky: Masks of the Northwest Coast, together 175 old
and contemporary masks obtained from 35 private collections and 22 museums in Canada,
Europe and the U.S.
The Nuxalk sun mask was acquired in the early 1900s by
George Hunt, a Kwakiutl employed by anthropologist Franz Boas, who plundered and shipped
native artifacts all over the world.
(Mack observed: "If they hadn't been stolen and kept
by museums, we'd never have them today.")
The exhibit, aided by $200,000 from Scotiabank, will be
divided into five groups. The first looks at Human Face masks from the 1820s to the
present, the rest at how First Nations perceived the cosmos.
Curated by Mcnair, the VAG's Bruce Grenvill and
Kwakwaka'akw Chief Robert Joseph, the exhibit also will showcase the work of modern
carvers Joe David, Robert Davidson, Doug Cranmer and Tim Paul.

First Nations Artist Conference
The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre is hosting an First
Naions Artist Conference on August 19th and 20th. It
will be held at Wanuskewin Heritage Park and will cover topics that you may be interested
in as an artist. Many of the artists that we talk to seem to be interested in knowing how
to deal with galleries, grants, promotion of their work and also in discussing common
issues with other artists. These things will be included in our conference and if you
would like additional info please contact;
