Update From Sto:lo

As we draw closer to our official launch date, feelings of  joy and excitement are abundant here in Sto:lo territory. It has been a real honour to be part of something historical in the making and definitely something we will never forget. As a team, we have been quite busy doing our part trying to make this website the best it can be.

Wendy attended the Residential School Conference in Leqamel First Nation as a representative of our RRN team. She was honoured to share in the elder’s healing and equally honoured to assisted in a cleansing ceremony at the conference. It was a rewarding experience and one she will never forget.

Although Frank and Herb Jr were unable to attend, Wendy was present at UBC to attend the Grand Reopening of the Museum Of Anthropology and the Aboriginal West Coast display and represent our team here in Sto:lo territory. Several dance groups were in attendance as well as approximately 9,500 visitors in the 2 day Grand Reopening.

Herb Jr and Wendy have been busy conducting interviews with Rena Bolton-Point, Laura Wee Lay Luck and George Pennier. These interviews were recorded digitally  and were then uploaded onto the RRN website. We are also trying to set up as many RRN presentations as we can squeeze in between now and our official launch date.

We here in Sto:lo territory would like to thank everyone involved with the Reciprocal Research Network for an unforgettable experience and look forward to the enormous success of the beautiful work we have created as a team.
