GITXAALA BY-LAW #1 NOTICE - NOVEMBER 19, 2019

The Gitxaala Elected Band Council continues to enforce the Gitxaala Liquor

By-Law, which came into effect in a special council meeting on January 16,

1986.

​

How are we enforcing the By-Law?

> Chief and Council have taken extra-ordinary steps throught respectful

engagement with offenders, and support a healing approach as opposed

to a shame-based approach.

> Request for full-time Mental Health and Addictions support in

Gitxaala.

> Enforcement of fines.

> Suspensions.

> Requesting members to take active measures to address the barriers

such as education and training opportunities and counselling support.

> Hold Chief and Council accountable to the by-law and community.

​

Our approach has been through respectful direct communication and

encouragement to address barriers that drive the behaviors. enforcement in

the past has always been difficult and continues to be difficult. One of the

biggest ways the by-law can get enforced is by resoecting one another. Time

and time again, the Chiefs, Matriarchs, Elders, and Youth have asked for

this, and this is a sign to the rest of the community.

​

We look forward to supporting events that build community and fills the

human spirit so that alcohol is not longer a necessity. Moving forward, we

know we all want a healthier and safer community for our children and those

unborn.

Governing Council Update: Economic Developemt (Fisheries Reconciliation)

Economic development and joint ventures are ongoing under the management of C.I.C and the Business Manager.  Shell Canada and BC LNG Agreements were signed prior to April 2019 election.  The Impact Benefit Agreement Implemention Manager is Clarence Innis, and the committee consist of LNG representatives, Chief Linda Innes, and Business Negotiator Mark Ignas.  Projects under the I.B.A. include: Community Infrastructure; Cultural Center, Ferry transportation and Infrastructure for Gitxaala, and Lands and evelopment.  Opportunities are still growing with the LNG site development.  Members are strongly encouraged to participate in training and development opportunities if they wish to seek employment as potential careers as an apprentice. 

We are actively working to ensure a local economic development strategy in place to address local needs and concerns in relation to the local environment. 

On Friday July 26th 2019, Gitxaala Governing Council will sign a Fisheries Reconciliation Agreement which will support local employment opportunities within a new economic development model.

Skeena Sockeye Update

The Gitxaala Fisheries Program is closely monitoring this year’s sockeye return to the Skeena River.

The total sockeye return to the Skeena River is currently estimated to be 346,000. This estimate is based on the number of fish through the Tyee Test Fishery as of 23nd of July 2019.

Sockeye estimates breakdown as follows:

• Minimum of 400,000 for Conservation

• Target of approximately 600,000 for First Nations to open food fisheries

• Escapement of over 1,050,000 before any commercial fisheries

As a precautionary measure, at this time we are advising Gitxaala food fishers to avoid Skeena Sockeye until the return significantly improves.

Sockeye return numbers for other significant stocks in BC are also predicted to be low or are predicted to have late timing.

No Community Food Fishery will occur until the return of sockeye significantly increases.

We will continue to provide updates in the coming days and weeks.

Gitxaala Community Language Program

My name is Vonnie Hutchingson-Gamble, I am in Kitkatla to work with you to create a Sm’algyax language program that will bring together elders with all those interested in learning the language on a regular  basis. 

I am not the teacher; the elders are the teachers of the language. Together they are an amazing, dedicated team.

To help keep Sm’algyax alive and strong in our community we are building a structure to support all language initiatives.  We now have the following items in place:

• Elders who are dedicated and willing to share their knowledge;

• The support of the hereditary, the band office, the GEM office, the Continuous Learning Center and Lach Klan School;

• A place to meet in the old band office;

• Some material to support learning - books, dictionaries, CDs and tapes in Sm’algyax;

• An established writing system;

• The beginning of classes.

There are many supports and we are moving as fast as we can to put in place equipment and resources to produce more material in Sm’algyax. In addition to the elders in community, we will schedule Doug Brown and Beatrice Robinson on a regular basis to help in our classes.

Each session will include the following:

• the elders speaking Sm’algyax with each other - the learners hear the sounds in language;

• Short lessons on the writing system – the symbol and the sound;

• Everyday functional language – the elders teach the proper pronunciation;

• Sharing stories, adawx and cultural knowledge in Sm’algyax and English;

• At the end of every class participants can choose to talk about what they like, what they would change and suggestions for future classes.

It is the strength of the elders and the determination of the learners that will be the success of the program.

There is a lot to be done that involves hard work and on-going communication.  The vision is to create a community of Sm’algyax speakers.

Classes in Kitkatla are 6 to 8 every week night between ferries.  There is a class tonight, Thursday.  We will be posting a calendar with a schedule. 

Our next step is to create a program for town, we will announce the dates and times ASAP

Result of Appeal of Declaration of Vacancy

This notice is posted pursuant to section 11.18 of the Gitxaala Nation Custom Election Code (the “Code”).

On May 29, 2018 the Gitxaala Nation Elected Governing Council (“Governing Council”) unanimously passed a motion declaring Mr. Riley Caputo’s position on Governing Council vacant on the basis that he was “in violation of his oath of office and zero tolerance relating to Gitxaala Liquor Control Bylaw.”

Mr. Caputo appealed the Governing Council’s decision pursuant to section 4.15 of the Code and an Independent Arbitrator was designated to hear Mr. Caputo’s appeal. A hearing took place in Prince Rupert on August 9 and 10, 2018 in front of the Independent Arbitrator.

On August 31, 2018 the Independent Arbitrator released her reasons for decision. The Independent Arbitrator dismissed Mr. Caputo’s appeal and confirmed the Governing Council’s unanimous motion declaring Mr. Caputo’s position on the Governing Council vacant.

Potential Contaminants in Survey Bay, Banks Island: Preliminary Results and Recommendations

Gitxaała Environmental Monitoring collected seaweed and water samples from locations in Survey Bay, where possible contamination of heavy metals was most likely to occur. Water and seaweeds samples were also collected from the outer coast of islands further from Survey Bay to serve as reference sites as they were unlikely to be contaminated.

​

Based on a preliminary review of the sampling results, it appears that levels of potential toxins from seaweed within Survey Bay are higher than available standards. Given these results, Gitxaała Environmental Monitoring is recommending that no harvesting be conducted in Survey Bay and the immediate areas until further analysis can be undertaken.
