TERRRACE - School board chair Art Erasmus and the Coast Mountains School District bid farewell to longtime Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbery at the Nov. 19 board meeting, her last. Newbery, who decided not to seek re-election citing the long drive to Terrace, thanked the board for letting her do some “very un-trustee like things over the years”, like teaching the board a new Gitxan word every month and spending a minute for history at the end of each meeting, in which she would recount First Nations history to the enjoyment of those in the room.

NASS VALLEY - The four marching bands of the Nass Valley have teamed up into a supergroup and are heading south for the Grey Cup parade being held in Vancouver on Nov. 29. Marching bands have been part of contemporary Nisga’a culture for more than 100 years and the Vancouver performance is being heralded as a celebration of this enduring tradition that has become woven into the fabric of the Nass Valley communities. The troupe of more than 100 performers drawn from the bands
representing the New Aiyanshi Harmonic Silver Band, the Gitwinksihlkw Brass Band, the Greenville Concert Band and the Gingolx Concert Band will join other performers in the parade being held the day before the Grey Cup. According to Alvin Azak, a Gitwinksihlkw band council member and a member of that community’s band for decades, the ability of the community’s bands to join together is better since transportation improvements were made in the Nass Valley. “The culture is such that whenever friends or family are

celebrating or grieving we gather to celebrate or grieve. Each band from each community would travel and they would perform,” said Azak of the long history of collaboration between bands. “Now it’s easy, we join forces.” The big band is being called Majag-aleehl Nisga’a or the “Flower of the Nass Valley” and symbolizes how the various communities are working as one, both in terms of government and industry, he said. The Grey Cup parade performance will include one march song called the Great Call that Azak learned in the 1950s. Some members are flying

In addition to the Grey Cup parade, the band will also hold several performances in Vancouver.
