As I Remember It: Teachings (Ɂəms tɑɁɑw) from the Life of a Sliammon Elder

Chi-chia with Children Outside First Home

This page has paths:

Contents of this path:
1. Baby Baskets Baby baskets made by Molly Timothy (Granny Molly) in the early 1950s. The basket on the left was made for Jeannie, born to Elsie Paul in 1954, and has since been used for all of Elsie’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The blue design is made with natural and dyed cherry bark. The basket on the right was made for a daughter of Elsie’s Aunt Agnes, and the design is woven with dyed reed.
2. Pals
3. William in Sliammon
4. New Baby
5. Boat to Westview When this photo was taken, it was quicker to get to town by boat than by foot, since people didn’t have cars yet. Peggy Harry is at the back of the group (with barrettes in her hair); Molly Timothy is on the right (with headband); Elsie Paul is in the centre (with flowers in her hair); Stella Timothy is centre right, beside Elsie; further right, holding a baby, is Agnes McGee, and in front of her is sosən Galligos. Smokey John is on the left (wearing a hat), and lɑsɑ is in front of him.
