Bella Bella Waglisla gikemi: gilakaatsla

Asked about the origins of indigenous families invariably they say their clan totem.

Waglisla says the fresh water foams as it flows down over the rocks. There were three floods and each time the Ark rescued the Gikemi. The word waglisla is older than Heiltzuk, being the protocol to trade, coming from Hail, as in Hail Ceasar, and The Salmon trade, in the Kitksan word, zul, which is both the process of preparing the salmon and all of the cured fish as well, hence zuk is the chief's food, the cured sockeye bellies. All this belonged to Potlatch.

The southern tribes suffered the 1700 tsunami. recorded in Japan the deluge swept this coast. The memory of that is condensed in thunderbird. Thunderbird wasn't seen but She rescued the survivors who still describe the details:

when Thunderbird began to run to gain enough speed to fly the earth shook causing slides on the mountains and creases in the land, and then long after it shook again, going like that until thunderBird flew and that made the wind blow so hard that the sound grew louder than thunder, and then all the little birds and their tree branches blew over the land toward the east, taking the sea out off the beach, and for a short time everyone was happy seeing all the extra beach with so much fish, then they remembered the roar was getting louder just when the sea crashed over everyone.

We endured those floods and will endure the flood of the church, which is even unbearable to the Planet. The people continue to say the ThunderBird went about and selected the chosen Families who remain now, carrying them to the places where Nature is most plentiful, and needs powerful souls to remain afloat in the current of the Christian flood. ThunderBird observes how well fed the poor are while others are mystified by the Olympic flames.

This site makes it formal demanding Iona Campagnolo surrender to James Russell Sterritt, in order that Ecology may smile and shine brightly upon XziXzia.
