PHOTOS: ‘This beautiful work’: Sts’ailes First Nation welcomes 29 baskets home
The 29 repatriated Sts’ailes baskets were formerly on display at the Kilby Historic Site.
“The history that’s here with us belongs to the Sts’ailes people,” he said. “Whatever’s embedded into the ground, surrounding our territory, belongs to the Sts’ailes people. I really want to thank those who are really involved in this beautiful work.” Sts’ailes Coun. Boyd Peters, Friday’s master of ceremonies, said the return of these baskets were vitally important to the people, particularly the youth.
The joy at Lhawathet Lalem was palpable. Boyd hearkened the celebration to a repatriation ceremony when a sásq’ets mask was returned to Sts’ailes years ago. Members of staff from the Kilby Historic Site and Fraser Valley Regional District Area C director Mel Waardenburg also witnessed the repatriation. Ceremonies concluded with celebratory dances from the Sasquatch Dancers.
