Discussion surrounds choosing a name from Sm’algyax, the language spoken by the Tsimshian people
Terrace city council has voted unanimously to give the new hospital now nearing completion a name in Sm’algyax, the language spoken by the Tsimshian people.
Gordon said that while the community has done a good job of commemorating the achievements of people who have made contributions over the decades, “there’s an element of the building of Terrace that seems to be missing and that’s the contribution of the Indigenous people in our area.” “It may be my age, but I think we have to have a little bit of history considered in here,” Downie added.
The advisory committee is made up of representatives from the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations, the city, the regional hospital district and members of the community. It meets behind closed doors and its minutes are not published. “As you know,” Bennett told Nyce, “the hospital is in Kitselas territory, and as such, I am hopeful we can work together to find an appropriate Tsimshian name for it as an important sign of reconciliation and hope.”
