Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw Cultural Program

Sara Fulla speaks to K'odi Nelson about teaching children from Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw traditional ways of living.

The Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw has a harsh history due to the Canadian Government relocating them from their traditional territory in the 1960’s. K’odi teaches his children language, songs and dances, traditional food preparation, cedar bark stripping, and anything cultural. Through his work at the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw school, he shares his knowledge of cultural ways of knowing and being with the children in his classes.

They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
