Chief Danny Cresswell, Spokesperson John Ward and Chief Carl Sidney 31 people from the three First Nations attended the meeting about the “R.S.A.” Taan, Chief Christina Kane 33 yourvoiceyourgovernmentourfuture HACES Program The HACES (Heritage Art Culture Essential Skills Program) is just about complete, ending on April 26th, 2013. Students have enjoyed the program, experienced a lot of new things, and developed new skills. Through the 10 week program, students developed skills through the modules which included Steps for Success, Introduction to Community Heritage, Research Skills, Traditional Knowledge Management, Heritage Communications, Project Management/Personal Path Exploration, Land Based Heritage, Language Management, Caring for Resources, Heritage Interpretation, Digital Photography and Photoshop, Community Film Production (Wobbly Pop Productions), Presentation Materials and Website Design. One of the projects that they completed was a short film which the group produced, acted in, filmed, and edited. It was premiered at the community supper, everyone had a good laugh and it seems that some of the students have “STAR” potential. The students also honed their skills in researching, digital photography, computer use, writing, and interviewing. Several guest speakers have assisted the group with increasing their knowledge of heritage resources and professional standards of handling artifacts. In addition, students have learned a lot about their personal interests, learning styles, and working together as a group. Not to mention that in addition to finding ways to manage, interpret, and celebrate heritage, along the way they added to their understanding of local history and heritage. Overall the students have had a lot of positive things to say about the course. As with life we have had a few bumps in the road, which we consider a learning curve for both the instructors and students. The students will be completing a project to share with the community on what they learned through the program. On right: Haces students in communications exercises and making of the film ‘Big Chief Showdown’ with Wobbley Pop Productions. Many citizens came to the Heritage Center for the film, presentation. 44 yourvoiceyourgovernmentourfuture 55 yourvoiceyourgovernmentourfuture TTC General Council March 19-20, 2013 TTC Chief and Executive Council thank all General Counsel members for a good productive meeting and passing of the budget so that TTC can continue with the business of the government.

The Heritage Department has been out working on the trail several times this winter, pushing further each time. Several individuals have been involved in the work including Sandy Smarch, Tommy Dickson Jr., Daniel Smarch, Duane McGinty, Phillip McLeod, Darryl Sheepway (TTC Lands), Mitch Rolands (RCMP), and Brian Charles (TTC Heritage). The snow has been deep at times and the trail has been difficult to find in some places, especially through the burn area, but we’ve pushed through and have almost made it to the Yukon/B.C. border south of Grouse Creek (Figure 1). Figure 1 shows the extent of our trail work up to March 7, 2013. Figure 3 On one of our trips, Sandy pointed out a cache along the trail that his father, Doug Smarch Sr., and Harold Chambers built many years ago, probably before Sandy was born, when they were working with surveyors on the trail. Figure 2 shows the trail crew, Daniel Smarch, Tommy Dickson Jr., and Sandy Smarch having lunch on the Atlin Trail. 88 yourvoiceyourgovernmentourfuture Figure 4 shows the trail crew Tommy Dickson Jr., Darryl Sheepway, and Daniel Smarch stopped for lunch on the Atlin Trail. As part of the work on the Atlin Trail, the TTC Heritage Department conducted an interview with TTC Elder Sam Johnston. He told us that the trail was probably established by First Nation people as a short cut to Atlin where there were bigger stores and a hospital. Sam talked about the time when his father, David Johnston, carried the mail in the summer and winter between Teslin and Atlin in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Sam also said that the RCMP would use the Atlin Trail on their patrols with special constables and that Billy Fox was one of the special constables. The other big project that the Heritage Department is working on is the preservation of the Old House in the Village (aka Freddie and Nina Johnston’s house or Bobby Jackson’s house). After the building was cleaned out last fall it was closed in to keep the weather out and for public safety. In March, TTC Heritage enlisted the services of restoration carpenter, Garth Stoughton, to assess the building in preparation for stabilization work this summer. Garth has worked many years doing restoration work at Fort Selkirk and recently helped Ta’an Kwatch’an with restoration work on a heritage building at Upper Laberge Village. Finally, Greg Warrington and Jackie Smarch installed a tarp on the roof to prevent further deterioration of the building (Figure 7). You may have noticed it if you’ve been by the house lately. Figure 5 shows Duane McGinty and Sandy Smarch clearing some of the many trees we encountered across the trail. Figure 7 shows the Old House in the Village after having the roof tarped in by Greg Warrington and Jackie Smarch. Figure 6 shows Phillip McLeod and Duane McGinty taking a break at Grouse Creek before continuing on towards the B.C. border. 99 The TTC Heritage Department is gearing up for a busy season of work on the Old House in the Village as well as various trail work in the TTC traditional territory. yourvoiceyourgovernmentourfuture TTC’s Wellness Center Lyall Herrington BA, ACAD is the Wellness Counsellor for the Teslin Tlingit Council.
