Sim-0i-Ghets

The House of Sim-0i-Ghets
is a beautiful native style long
house made of Red Cedar. It
was constructed in April of 1970
because tourists and locals
alike were looking for a place
where they could buy native
arts and crafts or where they
could find a fishing guide,

The construction of the
building, by the Tsimpsian
natives of the Kitsumkalum
reserve, was the idea of Mr.
Clifford Bolton.

it was done completely by
hand using an old 1956 Ford to
puil the timber out of the forest.

At first the people planned on
financing it with Band funds,
but half way through when
funds ran out, they applied for
government grant. The
building took one year to
construct,

Alex Bolton, Band Manager
and his wife Annette run the
store with assistance from
Vicky Roberts, .

The purpose is to sell
Canadian Indian Craft whieh
they. order from a pool in

‘9. Ottawa, sponsored by the

Department of Indian Affairs,
They specialize in leather
work especially moccasins and
jackets and all sorts of bead
work. Wood carvings from all
over Canada are very popular.
You can find authentic Iriquois
ceremonial masks. They have
beautiful birch bark baskets
from the Prairies and Cedar
work from Kitimat Village.
Apart from the miriad of
lovely Native handicrafts you
ean hire a fishing guide and
boat to take you up any of the

f many rivers in the area to fish

and enjoy the scenic country.

In one corner of the store is a
junk table. On it among the old
bottles and woven baskets you
can see some old instruments
which haven't been played since
1941. These come from the
original Village of Port
Essington, at the mouth of the
Skeena River, which was burnt
out about ten years aga after
which the reserve was moved to
it’s present location, Part
Essington was possibly the only
purchased reserve in Canada.
The instruments were found
recently in an old house in
Prince Rupert and arrived at
Sim-Oi-Ghets only two weeks
ago. It is assumed they were
the ones used by the Port
Essington Band.

If anyone is interested in
having a garment of leather
made they can order it at the
store. Many people are already
ordering their Christmas

-presents, The store will be
Staying open until Christmas to
accommodate everyone.

The people also teach classes
in Indian crafts with teachers
from all over British Columbia.:
Rena Point of Chilliwack will be
teaching wool spinning for
sweaters, they will offer classes
in wood carving, Cedar bark
and root basket weaving,
mocecassin making, bead wor
and Native dancing. The Band
has applied for a government
Brant to cover the expenses of
materials and teachers

. salaries.

So if you are interested in the
crafts of our _ original
Canadians, pay them a visit at
Sim-Oi-Ghets and I’m sure you

will want to keep going back.
