Welcoming T=A1=AFxwelatse

March 1 to mid-May, 2008

Public welcoming ceremony March 1, 2:00 pm

T=A1=AFxwelatse, an ancestor of the Ts=A1=AFelxw=A8=A6yeqw people, was =
born in the
distant past when things were not quite right. He was turned to granite =
many
years ago as punishment for mistreating his wife, who was charged =
thereafter
with his care. For generations, the women of the family looked after =
their
stone ancestor, who carried within him lessons about how to live and act
properly. In 1892, Stone T=A1=AFxwel=A8=A2tse was taken from his =
homeland and
eventually acquired as an object of study by the Burke Museum of Natural =
and
Cultural History in Seattle. In October 2006, after 114 years of =
separation
from his extended family, Stone T=A1=AFxwel=A8=A2tse was repatriated and =
journeyed
home again.  According to his namesake, Herb Joe, a former Chief of the
Tzeachten First Nation, "he will continue to do the job he set out to do =
=A8C
to teach."  Thanks to Herb Joe and his family, and the St=A8=AE:l=A8=AD =
Research and
Resource Management Centre, T=A1=AFxwel=A8=A2tse will reside at MOA from =
March 1
through mid-May, where he will form the basis of a high school program =
on
repatriation, and continue to share his message that =A1=B0we need to =
learn to
live together in a good way.=A1=B1

On Saturday, March 1 at 2:00 pm, the Museum of Anthropology, the =
T=A1=AFxwel=A8=A2
