The Seabird Youth Resiliency Project

The Seabird Island Band isn't going through the type of youth suicide crisis that other First Nations communities like Attawapiskat are facing — there hasn't been a suicide death there in more than a year.

But Seabird Island is home to a pilot research project aimed at reducing youth suicides. The Seabird Youth Resiliency Project is federally funded through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and its goal is to create a model to take to other First Nations communities.

The idea behind the project is to build personal strength in youth by connecting them to the land and traditional culture that has been lost during decades of colonialism — to build an identity that gives young people a feeling of meaning and place in the community.

"We’re trying to teach our youth to know who they are," says Margaret Pettis, a Seabird Island Band counsellor and the elders' representative for the Youth Resiliency Project. (Rafferty Baker/CBC)

"It was taken away from us, it was stripped from us in the residential school. We were never to speak, we were never to practice any of our traditions we had in the past," said Margaret Pettis, band council member and elders' representative for the project. Pettis — who lost her nephew to suicide in 1991 and her brother in 2014 — said Seabird Island was a good fit for the pilot project because it already had a strong network of programs. 

"Our younger generations haven't had a chance to sit down to walk with us, to find out who they are, really are, to getting to take care of what they have in life," said Chief Clem Seymour, 62, who has five grandchildren of his own.


  'Walk with my elders'

"I had a chance to walk with my elders, getting to understand, to listen to them, to listen to the stories about why our people are still here, why we've been here for over 10,000 years." Seabird Island Chief Clem Seymour says teens need to be given the opportunity to "walk with their elders," to follow, watch and learn from them. (Rafferty Baker/CBC)


The program runs on Thursdays, and youth are placed with elders who show them everything from how to gather local edible plants, to where the best fishing spot are on the Fraser River.

Reid Peters, 67, has taken the teens out three times. Though he spent much of his life outside the community as a logger, his specialty is actually the local geography — but he can also show the teens the best way to pick stinging nettle to eat or use as an anaesthetic. "I came up and I showed them the river and what it was like 62 years ago and how much erosion has happened since then, and I just wanted them to know that we are losing our land," said Peters, gesturing to the shore of the Fraser River. "I showed them where the railway had blocked the river off and I showed them where the water had gone." Reid Peters, 67, has been teaching teens about the land and where the Fraser River used to flow around the Seabird Island community, which has been a peninsula for more than 60 years. (Rafferty Baker/CBC)


Michael Joseph, 15, spent most of his life living in apartments across the Lower Mainland, but now lives at Seabird Island and has recently enjoyed learning the traditional indigenous culture.

"It's a pretty good program," he said. "[We learned] many things what you can use with dandelions, stinging nettles, anything."

Joseph has recently taken an interest in drumming and singing and has reportedly show his confident side when taking part in performances.

Kelly has taken a liking to the project, too. "I learned how to make teas and a lot of medicines and a lot of stuff," she said. "It's just fun to learn new stuff and how to make medicines."

Buffalohair: Tribute to a Truly Great Humanitarian Robert Perske

 Tribute to a Truly Great Humanitarian Robert Perske


Through my camera lens I witnessed history and I also observed greatness, a true humanitarian & acclaimed author,*Robert Perske, champion of the innocent and the abused. If you met him you would know how inspirational he is and the battles that he fought for those who had no voice. But for me, he became my mentor, my personal inspiration and my dear friend.


It’s been a while now since Bob and I chewed the fat as he and his army of compatriots struggled fought and finally achieved the impossible, the posthumous pardon of an man/child **Joe Arridy who was executed for a crime he was incapable of committing so long ago.


Inspired by Bob’s book ***’Deadly Innocence?’, Screenwriter Dan Leonetti, Photographer Antonio Sanchez and Advocacy Coordinator Craig Severa set out on an impossible trek to clean the name of an innocent man, with Bob at the helm steering them through turbulence times and the many obstacles that lay before them through the years of struggle. Bob was and continues to be the guiding light for all that is humanity.


The momentum grew as more concerned human beings joined in the struggle to vindicate this man/child Joe Arridy. Eventually drawing hard hitting attorney David Martinez who through cunning and the professionalism that brought him success in the first place, placed a pardon on Colorado Governor Bill Ritter’s desk. Fortunately the noble signed the pardon and the rest is history, it took a decade to pull it off, but they pulled off the impossible and Robert Perske was the tip of the spear.


Guess I should call him Mr. Robert Perske for he truly deserves a formal title but if Bob was here he’d scoff at the formality. Bob is a very down to earth guy and a joy to chat with for his every word is true inspiration. What started out as some footage for a feature film turned into an epic journey into the mind of a true leader and humanitarian, Mr. Robert Perske. But if he were here he would kick my butt for being so damn formal!


Though I learned so much just from watching Bob through my camera, it was when the lights were all packed up and my gear was stowed away when I got to meet the real Robert Perske and it was refreshing to note he was the very same guy off camera as he was on camera. Bob is the real deal and should be considered a national treasure for all his giving and fighting for those who have no voice. Though I could never fill his shoes, I’ve chosen to walk his path. Like a squirrel following a the mighty grizzly bear, I will forever be in his shadow.


What was real cool, I became his student of sorts and would sit with him hours after engagements when we had the time to chat and I would savor his every word for I was truly learning how he fights for the weak and rallies the troops. Those talks are priceless lessons on how to achieve the impossible and hopefully I am going to do exactly what BOB taught me, to achieve the impossible and it’s all Bob’s fault, right Bob?


Robert Perske, you are my personal inspiration and I promise to keep the struggle for humanity alive and strong. I learned and I breath your wisdom and your words Bob, I to can also hear the cries of the weak and the innocent for it was you who cleaned my ears, I’m going to make history and it’s all because of you. Bob, you are the very essence of humanity and I got a bonnaroo teacher.

5 Reasons Natives Have Lustrous Locks: Ancient, Indigenous Hair Remedies
Have you ever wondered why Native Americans had resilient hair? Or ever asked why, when you see the old pictures of their ancestors, not too many of the older people had gray hair? Or why their hair was so long? Or why even the men had such healthy hair?

The answer is pretty simple and applies to every aspect of their life, which us as American Indians and Alaska Natives who we are. As a people, our ancestors saw their hair as a part of their identity. It was an embodiment of how they lived, just like everything that surrounded them. They gave respect to everything in nature, as you probably already know from history lessons.

For one they never used all these so-called “modern” hair care gadgets and products on their hair. They took pride in their hair and different hair styles represented different things in their life. Their hair was of great spiritual importance to them, and they took great pride in it. They had many natural hair care practices that kept their hair strong, thick, shiny and long. These include herbs, roots, teas, oils and infusions. Some of these are as follows:


1. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a great natural moisturizer that was used in every day Native life for protecting the hair and the body from the sun and other harsh weather conditions, and also keeping the hair soft and silky. This was one of the main ways that they used to keep their hair healthy. Aloes are also edible and very good immune boosters and toxic cleansers. They also ate this in their daily life to help them stay fit. These are just a few of the benefits of using aloe vera, but for an even longer list of uses… there is a pretty good article here that list some 40 different uses. Although that article is pretty current, it seems that many Native Americans were already with familiar with many of them.

2. Saw Palmetto

This herb is Indigenous to the Native lands and it formed part of their nutritional diets and also has very good medicinal value. The fruit Saw Palmetto is a scarlet red berry; they would dry it in the sun for days then grind it and infuse it into tinctures, teas and ointments which were applied to their hair to help strengthen it and also prevent scaly scalp – dandruff. Saw Palmetto also has properties that suppress the hormone that causes baldness, so taking it orally and as a topical application is one of the ways the Native Americans hair was kept so beautiful.


3. Stinging Nettle 

Most male pattern baldness is caused by testosterone being converted into DHT. The Stinging Nettle has been found to have properties that stop testosterone from being converted into DHT; this is the hormone which is responsible for hair loss in many men and some women. This plant grows wild and in abundance in America. The Native Americans used it a lot which is why you don’t see too many Native Americans with hair loss problems or having to get hair transplants. Since it grows in the wild, they would just hand pick it, (of course paying attention to the stinging, because it has a spiny stem) and infuse it into oils to moisturize their hair. They would also brew it as a tea for drinking. Stinging Nettle has K, B, and C vitamins and it also has a lot of amino acids and iron. Amino acids help with protein formation in your body and the hair needs protein to grow strong and healthy. Vitamin B and C are also important for healthy hair.


4. Washing & Protective Styling

They didn’t wash their hair and mess with their hair everyday so this allowed their hair to relax which is very important for hair growth. If you are constantly messing with your hair can hinder the growth. Their hair is also always braided. This is a form of protective styling that helps to keep your hands out of your hair. They would take it out and dress and decorate their hair for different occasions but, you would normally see one big braid or a French braid in most Native Americans hair and this helped to protect their hair. This is another one of those simple things that can have a pretty drastic influence on healthy hair that so many people overlook, yet many Native Americans have been aware of it for centuries. When visiting a hair doctor, or getting a consultation at one of the companies that specialize in hair loss and hair restoration like Bosley Medical… aside from genetic and pattern baldness, time and time again that hair loss is often caused by people “exhausting” their hair by doing too much to it too often.

5. Rosemary

This spice is known worldwide and used in many culinary delights; just like many other spices Rosemary has great benefits for the hair. It helps to promote hair growth by stimulating blood circulation in your scalp thus allowing the hair follicles to breathe and function well. Rosemary has also been known to reduce early graying. The herb was infused in oil, and the oil was rubbed into the scalp and then roots, and then the rest of the hair. Apart from the Native Americans, every part of the world has plants with natural properties that are medicinal and good for their health and once we realize that as humans we will value what we have and use what we have naturally growing around us to prevent us from the many common diseases that were unheard of back in the day.
