Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun, is the Coast Salish artist behind the new artwork for the Beban Park Pool grounds. Because the pool’s playful water features are  shaped like frogs and fish, the project explores the theme of the estuary. Inspired by the  Nanaimo River Estuary, Eliot designed giant wall paintings and a series of colourful fabric banners  about the life that exists here in Nanaimo, on the lands of the Snuneymuxw people. This vibrant  artwork honours and celebrates waters, land, plants, animals and humans, and points to how  all of these elements are deeply connected.

A booklet with associated Stories as well as hul̓q̓umín̓um̓ words and phrases is available free of charge at the pool as well as a free download.

The stories in the booklet are:

Q̓ullhánumucun (Killer Whale) Transformation 

K̓wal̓uxw (Dog Salmon) Run

For more information and links to the booklet and recordings of the story, visit the Projects Page of the City of Naniamo

Learn a few spooky words in Hul̓q̓umín̓um̓!

Tth’oxélets, otherwise known as the Basket Woman or Wild woman , is a frigtening being that has been told of in Coast Salish stories for many generations. She was known to kidnap young children who did not listen or who did not return home after dark, bringing them back to her home up in the mountains to eat.

Tth’oxélets, has a large basket woven out of cedar that she used to carry the children that she captured. In this activity, students will design their own cedar baskets or a mat while investigating patterns and measurement.

Sing along in Hul’q’umi’num’ to this lively album of happy friends. Both albums are available online  along with lessons and a resource guide. The CDs  can also be signed out from the Indigenous collection.

 

Note, the lyrics are written in an orthography different that the one being used in NLPS.

In this unit jointly created by NLPS and Ocean Networks Canada, students will explore multiple ways of knowing the beach environment through exploration of Hul’qumin’um’ language, personal connections, and science. Features include the Coast Salish story Xeel’s the Creator and an in-depth look at plankton which connects the biosphere, hydrosphere, and Earth’s daily rotation. The concept of system sustainability is central to the learning in this module, also represented through the meaning of the title which translates to working together as one with positive relationships.
