\"Longhouse
Longhouse women are addressed as \"O'seam\" when they are the daughters of Hereditary Chieftains.
\"Longhouse
Longhouse Women want a voice on social-economic matters of the Nation!
\"Like
Like everyone has a \"flag\" many nations have their spirit animal. Coast Salish People have the thunderbird.
\"Coast
Coast Salish People continue to use a canoe to paddle back and forth. Hand made by carvers of Coast Salish Territory, not store bought.
\"Coast
Coast Salish People were treated lesser than human under Policy.

The research must become written, words transcribed, our culture to become acknowledged by Canada; the men are not voted into Chieftains of Coast Salish Territory, they are Chieftains by bloodline, and appointed by a Clan Mother of the Longhouse. That is the way it has always been for over 10,000 years. Thank you, love & light
\"Longhouse
Longhouse Women worked, built an economy, gave their children and grandchildren Indigenous Names, and carried the word of law - not the men. Aho
\"First
First Nations women experienced untold abuses under the Indian Act and rendered voiceless, without protection by bands and the justice system.

Grandchildren of Hereditary Chieftains, and especially the women of the Longhouse of Cowichan have been rendered voiceless under the Indian Act on all matters concerning:



1) Lands, Sea, Economy, Housing, Family, and Reserve Policy



2) We seek to engage Elders, and Cultural People to come forward to a forum to become documented on the Past Indigenous Culture, Names, and Places



3) We need your support to have this Forum of Engaging them; please support, care, and donate!



4) Social - Economic issues on-off reserve; where have we been and where are we going? 



5) Oral history that matters, and giving Voice to Indigenous Women of the Longhouse.



6) Native women rising of the Coast Salish Territory! Culture Matters....



7) Supporting one another, without conflict or discrimination; to become a voice!



we continue to campaign, please purchase beading or donate; your support is greatly appreciated, love & light to all women around the world who understand our struggle to overcome barriers to be free; https://noahbeads.blogspot.com/

Aho, Huy Ch Qu'...
