Buses Mean New Life For Jimmy
By JOHN MATTERS Citizen Reporter
MORCETOWN � Fifty years ago' Jimmy Peters' life would have begun and ended here.
But today Jimmy, like hundreds of other Indian children in this native settlement, will probably spend the fishing seasons at Prince Ruperr.
Or he may go cast to Smithers where he can spend his holidays skiing and hiking.
Whatever he does, the eight-year-old youngster is caught between the conflicts of two cultures.
Yesterday afternoon he was standing on the roadside watching with amazement the departure of the first Prince George
to � Pi ince^ Rupert bus service.
In the background were two staunch, tall totem poles. Behind a dump of trees four of hit; brothers and sistera were hiding.
Salmon nets were hanging on a garden fence drying.
The community was indoors while guests from the bus whirred their movie cameras, up and down the totem poles.
Occasionally a curtain moved, a child's face was shown but it soon disappeared.
Jimmy attends a residential school along with other children from the center. His parents have just finished mending their nets for the busy salmon fishing season.
(One Indian caught a 27-pound
spring here last week. "It's a big one but fishing isn't as good as it should be," he commented.)
"Who are dey?" Jimmy said pointing to the bus.
It will come through Morice-town every day, he was told.
"Could I go on it too," he asked.
"And where could I go."
One of these days Jimmy will board that bus and see. something he would have never seen from the fishing boat his father uses.
In a few more years he may want to leave Moricetown and all he'll need-to do is save his money to take himself on a journey beyond a -community where the horizon is filled with totem poles, steep riverbanks and snow-capped mountains.
