An Open Letter From 7 Time Nammy Winner JIM BOYD
We are LAKES, ARROW LAKES, SINIXT!
P.O. BOX 384 Inchelium, WA. 99138
JIM BOYD / Facilitator 509.879.0241
ArrowLakesAboriginalSociety@gmail.comThe year I was born in 1956, the Canadian government said our people were extinct, but make no mistake, we are still here! ...Jim Boyd
My name is Jim Boyd and I have lived most of my life in the Inchelium area of the Colville Indian Reservation. My mother Violet Boyd, and my father Louis Boyd both had lineage from Sinixt Arrow Lakes in what is now British Columbia.
Although the Sinixt original territory was vast, the location that my family was from was a place where the Canadian government started, but failed to establish a reserve for our people. This was at kp'itl'els, which was an ancient Sinixt trading site and village. The result was the exile of many Sinixt people. By 1900, My great grandfather Baptiste Christian and his family were among the few Sinixt survivors still living there. Time and time again Baptiste and his brother Alexander Christian asserted their ancestral rights to kp'itl'els and expressed their deeply felt attachment to it, only to be forced from their land that had been their family head quarters for many generations.
The only Sinixt reserve ever recognized by the Canadian government, the Arrow Lake Indian Band, was formed in 1902 at Oatscott, which was on the west side of upper Lower Arrow Lake. In 1956 when Annie Joseph passed away, the Canadian Government declared the Sinixt Arrow Lake people extinct. At that time there were still hundreds of Arrow Lakes people living in their territory and on the Colville Indian Reservation in the United States.
Today, with many Sinixt people still living on both sides of the 49th parallel, The Arrow Lakes Aboriginal Society strives to advance the rights, title, and interests of all Lakes people. I am honored to hold the position as Facilitator of this organization and strive to help bring us all together to achieve the recognition we deserve as Lakes people.
