Bows and Arrows

[edit]

Reading this made me think of the Bows and Arrows, the union for Squamish longshoremen. I have an article on it somewhere, and it'd be nice to do up an article because its an interesting yet little known piece of local history. I believe it was originally affiliated with the IWW and survived for a while even after the International Longshoremen's Association was squashed. Anyway, Paull was no doubt active in the union, so I thought I'd mention here in case anyone else comes across any details (that means you, OldManRivers). bobanny (talk) 05:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually seen references to the Bows and Arrows. I should ask the elders about this. I also seen it in Conversations and Stanley Park Secrets. It's pretty neat. OldManRivers (talk) 07:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes

[edit]

I got this quote which I don't know where to add or how or if I need to at this point, but I'll save it on the talk page to integrate later as the article expands. OldManRivers (talk) 07:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It was the duty of the more responsible Indians to see that the history and traditions of our race were properly
anded down to posterity.  A knowledge of our history and legends was similar as an education is regarded among 
whitemen.  Those who possessed it were regarded as aristocrats.  Those were indifferent, whether adults or children,  
were rascals.  Being without means of transmitting it into writing, much time was spent by the aristocrats in 
importing  this knowledge to the youth.  It was the responsible duty of responsible elders."[1]
