PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. 1930s - The story of the Nishga Girl began three decades before its 1967 construction, when two young men - Japanese Canadian Judo “Jack” Tasaka and Nisga’a hereditary Chief Eli Gosnell - met and became friends at Claxton Cannery, on the British Columbia coast. The two men bonded over their shared passions for fishing and for boat building, an art that Judo Task perfected over the course of his life. 1960s - In 1967, the Nice family, supported by B.C. Packers, commissioned Judo Task to build a boat for Chief Harry Nice and his wife Deanna. Judo Task had been recommended by his longtime friend Chief Eli Gosnell, who was Chief Nyce’s grandfather. JudoTasaka suggested the name Nishga Girlfor the boat, in honour of Chief Nyce’s seven sisters future daughters. 1998 - In 1998, continuing their father’s work and the friendship between the families, Judo Tasaka’s sons Bruce and Donald volunteered to refurbish the Nishga Girl before its donation to the Museum by Chief Harry and Deanna Nyce. The Nice family fished onboard the Nishaga Girl for more than 20 years. Their fishing route stretched from the Nass and Skeena rivers to British Columbia’s coastline and the islands of Haida Gwaii. The boat was a significant source of income for the family’s growth and education, ultimately supporting 11 university degrees over three generations. “The Nishga Girl staying at the Museum shows how Canada is progressing with making connections with Aboriginals and showing how we as First Nations play a role in society today. It shows how we first started making connections with people of different ethnicities, in this case…with the Japanese, and how our values are similar. Even though our backgrounds are different we can all relate to each other in some way.” |
